This is how homeschoolers really are.


Busy Body Books and Barbies

Last week, I won a prize over at Bloggy Giveaways. The lovely and entrepreneurial Joan from Busy Body Books sent me an awesome organizer pad which goes on the fridge:



The fridge pad has a magnet on the back to hold it on, and the pages tear off a gummy spine, like notebook pages. The pages are the right size to file when you're done with them, if you're so inclined, and the magic innovative quality of this particular organizer is that each day is divided into columns, not times. So if you want to keep track of members of your family separately, or keep track of separate projects, or workouts, or whatever, in their own columns, you can. Very interesting. So, I'm using mine! Thank you Busy Body Books and Bloggy Giveaways! Lovely!

In other news, here's our girlygirl school moment of the day:



Sadie is teaching her Barbies how to make letters. Too much. The Barbies are very recalcitrant students and need lots of demonstrations and persistently mistake D for B and also are rowdy in class. Isn't that just what you'd expect?

    I love the Barbie School in spite of the obvious fact that it doesn't have a dress code.
