Today, April 30th, is:
Hairstyle Appreciation Day (“Oh, I just love your mullet!”)
Mean Girls Day (is this a day for mean girls to freely give put-downs, or is it a day to love your enemies and treat the mean girls in your life the way you’d wish they treat you?)
Mr. Potato Head Day (do you play [...]

It seems like I’m always learning something new. My latest education was about poison oak/ivy/sumac. Did you know that it takes 12 hours to 2 weeks for the symptoms of exposure to show up? Neither did I. I thought it would be the almost instantaneous reaction like you get from nettles.

My desktop computer died yesterday along with a bunch of family photos I’d stored but hadn’t backed up, articles, and even a book outline. Ugh. I’m using my laptop right now. Thank goodness it’s working!
The biggest inconvenience so far has been that I had to recreate the notes and outline for a teaching I was scheduled [...]

I found myself wondering this week how other parents use the Internet and other modern technologies to further their children’s education. Any thoughts?
My kids really seem to understand the whole idea of research due to having access to the Internet. For example, my son saw a movie last week that had been based loosely on Chinese [...]
