All of my blogging is now done at Field Lily Press. Because homeschooling is who we are, I could see no reason to separate my daily living and homeschooling posts.

Hi Everyone,

Follow me on over to A Field Lily where you can read all about the everyday life and times of the Wright house. I just didn't see a prevailing reason to keep the two blogs separate. Here's how it will work: sometimes the posts will be about life, and sometimes they'll be about homeschooling. Wait! Aren't those two one in the same? My point exactly.

I've added a homeschooling helps link on my sidebar. This is a free file sharing network for all homeschoolers. Creative homeschooling moms have agreed to upload some of the things they've created to help the homeschooler in you. What an awesome idea. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PRICE: FREE!!!

For example, The Voyage of the Dawn Treaders has recently been released as another movie in The Chronicles of Narnia series. You can link up to the Homeschool Launch page, and print out several free pages that will help your younger ones enjoy the book/movie also with printable coloring & manuscript pages for copying. Some families print out the pages and occupy the younger ones with these engaging sheets while they read to the olders. Truly, there's something for everyone!

When you go to the HS Launch website, you'll discover that they have hundreds of pages for your use on every subject under the homeschooling umbrella, (including organizational pages.) I hope you'll take a few minutes and browse, browse, browse. Then, save it as a favorites!

While I'm not permitted to link you directly to that particular page on Voyage of the Dawn Treaders, I can give you this link to Homeschool Launch. It's as simple as setting up a free account, and you're good to go! Hope this helps!

What more can I say than I believe this to be the BEST homeschooling magazine out there. In my house, it's read by both my husband and myself, cover to cover, more than once. Plus, I keep them all. To read again, of course! This would make a great gift for this time of year, or any time, but with their $7.95/year special they're running right now, I'd jump on it.

It is a Bibilically-based periodical that will keep the homeschooling fires burning, and maybe start a few new ones in your own circle of friends.

Preview the link, or go to their website to request a sample issue.

Here is a great link for making an Apple Turkey.

I was looking for a fun activity for the children to do, and Cindy Downes of Oklahoma Homeschool and How to Homeschool Today had this posted on her Facebook Page. Not only is it fun and super cute, it is EDIBLE!

Head on over to A Field Lily for my recommendation of Erskine Family's Homeschool Radio Show called, "The Path of Praise," which is about the history of our celebration of Thanksgiving, served up at no charge!

Thanks for coming by, and may the Lord bless you beyond expectation this Thanksgiving.

If I can teach art, anyone can. I am loving the beauty and methodology of Artistic Pursuits art curriculum. They have a way of making you want to atleast "try". Today: Watercolor of a photograph of your choice. My choice: a beautiful sunflower.

For Artistic Pursuits, watercolor means using a selection of watercolor crayons. First you draw your picture, color it in (don't forget to color light or dark depending on how you want your picture shaded.) Then you "paint" over your colors lightly with water from your brush. What a beautiful and relaxing way to learn and enjoy art.

The key to loving teaching art is to find a user friendly art curriculum that brings out the artist in you . Mission accomplished.
