I missed you. I’m glad you’re still here.

Two kids sitting in a canoe shaped swing hung from the top of a doorway. They are looking at a magazine with lots of pictures.

We got our fist issue of The Week Junior. I’m looking forward to talking about the news with my kids. #homeschool

Two white kids standing on an awards podium at the special olympics. They are wearing red leotards and black shorts. They each have medals around their necks and are wearing medical face masks. They are in first and third place.

These kids just rocked their first special olympics competition! I'm so impressed with my babies!

Usually I start cleaning in the living room and run out of steam before getting to the kids’ room… today I started cleaning in the kids’ room and after I finished they both went in and fine tuned my work :)

Yup, thats why I don't really read much from Steiner... He had a lot of awful things to say. But I love using stories and music and movement to teach children. I guess that's why the program I work with is Waldorf inspired and not Waldorf. I will not lie to parents or students.

The changed Denali
Back to mt mickinley too… such weird priorities…

FYI, the relatively low light in this video is due to me having a migraine that just won’t go away.

Now that all the christmas stuff is finally packed away I can finally have space enough to tidy. One hour of putting stuff away in 30 min.

I do not follow Steiner religiously. There are many parts of his ideology I disagree with. Here in American we have a huge number of homeschooling parents who choose not to vaccinate. I strongly approve of vaccines. And I think it is so sad that children continue to die from preventable diseases.

Today is my birthday :)

Any way to get this without a pay wall? I’d love to read it.

My sister has ear buds that don’t actually cover her ears… so she can hear what’s going on around her and listen to music or podcasts… they are really cool. Something like that may be better if they need music in class?

I’m just curious… because if you’re listening to music, how can you understand what the teacher is saying… and if you aren’t there to understand the teacher… then why not stay home???

I just think they will always feel to safe and secure to care…. Until it’s far far too late.

We’re they listening to music during class??

Yup, it’s just sickening

I’ve been thinking the same thing lately. But I can’t imagine that there even IS a point where things will be bad enough for most of us to change… because those with the money and power will always be safer than the rest of us. And if THEY don’t change? Well nothing will. My sad opinion.

This is crushing… definitely not going to ease the housing crisis… sigh … it’s going to be harsh

Autistic child speaking to her autistic sibling and possibly autistic parent : “That was a joke, did you hear the joke?” … parent and sibling look confused, “no”… first child then says, “I don’t know why I was saying that, so I thought maybe it was a joke”… we all shrug. (Lol)

Must be tough down south… up here I’m part of several secular in person groups.. if you like snow come up here :)

It’s called Sec_HS… do you see it? Sorry if I’m over/under explaining

So someone made a feed for secular homeschoolers… I’m pretty new to this, but I’m trying to figure out how to share it with you

The post holiday COVID (and RSV) spikes are happening now… and the common cold (rhinovirus) is in decline… so please test if you are sick… the chances of it being “just a cold” are lessening now.

Thank you for posting this resource… I clicked on the link and it brought me to the respiratory graph. But I cannot find a menu to help me get to The GI graph. Can you help me find it?

How can we finally increase the number of scientifically literate people in the USA so that we can put a functional end to anti vaxxers, climate denialism, and anti-science rhetoric in general? Asked by a science teacher.

That swing is awesome!
