Sometimes I'll save my own winter clothing shopping for after Thanksgiving sales too. But again, the list. . . Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day? - Blog Entry23 Nov 2007 06:26 AM Great blog Mary Ann. We make a list of what we might like to get our kids. Then we compare them to door busters. Last year and this year we decided not to go to Black Friday stuff although we will do some shopping tomorrow. But frankly, the door busters were not worth getting up for. It was the same last year. It all depends on what's on sale. And I think people forget that generally, there are really good sales throughout the month of December leading up to Christmas. ;-) Point is. . .LOL. . .that I find making a list is a pretty good way to stick to a budget and not spend more money on good bargains than you intend. Ask a Homeschooling Blogger: Why Are You So Against Government Intervention? Part 4 - Blog Entry22 Nov 2007 05:45 AM In fairness. . .the letter was well written and wasn't accusatory at all. But there was no way to copy it as it was very long, AND edit it in such a way that it didn't sound like that. So I just edited it so I could respond and did the best I could to preserve the tone. It's like when you watch a news segment and they edit something you say to put a spin on it. . .I wasn't trying to spin it. . .there just wasn't any good way to reproduce that particular part. But clearly someone who is ignorant about homeschooling. Reason #2 Why Tax Credits Are Wrong for Homeschoolers - Blog Entry22 Nov 2007 05:32 AM $250 is absurd. It's better than nothing though. I don't know if you read my first post on tax credits, but I address your point there. Eventually, I will adress the $250 tax credit for teachers. . . Homeschooling in Pennsylvania: Operating a Homeschool - Blog Entry22 Nov 2007 05:02 AM Yep. . .New York tops the list with the most amount of paperwork. Hawaii tops the list as very difficult to get "approved" and people being given a hard time and PA falls somewhere barely beneath New York. . .but just barely. ;-) After having written about almost all of the states, PA seems to have the most convuluted law. It's kind of difficult to tell which is the best option. Is It Okay To Be Angry With God? - Blog Entry20 Nov 2007 07:18 PM I think in looking at the Psalms, we see David frequently crying out to God in earnestness and honesty asking 'why'. He always comes back to praising and recognizing that regardless of his own immediate and temporal circumstances. . .God is good. So I would accept that all emotion expressed towards God is appropriate as He is a loving Father. . .but that it eventually brings us back to intimacy with Him. Ask a Homeschooling Blogger: Why Are You So Against Government Involvement? Part 3 - Blog Entry20 Nov 2007 07:01 PM LOL I always appreciate your comments Janet. I suspect that this person is a teacher and has that, "what will they do without me" complex. I don't know for sure bc they didn't say that. It's just my thought. Challenging the Status Quo on the Age of Weaning - Blog Entry20 Nov 2007 09:37 AM Thanks for the comment! I think it's something that has been engrained in our society. Formula was really seen as the hygenic way to feed babies and not using a bottle was akin to being a pauper. There is also a lot of support here and in the forums for bfing! Good for you for making such a healthy choice for your baby! Initiating Breastfeeding with the Breast Crawl - Blog Entry19 Nov 2007 06:30 PM Ya know. . .I was kind of wondering the same thing. I had never heard of the breast crawl before this year. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 |
