Milestone Alert!


I am now on "solid" food!  Oh the joys of growing, I see mommy and yaya listing food options for me to try.  One at a time though. We are practicing the 4 day wait to test me on allergies.

Our Music Journey So Far

W hen I was young,  I was lucky to have access to music in different forms and styles.  It was so accessible we actually took it for granted and for a time,  wasted the opportunity.   My mother was a piano teacher,  the best basic piano teacher in our small town.  She knows how to make a person play a musical instrument with information that sticks as a core memory.  Not just the easy playing style that would make you copy playing a piece and when the session ends you will never play the instrument again.  She is good in theory and possibly child psychology or people reading she can customize a curriculum so that you can eventually play the instrument,  find your own time to go back again, and still could play and progress even after the session.    However,  she was my mother and I never was into making music as a passion so I didn't like my Saturday playtime and TV time stopped by piano practice and lessons during my you...

Dino all

J's 7th year creativity is a mishmash of many characters : Pandas, Larva, Sharks, Sesame Street Monsters.. but one of the stand outs for this year is her original characters from a collection she initially called Dino All!  The Dino All characters are cutified and with anthromorphic features.  Prior to this she was into dinosaurs in the encyclopedia sense where she could highlight and draw the characteristics, differences like a true geek.  And then the magic happened.

Triceratops as clay.  Meg.  The Megalosaurus as a plush project.

W elcome back to my blog.. and welcome back to me.. hehe.  I have been thinking about going back to blogging with the current advocacy much worth my mumblings.   This time I will be sharing our homeschool journey after being a veteran of 4 years completing a milestone and having my daughter recently finish elementary. What started me from homeschooling?  Many things,  but mostly because I realize learning is not a one size fits all.   It is a long story to tell,  it is not just one reason.  It may need to take up a whole blog session.   I saw that my daughter has potential but I can see that regular school needs to maintain a certain speed for most to follow.  The speed seems to be a pace that my daughter gets bored with,  to allow her to be within the speed limit, the school...
