Dear Julia,

A valid email address was not associated with your comment, so I shall reply here. Thank you for considering our family for your program. I did take a moment to check out M'Action Casting requirements for Mega Families. While we certainly do have 6+ kids, and very definite opinions about religion, nutrition, and education, I am not sure those opinions need to be broadcast from any soapbox bigger than my little blog. Admittedly, the idea was initially tempting. It certainly stirred up a whirlwind of comments among the family members! Still, we must decline your offer to further discuss the opportunity. I don't watch much television, but it has been my experience that the networks thrive on sensationalism. We prefer to keep the drama level around here as minimal as possible. That can be a full time job in itself!

Again, thanks for the kind words and consideration. God bless you and good luck with the search!

BTW- I attempted to remove your contact info before publishing your message. It ended up deleting the content of your comment. Sorry. Unintentional.

Wanderlust

Wouldn't it be fabulous if home educators could receive the same tax payer funding as the public school system? With that kind of money per child, we could go to Egypt, Greece, and Rome while studying Ancient Civilizations. Since it was always more of a daydream than a possibility, we visited those places in our imagination with the help of living books (lots and lots of books) and internet resources. It definitely spurred a wanderlust in all of my children. I think they also an inherited the travel gene from my Dad's side of the family.  As a teenager, his father took an unexpected journey as a stowaway on a slow boat to China (literally), which in a VERY roundabout way led to a career in Aruba, where my father was born.  As an adult, my dad joined the military and raised his family across the USA, with 4 year stint in Okinawa. Last count I had attended 16 different schools before finishing high school. Don't ask me to recreate that count. My memory isn't what it u...

Waldorf What?

When the link to Homeschooling on a Shoestring was published , there was some discussion about the overview of teaching styles. A friend of mine, who happens to be a very talented artist, was curious about the Waldorf Style. We hadn't heard of it before, at least not under this label. According to the post, it is a teaching style that integrates head, heart and hands. It involves art, faith and lots of hands on activities. While there are many elements of Waldorf philosophy that are not compatible with our Classically Catholic teaching style, we have occasionally borrowed ideas to make our curriculum more colorful and whimsical. Follow this link to Serendipity for free downloads of creative lesson plans and charming stories about fairies and gnomes that will make language arts and math the favorite subjects of the day. Since the author is all about keeping it Catholic, you will also find stories of the saints beautifully woven into the presentations. I imagine our summer will b...
