		<title>Because I Love You Very Much&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were sitting in Burger King yesterday.  On Wednesdays, if they get school work done my noon (which mommy works harder for than them I think) we go to Burger King.  This is not just any Burger King mind you, this is the one with the big multi-story play area!  They think it&#8217;s a treat [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yay!  Good Moments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, last Wednesday we are doing schoolwork.  No big shocker.  Working away.  After 4-year-old finishes her math work (Math-U-See Primer), which she zips through, I have a Math-at-home book from Walmart that she picks and chooses pages out of to work on. 
Let me inject an important detail.  This child LOVES to do worksheets.  I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m such a Slacker!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s been absolutely forever since I&#8217;ve written to this site.  My mother actually mentioned it a few weeks ago asking when I would be writing here again.   So I&#8217;m finally back.
What&#8217;s been going on in the almost year since I&#8217;ve written?  Ugh.  The big thing is that we moved last October.  That nationwide housing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Survived the Homeschool Fair!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we made it.  Babchie kept the girls for the weekend &#8211; and they had fun even if the weather wasn&#8217;t conducive Babchie&#8217;s big beautiful pool.
Scott and I went to HEAV (unfortunate acronym isn&#8217;t it) which stands for Home Educator&#8217;s Association of Virginia.  I was there last year, but this was Scott&#8217;s first time. 
The first [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Five-Year-Old Question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand.  I asked God to take away all of my sins, and I pray again and I ask Him to, and then I do it again!  I don&#8217;t understand that.&#8221;
Those words from a 5 year old will stop you dead in your tracks in the middle of the kitchen, washed grapes dripping a puddle [...]]]></description>

		<title>When I grow up&#8230; I&#8217;m going to teach Art.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s it.  Apparently it&#8217;s decided.  LOL
I have to admit I was a little taken aback by this &#8211; because this is the girl who announces to everyone she meets, &#8220;I&#8217;m a girl who really likes bugs.&#8221;  Seriously, this is how she introduces herself to people.  So I said, &#8220;I thought you were going to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Story Retention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve really noticed KTRose&#8217;s ability to remember stories I am reading to her.  She&#8217;s always done fairly well at this with her usual kiddie books, but with chapter books it has been harder.
When I pulled out The Well Trained Mind recently I was reminded of the work it recommends for retention.  Starting out with [...]]]></description>

		<title>My nighttime puttering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do something that totally befuddles my husband.  I know I do it, I know he doesn&#8217;t understand, but I can&#8217;t help myself.
I can see it at the end of the evening as we put dishes in the kitchen, start turning off lights in the family room.  He&#8217;s ready to go to bed now.  We&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Planning First Grade Curriculum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I said I would write about a while ago was what I am planning to do for next year.  So here goes.
Planning starts early since all the homeschool fairs get underway as early as mid-May.  So for me, that means I want to have a good idea of what I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Potty Training and a Stye in the Eye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, there&#8217;s never a dull moment is there?? 
On Sunday morning I had gotten fed up with our Lydia&#8217;s (age 3.5) lack of potty training.  I had taken to telling her, as I changed her diaper, &#8220;You know, Mommy thought I would be done changing these stinky diapers by now.&#8221;  She unfailingly said, &#8220;No Potty!  I [...]]]></description>
