Thank you! I can't believe I wasted all that money on pencil sharpeners just because I sharpened colored pencils! Ugh! Lessons learned!

I am finding out that you should NOT use electric or crank pencil sharpeners to sharpen your colored pencils. Does anyone know what you should use? The little hand ones you can get for a dollar or so seem to not do the job as the lead always falls out of the pencil. We use colored pencils a lot for ...

Mom 23, we usually get done about 2ish if we start at 8 a.m. But that includes eating lunch and some chores in between. On some days we get done at 3 p.m. if there is a little more work to do in the boxes. I made a rough schedule and try to keep to it as much as possible and that helps. We have simp...

I was wondering about the "Vivid Description" portion of Storytime...do you have your child copy the exact wording from the book or just summarize the vivid description? Thank you!

Have a wonderful day!

She knows her 0's and 1's and a few random facts in addition and hardly any subtraction facts. She is easily distracted ...

I am doing four guides and find it easier to do than to combine. In the fall we will begin RtR, CtC, Bigger, and Beyond. As the children get older they are doing more independent boxes.

Thank you so much for doing this! We have checked your blog weekly this year for an idea of what we would be painting and have appreciated all your work! I have even saved the pics on my computer so that we can reference them each year! Thank you again!

We did with all four of our children and I am so glad that we did! I would rotate the different toys/books each day so they would not get bored. Some days it was animal toys, some days it was people, etc. I had four children 4 1/2 and under so I needed the break and so did they. I would spread out b...

We start third week of August and end the second/third week of May. It is cold in MN so we like to take advantage of our summers
