Update: While this printer is a nice printer, after two weeks the scanner/copier light will not come on. You can read the update here. HP as of right now is refusing to offer any solution to the problem. I have always been a fan of HP products, I also had a love for Kodak. So when it came time to getting a new printer, I went with the Kodak ESP 5200. The main reason I chose this printer was because {Read More}
Finally Catching On
January 23, 2013 By Leave a Comment
It seems as though it has been an uphill battle trying to teach my daughter double and triple digit multiplication. I am very hopeful that she is finally catching on. I have found the easiest way to teach her these sort of problems is by printing off worksheets with several problems on it, and working them out with her. Her seeing me do them, and seeing how they’re done step by step has helped her understand how it all works {Read More}

This question is an easy one, why should one home school? I will be honest home schooling isn’t for everyone and neither is public schooling. When my daughter was in kindergarten we tried the whole public school route. The first week of school she was out sick for almost a week, germs yuck.

Picking The Right Curriculum

I think one of the hardest parts of homeschooling, it picking which curriculum is best. The past few years we used Switched on Schoolhouse. I liked the curriculum in the most part, but I did have a few issues with it. This year we went a different route because of money reasons. If we had the money to do Switched on Schoolhouse we probably would have. Instead we are going to do part Spectrum and part unschooling. We went to {Read More}
