Today is usually the busiest day of the week for us. I try to limit my time out during the week as much as possible to save on gas; piano lessons take place in the afternoon which gives us time to school in the morning and run errands before and after lessons. Today is a little busier than most as my oldest two girls have to clean their Daddy's office; they love having a "job" and once a week they walk down to his work and give it a good cleaning, it makes them feel important (which they are anyway) and getting paid for a job well done is quite nice too! So school started earlier than usual around here but things are moving along well.
Hope your day is full and joyful!

CDs I'm listening To Right Now!
I recently bought these two Cd's from Western Conservatory, I just finished Vol. 1 and am now listening to Vol. 2.
These are great for both beginning homeschooling parents as well as for those, like me, who have been homeschooling for several years now. Volume 1 is geared for ages 3-8 and you'll learn how to develope the right attitudes in your children, choosing materials and curriculum, inspiring children with creativity, turning your home into an incubator of curiosity, exploration, discovery and much more. I wish I had had this resource when I first started homeschooling; I believe it is an invaluable resource and am grateful to have it now. In volume 2, which is geared for ages 8-14, I am learning how to guide children into character, maturity and integrity; how they can take responsibility for their own education, teach them to love writing, how to use the media, help them develope a vision for their future, and much more.
Mrs. Botkin is easy to listen to as she has a lovely voice and gives practical advice on homeschooling and gives ideas and examples from her own experience.
