I got the red ones. I see all these beautiful sage and brown tone living rooms in design magazines, and think I need a change of decor!

Looks like they took off the free shipping :-(. That sometimes happens when they get inundated. The shipping is not too bad, but it changes the deal from "hot" to "warm".

"However, unless your child understands the concepts presented in the homework assignments, they are not doing enough homework." Good point. Only PERFECT practice makes perfect.

Chocolate Tours: Fun and Free - Blog Entry

Chocolate! Why'd you have to go and say that? LOL. We toured the Hershey chocolate factory in Pennsylvania. It was pleasant. Free samples :-D. More fun was that it dumps you into their huge store afterward!

Excellent points, Melissa! I used to live in a town that was closed on Sundays. Almost every business was shut down for the day. The only one I know that does that any more is Chick-Fil-A.

May I See Your Passport Please - Blog Entry

You're not kidding about the US being the only ones to worry about being PC. Every time we've gone through Narita, 100% of black men traveling alone get the full treatment. I really feel sorry for the sailors flying commercial as their whole neatly packed to the brim seabags get dumped on a table, rifled through, then left for THEM to repack! It happened every time.

California Considers Banning Spanking - Blog Entry

"I spank Tyler when necessary and I don't think anyone has a right to dictate if I should spank my child. " That's the crux right there. Whether I agree with how you're raising him or not, I don't have the right to tell you that you MUST do it my way. Scary thought, though, eh?

Where Did the Notion of Unschooling Come From? - Blog Entry

19 Jan 2007 02:04 AM

Valorie, I find unschooling to be contrary to Scripture. We are RELAXED schoolers. I think the difference is where does the final authority lie? Who makes that ultimate decision as to education? The unschooling definition is providing the children a rich environment and then getting out of the way (okay, that's a paraphrase). Children need a balance of what they want to learn and what they need to learn. Either extreme is wrong IMHO.
