COH @ DOL

That means that the Carnival of Homeschooling is up at Dave Out Loud.  It's a Reading Out Loud Edition.  It was a lot of fun put together..  I hope you enjoy it.

Carnival Homeschooling: Read Out Loud Edition


The Informed Parent has informed me that February is Library Lovers Month.  She would like me to inform you the same.  Since I am inrareform, consider yourself informed.

Stephanie Hoffpauir, who has all the vowels in her name (my apologies to the sometimes y people) asks Are you paying for a depreciating education?  It is a  summary of a piano teacher's experience with schooled students.



Charleen from Evey Bed of Roses poses (roses and poses, gotta love a little interior rhyme) the question: Winter Nature Study is it Possible? That reminds me, I have never posed for a question.s

Speaking of posing questions, What's the best game you ever played?  Jonathan of Questions and Answers  About Life writes about The Best Game You've Never Played.




Olivia of Need a Nanny? Hire a Nanny.  Have a Nanny? Leave a Nanny (It's actually just Hire A Nanny) discusses Proper Etiquete Rules for any Child, Perhaps Yours.

Susan of Corn and Oil presents the Kellog family adventures in Off the Grid.



Annette of A Net in Time finds spontaneous learning to be the most enjoyable way to teach her son.  In Enjoyment in Teaching she says it leads to information that really sticks into his head.

Chris Shaw of Home School vs Public School checks in with Learning About Government





Just like I have enlisted my family to participate in this carnival, Henry Cate of Why Homeschool has enlisted his daughter to share her college experiences in A typical day of college for our oldest homeschooler.

Ed of Irkitated closes the carnival with How about teaching kids practical skills in school Since he is the last I don't have time for my article, How about teaching bloggers to end their questions with a question mark?

It's been a good carnival, thanks for everyone who participated and all who will drop by. Thanks especially to my family members for doing the interviews. .   Next week's carnival will be at Homeschool Buzz.com . Now here I am to wrap this episode up.

Wolf wallpaper

In real life we have not called Puppy puppy in quite a while. She prefers to be addressed as Wolfina the wolf. She acts like a wolf almost all the time.

So I was not surprised when I took her to the build-a-bear workshop for her birthday that she chose a wolf and even called her Wolfina.

The  "bear" came with a little circular build-a-bear newsletter.  One of the articles was about how to take the box/house which the stuffed animal came in/lives in and make wallpaper with gift wrap.  Now, I am not very crafty crafty at all,  but this actually worked very well

Here are  the before shots:
