52 Lists week #26: The Things You Keep In Your Purse

-
What a fun and easy list assignment this week: list the things you keep in your purse / handbag.  I typically have a pretty small purse but somehow I manage to put quite a bit into it.  I am one of those people who feels the need to always be prepared "just in case!" 


Now I know this list is a bit long but I actually do carry around a fairly small purse- honest!
  • Keys
  • Cell Phone
  • Wallet
  • Small first aid kit/ stash of band aids (I have 3 boys!)
  • Gum
  • Sunglasses
  • A tiny make up kit with lip gloss, blush and a nail file
  • Pen
  • Mini hair brush
  • A Book (usually)
  • A small camera
  • Travel pack of tissues 
What do you keep in your purse?

    I forgot my cell phone on my list, but that's because I normally put it in my back pocket.

      I'm surprised I thought to put mine on the list... usually I forget it on the counter or the table and leave the house without it!

    Your list reminded me that I need to put a nail file in my purse. I keep forgetting and always need one when I'm out and about.

      I try to keep a few in there; I seem to always loose them and yet I need one so often.

    Now I'm wondering where the little pack of kleenex that used to be in my purse is. I didn't see any when I made my list.

      I often run out and forget to replace them.

Friday Favorites- The We We Went Snowshoeing

-

We had a lot of fun this week.  We tackled quite a bit of schoolwork and got a big box of new books for next year; it looks like we'll have a fun and busy school year to look forward to in the fall!  The boys and I spent lots of time outside this week.  We had some pretty nice weather and it was so nice to get out and enjoy it.



We went snowshoeing!  We have been waiting all winter to try snowshoeing.  We discovered a place near us that rents snowshoes and have been waiting for a snowy enough week to try it out.  We finally went on Friday with some friends of ours (who own their own snowshoes and have been before so they could lead/guide us).  We walked through the trails for over an hour and had a great time.  It's a fabulous workout and we had bright sunny weather that actually kept us toasty warm.  Before we even made it back to the center to drop off our snowshoes my oldest was price checking them on-line.






We stopped for our first and only Shamrock shakes of the season a…

Unschooling Ideas for all subjects

-

The boys all piled into my bed for some snuggling and cuddling.  We talked and just enjoyed hanging out with one another for quite a bit.  Once they all started tickling one another, feet were flying and wrestling ensued I decided to sneak out and spend some time on the computer coming up with a plan of activities.



It seems our weeks go best when I have activity ideas already in my mind when the week begins. 

 If we don't get around to them it's not a big deal, but it seems to work best if I have suggestions for some fun learning games and projects.

Typically I only plan enough activities to last us until lunch and then they're on their own for actual unschooling.

I don't force anyone to participate in any lesson or activity;  I suggest things to do that I hope they'll be interested in.

Lately, I've made the mistake of not having ideas at the ready and it seems like we're all floundering for things to do.  I started out trying to make a list of 5 activitie…

With the clock changing this past weekend we had a few days where we were off schedule trying to adjust to the new times.  I love this time of year though, even if changing the clocks can be a minor inconvenience it means that spring is arriving soon.  My thought turn to leisurely days outside, spring crafts and projects, and lots of sunshine and warmth (I hope!).

45 Hands on Projects & Ideas for High School Students

-

I am always looking for ways to engage my boys in learning.  My oldest son doesn't really like to read so I have been looking for way to incorporate hands- on projects that might interest him instead of just reading books about various subjects.

Here are some of the ideas (broken into core subjects) that I've come up with so far for some hands on learning that I think would be great for him.  We've even tried a few of them with pretty great results!




Science:

1. Make a model of the solar system or the layers of the earth.



2. Put together an electronic kit

3. Extract a strand of DNA from a strawberry or an onion

4. Dissect a fish, frog, worm, clam, cat, etc.

5. Build a vegetable garden or plant a few vegetables to take care of in pots

6. Build a model plant or animal cell using household items or food



7. Put together microscope slides and draw what you see

8. Grab a camera and go on a photographic nature or architecture hunt

9. Use gumdrops or marshmallows and toothpicks to…

100 Days of Science # 58 : Exploding Snow and Water Baggies

-
Image
When I saw this idea on Forgetful Momma I just knew my boys and I had to try this the very next time we got some snow.

It seems like no matter how many times we set off reactions with baking soda and vinegar or alka seltzer tablets and water my boys never tire of it.



For this experiment we followed all of Forgetful Momma's instructions and filled our bag with snow before adding a few alka seltzer tablets to the bag and sealing it shut we also decided to try a few tablets in warm water to see which would explode faster.









The alka seltzer tables in the warm water blew up the bag almost immediately!





We even had the bag with the warm water pop a hole in it first and splash water everywhere!





We never actually got our snow baggie to burst; but it did fill up so much that it flipped up on it's end.
