Free EBook over at Homeschool Classroom!

The Homeschool Classroom is giving away a free ebook for everyone who "likes" The Homeschool Classroom Facebook page! 

This is an excellent ebook if I do say so myself (I am one of the contributing writers, hee hee). ;)

Please note: There is a limit of 100 downloads per day. So, if you go to download and the quota has been met, try again the next day.

You will find complete instructions for how to get your ebook here.  Enjoy!!


On another note, I'm really no closer to being back to regular posting than I was when I last posted (try saying that 3 times quickly).  And... I'm realizing that since the beginning of this year my  heart has not really been into my writing here.  I'm not sure what that means for future writing, but I guess I've got time to figure it all out... I will need a new laptop anyway before and if I begin regular posts again.  I refuse to take twice the time to post than is really necessary just because my pc is old and very, very slooooooow.  So, I'm taking advantage of all this free time to work on a few projects, some of which were mentioned in my New Year's post many months ago.  I just thought an update would be nice, even though it's just an "I don't know anything" kind of update. ;)  Thanks to those of you who have emailed me recently.  It's so nice to know I'm not completely forgotten. :)

Take care, and have a beautiful day! :)

Uh oh!

Well I hope no one was really waiting with baited breath for today's final post on the topic of Academics in Preschool.  It's written up and saved and ready to go... but it's been lost.  I use Window's Live Writer to draft posts on my laptop and my laptop is now, apparently, resting in peace.  

Ironically, today's post was all about technology and young children, and how addictive it can be and harmful to their health.  And here I sit, not knowing what to do next without my laptop.  Hehehe.  It's been quite a year - computer problems last December and January, then an unexpected break for most of March and April, and then this... I think this is just not my year for blogging.

I'm not sure when I'll be back, but hopefully I will be able to retrieve that final post and publish it.  What I am more concerned about is the 6+ months of photos on the laptop that were not backed up anywhere else.  I'm not sure what it says about me that my first thought was of my blogging stuff and printables that I'm in the middle of making... but when I remembered the photos I literally felt ill. 

If anyone can send me in the right direction for retrieving items on my hard drive, I'd sure appreciate it.  I'm not able to get into Windows at all, I simply keep getting the start up screen and occasionally a "blue screen of death."   Helpful ideas left in the comments are very appreciated! 

I will still have limited access to email, so feel free to stay in touch!

Have a (more) beautiful day (than I am)! :)
