Petticoat Government: Happy Mother's Day!
http://petticoatgovernment.blogspot.com/2015/05/happy-mothers-day.html
Re: books, homeschooling and homemaking issues, political issues worldwide, archaeology, and religion. Saturday, May 9, 2015. Love it, hate it, tomorrow is still a good day to remember that no matter how problematic our family relationships might sometimes be, we owe our lives to our mothers. If my mom knew of this blog's existence, I'd wish her a happy Mother's Day in this post. Instead, I'll just call her after church and talk for a while. I think she'd prefer that anyhow. How did Jesus live? Subscribe...

Re: books, homeschooling and homemaking issues, political issues worldwide, archaeology, and religion. Thursday, July 30, 2015. We've been learning about Peru for the past week or two. Today a little Peruvian-American girl presented me with a carton of alfajores (sandwich cookies filled with dulce de leche) and informed me that yesterday she and her family were celebrating "the Peace of Peru." It turns out that yesterday and the day before were the Peruvian Independence Days, or Fiestas Patrias. Ask Arie...

Petticoat Government: Pot Protest
http://petticoatgovernment.blogspot.com/2015/04/pot-protest.html
Re: books, homeschooling and homemaking issues, political issues worldwide, archaeology, and religion. Friday, April 10, 2015. Here in Colorado, a majority of the voting populace has approved a little libertarian experiment: legal marijuana for recreational use. Today in the thrift store aisle, an employee loudly complained to another co-worker about how a female in his life doesn't appreciate him smoking "the janga" and argued that pot is no worse than tobacco. Teenagers are especially vulnerable to the...

Petticoat Government: Sixteen
http://petticoatgovernment.blogspot.com/2015/04/sixteen.html
Re: books, homeschooling and homemaking issues, political issues worldwide, archaeology, and religion. Saturday, April 25, 2015. Around age eight or so, most children have started to spend more time doing their own thing. For my children, this typically means reading, playing outdoors away from the patio door, drawing, or making an art store (so that I can pay them real money for artwork they made with craft supplies that I bought.children are such hopeful entrepreneurs). Ignorance is no Protection.

Re: books, homeschooling and homemaking issues, political issues worldwide, archaeology, and religion. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. To aerate or not to aerate. My husband doesn't think aeration will do much good. He was pulling up webpages about " hydroseeding. Last night. It involves spraying a slurry of fertilizer and seed onto bare ground to get an even cover of grass. It sounds expensive. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://petticoatgovernment.blogspot.com/2015/05/reciprocals.html
Re: books, homeschooling and homemaking issues, political issues worldwide, archaeology, and religion. Friday, May 15, 2015. Dd10 is about halfway through her fifth grade math book. She has been learning to multiply and divide fractions. As she started her math lesson today, she asked, "What's a reprotocal? Oh, a reciprocal! I said excitedly. "Let me show you.". I put her in a standing position directly in front of me saying, "Stand up straight. You're a fraction.". She and I shared a good laugh. Ask Ari...

Re: books, homeschooling and homemaking issues, political issues worldwide, archaeology, and religion. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Happy St. John's Day. This is the midsummer folk festival celebrated in Lithuania right after the summer solstice. We are studying Lithuania right now, so my oldest daughter gathered grass and flowers from the yard, and we all made wreaths. The girls wore them to a park where they launched the wreaths onto the surface of a duck pond. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hunting ...
