Pomme slept all night last night in her room. Most nights she ends up joining us sometimes between 3-5am, and nurses back to sleep. Most days now, that’s also the only nursing we do. But occasionally, she stays in her room until we go in and get her (or she comes to get us, saying [...]

How We Spent Our Remembrance Day
by heather
As I am the director of the Fredericton Concert and Marching Band (as of this past June), I was going to be involved in the Remembrance Day parade and ceremonies whether I really wanted to be or not. As a member of the band from about age 12-19, I’ve sure participated in my fair share [...]

Thoughts on Waldorf
by heather
It’s been a year (or so) of great flux for us in our homeschooling… and life in general. From moving across the country, to new cars, new jobs, not to mention a new house. From exploring Flipper’s issues (and realizing that it’s not something that just “better discipline” or “more self-awareness teaching” is going to [...]

My Favourite Day of the Week
by heather
This post is part of the MDC Blogger Challenge for homeschool blogs. I think my favourite day of the week is Wednesdays. I almost picked Saturday. On Saturdays, we get up and go to the Fredericton Farmer’s Market. I eat Betty Lee’s spring rolls for breakfast, Pomme gets a fresh-squeezed orange juice and her own [...]

Media Problem Solved and Strawberries
by heather
After googling about WordPress media upload problems, I browsed lots of irrelevant (about WP 2.5) or inapplicable (about blogs hosted at wordpress.com) or incomprehensible (change security settings to 777 — huh?), I did the simple(and overdue) task of upgrading my WP 2.7 installation to 2.8. And uploading works now. So here we have a picture [...]

Finding Your Blogging Mojo
by heather
Has it really been over a month since I wrote a new blog post here? Apparently it has. Well, not really. I did start a couple times, but for some reason my server isn’t allowing me to upload new photos so I gave up. And I’ve been putting off trying again, since it means having [...]

Saturday Morning Breastfeeding Comic
by heather
I follow a lot of online comics, one of them being “Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.” Before you go scampering over to check it out, be warned — the topics are usually very offensive. Part of the humour is in the dark and twisted switcheroos on dark and twisted situations. Adultery and murder are commonplace, as [...]
