Perseverance wrap-up, and what's next
Posted by Krista on Oct 18, 2011

It was high time we finished off our Perseverance lesson, so I purchased a 750-piece puzzle at a garage sale. The image of puppies in paint cans was attractive to our mini problem solvers, though it had way more pieces... [READ MORE]
The "A-OK as is" lesson
Posted by Krista on Nov 4, 2011

A few months ago, I was selling an item online and the woman who came to pick it up had a great personalized license plate on her car: AOKASIS (A-OK as is). The kids were curious and asked me what it meant. I explained... [READ MORE]

Rich kid, poor kid
Posted by Krista on Feb 1, 2012

Rob and I had a feeling our results for the “Rich Man – Poor Man” exercise might be atypical for two reasons: our kids don’t get a lot of screen time (no TV at all, occasional videos and computer time), and do get a lot... [READ MORE]
Peace and Contentment 101
Posted by Krista on Feb 24, 2012

Well, we’ve wrapped up our Contentedness series. It was the perfect lesson to straddle the holiday season and use in tandem with the Christmas lesson. I do believe our family experienced fewer “gimme-gimmes” and more “... [READ MORE]
