The Tortoise and the Hare
Excelsior, the Classical/Charlotte-Mason cooperative we are a member of, attended a play of Aesop’s Fables performed at the local community college. The kids really enjoyed watching the performers, one of which was the talented daughter of a homeschooling girlfriend. The rest of our day was spent enjoying some holiday munchies and rotating classes of science, music history, and language arts. My oldest son delivered his oral presentation of Thomas Edison to his peers. I had one of those surreal moments as I watched him speak thinking how he’s growing up so fast. It’s those moments that encourage you to continue with this homeschooling business.
Using everyday life to keep tone
Our schedule is packed with lots of activities this year, and they seem to keep multiplying as the kids get older. These activities affect my gym time, but I’m trying hard to stay active.
One thing I do is walk on my toes around the house. I do this when I’m teaching, when I’m cooking (rare), when I’m getting ready in the morning,etc. I’m hoping these little things will help in the maintenance of my stamina when I can’t get to the gym. It also makes me feel like a ballerina:)

Technology continues to change how we live and play. Ran across this site and found it interesting. I’ve no idea on their credibility, but it may be worth checking out.
