Asperger’s Syndrome: Gumby and Wolverine
Posted by Sallie | 0 comments
Asperger’s Syndrome: a body like Gumby with a mind like Wolverine’s core being Our son has always had a body he could do weird things with. He pops his jaw in and out of socket. He manipulates his fingers in a way that cracks and pops like wood on a fire. His neck twitches in a way that I sometimes wonder if he...
Moderation

Moderation. Now, that is a word we don’t like to hear very much in our current society! We have super size value meals at fast food joints. We have super sized home improvement centers. We have mega-churches in every mega-metropolis where we can worship. We have mega-coop clubs for our homeschooled children to...
Let’s Play in School

Home school doesn’t have to be work, work, work! It can be fun and games, too. Fun and games doesn’t necessarily mean not educational either. Toys can be learning! Wonderful, exciting, adventurous toys! But not if our special needs children toss them to the side and play with the box they came in instead. *Sigh* I...
Vacations that Teach: Living Education
Posted by Sallie | 0 comments
I love history in any size, shape, or form. More often than not, I combine learning more about our family history (genealogy) with major historical events in places we have come from in our migrations. My husband especially loves aviation history. Our daughter loves fashion design history. One of our sons loves anything that...

Today (the day that I am typing this) is the 15th of June. Due to time needed for editing, etcetera, our HOTM articles are due by the first of every month. Needless to say, I’m a bit late. I have been dwelling on what profound insight or encouragement I could share with you for weeks but, I’m sorry to say, I got...

We are getting close to the end of the school year and things are falling nicely into place. We even have a child graduating. UNBELIEVABLE!! It seems like yesterday she was my sweet little kindergartener taking her class bear to church with her on a Wednesday night. Now, she’s all grown up and preparing for...
Cultivating My Garden
Posted by Sallie | 0 comments
My husband and I finally decided that we probably are not going to move anytime soon into our own home and that it would be OK for us to spend a little money planting flowers to improve our base housing curb appeal. Several hours this past weekend were spent hoeing, raking, planting, and mulching. A lot of preparation went into...
Family Gardening

The home that my family and I lived in from the time I was in kindergarten until high school was a small, four bedroom home in the outlying suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky. Daddy had grown up on a 162 acre farm, so he wasn’t content with a small cookie cutter plot of land. We were luckier than most and had a larger yard...

How to respond to the negative stereotypes of homeschooling
Posted by Sallie | 0 comments
My mother is 90% deaf in one ear and about 75% in the other ear. She had a bout with scarlet fever when she was a little girl and it pretty much ruined her hearing. She has learned how to read lips pretty well but must concentrate to understand people. Her favorite saying when she hasn’t quite grasped what someone has...
