Inspired.
As a child I was spoiled with a natural fairy garden. We didn't have to invite the fairies we were already living amongst them. We lived in a house back in the woods. A few feet from our door was a dense mixed forest. We created a few main paths into the woods to play and explore. A trickling stream ran amongst the trees and an old elms roots grew out of a moss covered embankment over the stream. Playing there we could sense the fairies watching us. It was magical.
With this in mind and seeing some really lovely little creations online, I decided to make a fairy garden with my daughter....

PINTEREST!
Okay so you have heard the name. You may have been invited to the site, gotten there and were completely lost. This article is for you!
I was you. I was you two months ago. Now I am addicted to going to see what new item I can scrounge up to craft with the kids, teach the kids, make for the home, etc...Also great to find recipes that are new. We all need new recipes to get out of our food ruts we get into.
Anyway once you are there and have your profile page. The site has already given you some 'boards' to 'pin' to.
What are the boards? The boards are where you organize you finds.
What...
What a printer/scanner can do for you!
If you haven't invested in a printer/scanner for your homeschool then please do! Why?
It is an invaluable tool for printing out free resources.
Even if you use boxed curriculum it is super handy to be able to scan and print out your lessons instead of writing in the books you purchased. You can print for multiple students. Of course you should check with the curriculum company to make sure it is ok with their copyrights.
Other sites like Scribd, which is free, offer books to download that are printable.
Is your child bored? Search in your browser box for anything under the sun...
OH! WoW!
I can't believe I have been so long away from my blog! I knew it had been awhile just not so many months. I do apologize for that. I think things have been so busy. I created and with help pulled off the Northern Ontario Homeschool Convention. We are working on planning for our second convention next year.
I started a new homeschool group in our city for social activities. I am up to my elbows in planning to return to a more eclectic homeschool approach. Which translates into my making up all of our curriculum.
My dd finished two years of math in one this year. I found them...

Things...
This year has been super busy. I had an operation before Christmas which really slowed my computer time down. We are in the depths of our Canadian winter and I have switched our homeschool focus back onto the books more. I really have neglected this blog and I want to change that. So I am going to start by sharing some photos of this years projects.
Kids made arrows for history using purchased arrowheads and crafting feathers.
Not as historically accurate as a real arrow I know but I didn't want the kids to hurt themselves chipping arrowheads from rocks.
For a fun quick craft...
