I think I'd enjoy curling up in a big chair there in the corner. <BR/><BR/>Might I suggest one book you should look for to add to your collection... It is called "Cookies: bite sized life lessons". Kelley, I can picture you reading it with Alley! It goes through different words we want to pass to little people and uses cookies to demonstrate the concept. (not the healthiest idea, but what the heck)<BR/><BR/>for example... it say, "trustworthy means, If you ask me to hold your cookie until you come back, when you come back, I will still be holding your cookie. Cooperate means, How about you add the chips while I stir?"<BR/><BR/>I think you'd like it! What a gem your kids have in you.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00033406075620250333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36722246.post-53196149615722149762007-11-06T19:57:00.000-08:002007-11-06T19:57:00.000-08:00Oh, lovely.

I am a fan of both Charlotte Mason's methods and those of Susan Wise Bauer. That is a very interesting blend to make happen because their philosophies are very different in many ways. I can't remember if I've ever suggested Clay and Sally Clarkson to you before. Sally writes wonderful "mom" books and together they wrote "The Wholehearted Child", their homeschooling resource book. I think you would find it helpful and inspiring. She is a personal friend and her words mean so much more as I've watched her live them out. She also has a blog, I will Email you that info as I need to go and look it up =).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36722246.post-11796513540628246312007-11-06T19:56:00.000-08:002007-11-06T19:56:00.000-08:00I'm so glad you are pursuing homeschooling.
