If Only I Had Known
I went to primary #school with a diversity of #people who either were able to make something of their lives or had the connections to ensure they looked like they could. One of my classmates' sisters ended up being the #curator of a leading London museum.
Making Ancient History Accessible

Worst Day
I wouldn't say that it's the worst day of my life but would say that it is one of the worst. My mom's #laptop which I always used just got broken today. I am really sad about this since most of my #important #files are there. I will no longer be able to do
My life is in danger!
Bury an orange and a banana peel, a paper, a plastic plate, a tin can, a polythene bag and a piece of bread in soil to see if they decompose or not. Add sugar, talc, chalk, oil and salt to water and see if they dissolve. Mix lemon juice/vinegar with #ba
Florida Flowers in Texas Gardens

Finding Myself
I remember when I was in seventh grade. I think that's called junior high school. Up until the end of seventh grade, I neglected my school work in favor of games and entertainment. The first time I asked a teacher a question, the teacher nearly fel
Nothing Beats Old School
I'm an old soul hence my choice to carry items in my online shop that wax nostalgic and say vintage. Sure, the bling and shine of newer things cannot be taken for granted but the old has an appeal of its own sometimes more so compared to than the most rece
Dad, Math, and How to Get Your Kids to Bring Home a Great Report Card
My father was not the best at being a father. He did have his occasional flashes of brilliance, but otherwise, parenting was not one of his finer skills. He knew that. My mom told me often that he wanted to be a good father, but that "
Back to School

To Send or Not to Send?
When I first get up in the mornings, I grab a cup of coffee and sit down at the computer before I wake the grandchildren up for school. This morning I caught a County 911 message on Facebook about a winter weather advisory. What? I jumped up to t
Helping children develop good reading habits
One of the best things about my children's school is that they put a lot of emphasis on #reading at junior level. Every child is issued reading books every week and children have to read them under parental supervision at home. Children keep a reading reco
Just When I Thought Things Would Get Back to Normal
Having gotten the kids all back to school, I was hoping life was going to go back to normal this week. But it seems the powers that be are determined to keep throwing curve balls at me. The re-entry process is rushed this year, and we're already having to

Fun Ways to Get Kids to Eat Fruit
Fruit juice is a common item in a child's school lunchbox, but it really isn't the healthiest choice. Kids who rely on juices to get their fruits for the day are drinking a sugary beverage that has as many calories as the same amount of soda pop. They may
Back to School for Convicts?
Yesterday when my husband, the Wolf, drove by the local high school he saw a notice on the electronic bulletin board that announced the start of a new school year on September 2nd. Of course I think most parents and teachers would be very happy to see that

Summer Homeschool
I have always wanted to homeschool because of the chaos that I went through while attending public schools. Though I had no clue where to begin, how to get the materials needed for homeschooling, or if I was smart enough to teach them what they n
How to Write an Exam
Exams are the final hurdle for most students when the school year ends. After all the hard work they've put into preparing for lectures and writing term papers, that last challenge can sometimes seem insurmountable. But for a student who has worked steadil
Summer Begins
Today is the last day of school for my son and school opened the door to let out students at 11:00 AM. To my surprise, I saw many police cars patrolling the streets around the school to break up groups that were rowdy. When I was young (you heard this com
