I'll have to see if I can dig out a picture of what I've made....it's been a while since I've made anything. I'm working on some longies now for Olive but never get a chance to work on them so they are slow going...I think I'm going to have to make it a priority! LOL...I want her to USE them THIS winter LOL....

As for homeschooling...we've had some trial and error....We have used Sonlight, Abeka and My Father's World....none of them really suited us though I LOVED all the books that came with Sonlight...it was a nice library builder! LOL....Sonlight was a LOT of listening skills needed and DD wasn't ready for that...Abeka was a lot of busy work and I just didn't get into it with that one...MFW was ok...but I just didn't end up liking it much....

Currently we are doing a mesh of things....I found for me doing different curriculums works best....We are in 2nd grade here and in K....I bought several different company's curriculum...one for science, one for math..etc....and each one is broken in to lessons so we just do a lesson from each per day...works best for us...

As for grade level....My DD is "supposed" to be in 1st grade and is in 2nd...if I waited for her to be ready by the govt standards she'd be a year behind...she missed the cutoff by 25 days. So that was one of the reasons we started homeschooling...and then it bloomed from there LOL...

I'd love to see your woolies as well! Knitting just amazes me....I stink at it...not joking! LOL

Here's to hoping your cycle straigtens out so that you can TTC...though I'm sure you dont mind the break...I know I'm happy to not have an AF...and that God is naturally spacing my children on his own without help of chemicals

What are your children's names....(Oh and you didn't have to change your siggy...I think homeschooling starts with toddlers )

oops...guess I didn't go in to what we are doing for K this year....

For K we just do a workbook that has math and phonics in it....and then we are also doing "God's World News" for the K level....and he listens in on Science (Apologia Zoology 1)....K is such an easy grade....mostly introduction to things...and learning letter sounds and how to blend them once the sounds are established...I'm really laid back for K and 1st.

We aren't to give a baby milk, berries, or peanut butter. We are to introduce new foods one at a time. But it's OK to inject several viruses, bacteria, aluminum, formaldehyde, phenoxyethanol, animal serum, mercury, squalene and more into an 8 week old? I don't think so.
In order to be healthy it is an unfortunate fact that people must be allowed the opportunity to be ill. I trust my body and those of my children to work correctly against the relatively benign diseases they vax for, and do not trust the ingredients in the vaccinations.
Our choice to not vax isn't based in ignorance, poverty, conspiracy theory and rumor. It's research, common sense, fact and evidence based..something the medical community has largely forgot about.
