 After we did our last experiment, Meredith asked if we could do another. When I asked her what sort, she said she wanted to fill up a bowl of water and put an apple in and see what happened. I almost tried to veer her in a bit of a different direction [...]  I have had this experiment at the back of my mind for a long time, but recently read about it again and thought it might be something Meredith would have fun with now (and get why it’s so neat). Basically, you mix up two parts of corn starch and one part water (it works [...]  Okay, I’m not really. But I was interviewed for The Homeschool Co-op site. I’m really feeling like I want to start blogging more again. There is so much stuff I want to write down and remember and blog about and I don’t. I’m going to try to blog at least once a [...]  Back in September, we had one of our hens go broody. I tried a few times to stop her but she was very insistent, so eventually I gave in and put a few eggs under her. I had read on Backyard Chickens that with a mother hen, chicks should be fine even at this [...]  Years ago, before Meredith was born, one of the few things we really felt we needed was a car seat. We could do without a crib and stroller and most of the other “essentials”, but a car seat was definitely a necessity. I stumbled about the car-seat.org forums and was both fascinated [...]  The weather has finally gotten nice, and we’ve been trying to take full advantage of it. Over the last couple of weeks, we have visited some new (and old) parks and beaches. We’ve spent time with some good friends and met lots of new people too. We’ve been invited to a weekly playgroup with [...]  We were out with a good friend at the beach yesterday, and Fiona fell asleep on the way home. When we got home, I parked in the shade, left the doors open, and Meredith and I proceeded to take some pictures and talk about some of the flowers growing nearby while we waited for [...]  Friday I heard about a Children and Apple Pie Festival that takes place right in our little village, put on by a local independent school, Evergreen, as a fundraiser. It sounded like fun, so we decided to go check it out on Saturday. I’m glad we did. It was actually a great [...]  The other night we were sitting eating dinner, and Meredith pointed out that Kris’ taco looked like a triangle. We agreed it did and didn’t really think much of it, until she held up three fingers and said “That’s because it has three sides and three corners.” Such a seemingly small, obvious fact, but [...]  I thought these pictures were sweet. We were at a meeting for parents who practice EC hosted monthly by Deirdre at Continuum Family. Meredith loves Deirdre’s two daughters and it’s nice for me to sit and chat with likeminded moms (and dads too sometimes!) She’s in a phase of [...] |
