Wordless Wednesday
Written by admin on March 5th, 2008
I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 21 years and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I am married to my carpenter husband who is referred to here as the carpenter, papa bear, hubby, and big furry man (he has a full beard).
I am currently homeschooling my second oldest son. He has dyslexia and we have the most fun talking about words and the joys of reading and spelling. Really. Teaching him to read has been one of my greatest joys of my life. He will graduate from our homeschool next year.
I also homeschool my bright and bubbly (and very funny) 5th grade daughter, referred to as either Princess of the Universe or Miss Priss.
My homeschooling style is probably best described as eclectic. I love implementing Charlotte Mason-style ideas into my homeschooling as well as my parenting and I'm a huge fan of Karen Andreola's writings. The heart of our homeschool is Five In A Row.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I am a thrift store addict. I do medical transcription from home part-time.

The Usborne Internet-Linked Book of Knowledge
What Your Fifth Grader Needs to Know
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

She’s beautiful. I say she because she looks a lot like my little female.
