How To Make Your Children Truly Appreciate Each Other More Than Gourmet Coffee

Being utterly, mind-bogglingly brilliant. It does have its disadvantages!!  As HS1 just found out. MamaBear was reminded of this when HS2 came bounding up to her, showed her a balloon that smelled rather nice and said, "Look Mom!  I used air freshener to blow it up!" Talk about creativity!

Week 2, Day 5 Camp Ling – Word problems, Easy day, more!

OMG OMG OMG! Wait a sec, MamaBear never says OMG. <ahem> We interrupt this posting for some common sense. This morning at 12:01am saw MamaBear….at the movie theaters for the premiere of Harry Potter!

“How can I teach my child to tie her shoes?”

From the mailbag: "Dear MamaBear, My 8 year old has finally gotten shoes with laces, and she just cannot get it through her head on how to tie them. Help! Thanks, Anne in Georgia" Dear AiG, Remember when we were kids…and you had to tie your shoes in Kindergarten? Oh, those were the days indeed! […]

Week 2, Day 3 Camp Ling – Critical Thinking!

I have to admit…. So far, Camp Ling is moving along quite swimmingly indeed! Yesterday, I invested in a years' subscription to EdHelper, and printed out the clan's Algebra and math handouts.  It went rather well! And today, HS1 reminded me that he really likes critical thinking breakfast homework like: Michael, Elizabeth, Alexandra, Matthew, Nicholas, […]
