Yesterday a friend stopped by and got me all excited about homeschooling again. We were talking about different ways of homeschooling, and then I realized I haven’t posted much about homeschooling on the blog.
We talked about Unschooling- the new way to not teach. There is supposedly no syllabus, and no particular direction in which to teach your kids. You go with their interests, and follow where the interests leads. An example would be for kids who are interested in cats, so you take them to the humane society. From there they want to know more about kittens, where they come from maybe, so you take them to the vet to ask questions. Then at the vets the kid learns you can only keep so many animals, so you go to the city court to see the laws behind having pets.
Another way is through notebooking, which I do not know much about, except you write down everything that pertains to the subject in one notebook. A nice one we discussed was unit teaching, which is done with up to a few kids of different ages, and based on what the kids are suppose to learn you teach subjects like Egypt, the history, the culture, the geography, science of the area, and more.
I really like the idea of going by a specific syllabus for each child, that would involve christianity, morals, principles, math, science, social studies, cooking, and whatever else I can come up with. Not all at once but over time. I am not sure if I will ever come up with such a curriculum, but I am looking.
Until then here are a few different homeschooling references to share:

There is so much help you can find online for getting organized. The author of the e-books on the following page has written many articles on organization. Being organized can make life so much simpler, you will have less wasted time looking for things, and more time enjoying a clean, uncluttered, happy home and family.

Since Christmas my favorite online store is The Container Store. This site is a bit difficult to navigate I think, but has so many products that help you organize. It shows you different offices, child’s rooms, bedrooms and closets setup and you can scan over the products and see what they are and the price. One thing I found on this site is a laptop desk that allows you to store your mouse, and microphone and other laptop accessories in it, another product that is great is the museum putty. This stuff is used by museums in California to keep items on display stuck in place, it is good for houses with curious children and cats that skip all over the house.
When looking at the site, here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Buy items to use that will be easy for you to use and convenient, you don’t want to make more work out of organizing than you have to.
2. Try to think about what needs to be organized in your home and how much space you have to do it in.
3. There may be cheaper places to get the products you are looking for, check the stores in your area, and other places online.
Get Organized Now is a great e-book that has tips and other tools to help you get your home and office organized.

I am going to start doing a topic of the day with tips, sites and reviews or products. Anyways, todays site is so beautiful, but before you click, let me explain it.
The site is I am Pregnant.com. Pregnancy is such a such an amazing part of life. Anyways this site is all about pregnancy from trying to delivery I believe the site says. However there is a naked model on the front page of the site for symptoms of pregnancy. That is the warning I wanted to give. But it can show you what is going on with the baby during each week of your pregnancy, and help you through the ups and downs of the pain and excitement. Here is the link.
So to go with the pregnancy theme, the tips I would like to share today are about pregnancy. I have done a lot of research since my last pregnancy on being a doula, so in learning so much more about being pregnant, I have some tips to offer that I will follow the next time around.
1. I would definitely get a doula- somewhat like a midwife, helps you through pregnancy, labor, delivery, and bringing the baby home and adjusting within the family.
2. Massage Therapy or seeing a Chiropractor, or bonus, Both. I went to a Chiropractor at the end of my last pregnancy and just one adjustment made a huge difference. Check with your doctor or doula before going to either though.
3. Healthy Diet, from all the reading I have done, having a healthy diet, like fruits and vegetables is suppose to help morning sickness, or as though of us who have been pregnant might say, first trimester sickness.
4. Exercise. Pilates for pregnancy seems to me like such a great exercise. I love pilates, and though I don’t do it enough, I know just a little of the exercise can make a difference within a couple of days, and is so relaxing. Also I have heard that walking is great for pregnancy, because you can do it all the way through.
5. Never turn down help. All trimesters of pregnancy have their down times, like aching backs, nausea, tiredness, and many more. So when someone offers help, take it, the rest would be well worth it, and the person helping would feel good that they helped you, so you both win.

I bought and read this book last year, after seeing it on the Mops (mothers of preschoolers) website. It was written by Elisa Morgan, who is the founder I believe of Mops. This is a great group that I am involved in, in my area, and it is spread out all over the world. It is so nice to get out doors and meet other moms who are going through the same phase of life as I am. It is nice to find out other moms make mistakes, and that none of us are perfect, even those who might seem like it. I can honestly not say enough about the group of women in my Mops group.
Anyhow one of the many things I love about Mops is that it is Christian based. You do not have to have a religion to go to the meetings, or even have any faith yet, hopefully. Anyhow the book Naked Fruit is based on the spiritual fruits listed in the bible. These fruits are described on here. After reading this book, I felt much more spiritual. The cheapest I have found this book online is Buy.com they usually have some free shipping also. You can check out the book on Buy now by clicking here.

Today in my email I received a great article called “Got Cancer Killers?” We all have heard how important it is to breastfeed your baby, the doctors say it is best for them. Now breastfeeding has an even bigger incentive. According to the scientist in this article when breast milk was combined with human cancer cells in another experiment, the cancer cells started committing suicide. The only problem with this finding is that it was not found in an NIC professional lab, so the scientists are having a bit of trouble proving this to other scientists. The article is 3 pages long, and the best thing I think is that if this goes through, they might have found a cure to cancer, and oddly enough we have had it all along.

If you are like me you may have spent a tad too much on christmas this year. Well I have a few ideas on how to maybe save some money on the 2007 holiday season. Maybe stretching it out from now till then won’t make it seem so stressful and tiring.
Tip 1: Start now, make a list of everyone you know you have to buy for next year, and write what they like next to their names.
2: While shopping this year at all the sales you will visit, always have your list with you, and when you do buy something make sure to add it to your list so you always know what is and what is not still needed.
3:Make your own gifts. This year for christmas I received gifts in a jar, they were awesome! I love getting things like scrapbooks, quilts, blankets, and homemade organizing things.
4: Do things for people instead of giving them something. An example would be say I do not like to clean house, for a present you could come over and clean for an hour once a week for a month or something like that. You could do cooking, sewing, cleaning, car work, taxes, almost anything.
5: Photograph gifts are very nice. You can take a nice picture of someone or something and frame it up really nice for a gift. If you have ever seen the Family Stone (movie) someone gives everyone in the family a picture of the mother pregnant in black and white all framed up for christmas. Zazzle is one of many online photo places, do any editing on your photo program then upload and order.
As the year goes on I might have more ideas for you. Happy shopping and remember the goal for next year is stress free!!!!
