Yep, I’m one of those. My daughter says she goes to “Mama’s School.”
Over the weekend I discussed great websites for homeschool, remember? Well, I was browsing around the web for some stuff for my theatre company (I needed puppet templates) when I found this awesome kidscraft site. Here is the page on puppet crafts that lured me in. You can become a subscriber to her site and…
Who says you can’t have school on the weekend? During the summer? At 6:00 in the evening? It’s homeschool baby, and we do it where we want, when we want, and how we want…that’s why I’m doin’ it in the first place. Going with my new picking a planned day for specific kinds of posts,…
Today was our homeschool group’s Geography Day. Basically, each child/family picks a location somewhere on the earth and puts together a visual and/or oral presentation on it. Lots of interesting places were represented, from Iceland to Okinawa. Many of the displays included traditional food there were pierogies (btw, did you know how many different ways…
It’s become a Johnson family tradition: right around Miss A’s bday we head out for our annual trip to ReptileFest…what we refer to as, “the snake show.” I come along just to take pics…I have never liked snakes…not since I screamed bloody murder the time a little garter snake crossed my path on the side…
Guess what movie Miss A saw recently?
This morning while Miss A was at her gymnastics class and Lil G’ was napping I decided to do some surfin’ on the internets. A chase-a-link-athon brought me to a nice little site about organization. Sifting through, I found an idea I know I have to try. She calls it “pizza box storage.” And that’s…

Recently, I read a little article in one of the many parenting magazines I receive (more about my magazine habit and how I keep it under control later) that asked moms to reveal a “kid-like” trait of theirs. Answers varied from cutting crusts off sandwiches to having to touch everything. So I thought…what kid-like quirks…
But a pale lime…or celery? Maybe. Our mini herb garden, “It’s alive!” 10 days after we got things going, things are, well – going! All 4 of the pots we planted managed to germinate and show evidence of green growth, it was actually quite exciting! Of the 5 day germinators, the basil seems to be…
Indoors, that is. We planted a mini herb garden, and hopefully in a few weeks we’ll have a luscious crop of Basil, Sweet Marjoram, Parsley, and Cilantro. Hopefully. The project was simple, and not too messy…we used a gift A.J. had been given for the holidays (to which her original response was, “Oh great. A…
