Lapbooking/Notebooking/Scrapbooking Your Homeschool Adventures
Have you ever attempted something that looked easy and found that you were, at the very least, inept at it? Have you ever tried folding and making "minute books" or "minit books" for lapbooks? It seems to be a new craze in homeschooling this lapbooking thing. I'm thinking, sure, why not, looks fun! WRONG! Folding the little booklets that will hold all the information in cute folded designes is not for the weak. If they would have asked me to name them "minute book" would not have been in my top 5! Now, to be honest, I've never done well on the spatial relations portions of standardized tests. However, I was just about ready to throw in the towel-er-um-paper until I got a message from one sweet ami* of Homeschool Share who, true to her site's name, shared with me templates for minute books. The boys and I sat down and made several of these little dudes so that we are ready for lapbooking, notebooking, or scrapbooking---whichever suits our fancy at the time!

Hey there, Oney. Nice to hear from you again! We've just returned this evening from a long Labor Day weekend to see my family in Georgia. As a matter of fact, my father got remarried on Friday evening. We lost my mother to cancer three years ago, but he has found another nice lady and I'm glad he won't be alone. Since we weren't coming back until today, I decided to spend the rest of this week getting the house in order and schoolroom completely finished (I'll be posting pics on the blog this week I hope) and we'll start school this coming Monday. Yikes! I've enjoyed reading your blog, too. I'll have to make that a regular event. I get so much encouragement from you ladies who have been doing this awhile. I left my job for the last time last Wednesday, and it was a little emotional. I'm glad to be home, but it's a little scary letting go of that financial lifeline and personal outlet. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and thanks for your latest comment. I love that you're reading my blog! I'm glad we've connected, even in a small way. P.S. Your fellas are mighty handsome, too.
