Homeschooling a Toddler

I have been having so much fun with my little one this past year. He turned 5 in September and it just seems like in the past year he has gotten to be smart. He still like numbers better than letters and I have really had to find some super fun games and some movies to get him interested in even trying to learn his ABCs! He finally knows them and loves rattling them off to anyone and anywhere!! Now I have to tackle the learning to write and learn to write his name etc.
Most of my homeschooling worksheets and information comes for FREE from the internet and the library. I also have been lucky and have gotten great textbooks and workbooks at thrift store for almost free , children's books at our Goodwill are 50 cents. I have been buying them even if they are for grades ahead. I have most of what I will need for up to the 6th grade.
I am wanting to start a homeschooling group in our small town so that we can all meet and the kids can meet and help each other. I really think that would be a good idea. We could even go on "field trips". Go to museums , zoos, etc. Save money on gas etc. Most of the museums and places have lower group rates.

This is just a thought that I had and please correct me if I am wrong. But I do not think that this is a good thing , or really it is good, but not for the long haul. I think that it is just that time of year when companies are hiring seasonal ( Christmas) workers for Temporary. After the Holidays they will be back out of work. ??????? Maybe I am wrong. But, I remember hearing that there were quite a few companies hiring thousands of seasonal. Like Fed Ex was going to hire a lot. So this might be good temporary , but will it help in the long run????????

Just boil 4 1/2 cups of water and whisk this mix in! Soon your soup is done. I was surprised at how good it was and how easy it was to make. I am planning on getting some more of it.

Home Made Peanut Butter - I did it!!

Spent the day shelling peanuts and making homemade peanut butter. It was pretty easy. I got the recipe for doing it from my favorite book - Homemade: A Surprisingly Easy Guide to Making Hundreds of Everyday Products You Would Otherwise Buy
! I love this book! It has so many things in it that I have made. I use this book about everyday. But the peanut butter was pretty good. I did not get the peanuts ground really fine , so the peanut butter is crunchy. Which , I love!! So, this peanut butter is for me alone. Everyone in the house loves smooth. I will eat them both. I am too poor to gripe about the food. LOL

Oh and just found out that my son's computer does not have the right place on it for me to put my camera. It is an older Olympus digital camera. I had took photos of the whole process of making the peanut butter , too. :(
