My New Start for 2011

So in 2011 I really want my business to take off, I am going to put myself to the grind and really get this going! I am going to have a Home Show on January the 8th and would like for anyone who reads this to come, and if you can't then if you would like to purchase something let me know! January 14th and 15th I get to go to Philly for the Regional Rally! Which is so exciting because it will be my first one ever!
I am a shy person by nature, so this new adventure is going to be hard, getting out there to meet new people BUT I feel that WHEN I get out there and do this it will come more naturally and then I will be a pro at it.
Here is to a great 2011 for me and everyone that I am blessed to have in my life.

Our Winter Lessons and Fun

Well, we started with doing an Advent Calendar just a simple one with little candies on it so that Adrian could count down to Christmas, well he quickly lost interest and no longer wants to take the candies off! He lost one of the candles on our Menorah for the Hanukkah lessons too! Well today is St. Nicholas Day, I've got a few things planned we are going to watch Veggie Tales St Nicholas movie, do some crafts, and S for Santa Clause activity (even though he knows his letters) and talk about how St Nick got his start.
Also still to come is National Poinsettia Day I found a lovely Legend of the Poinsettia to tell him and also some science/social studies lessons planned with facts about poinsettias. Fun times...

and so starts.....

Today at sunset begins Hanukkah, obviously I am NOT jewish but we will still be learning about the holiday and even "lighting" a litte menorah. Also we will be doing an advent calendar today so that AJ can count down seeing as how he thinks everytime someone says its Christmas time he thinks we will go to bed and wake up to presents and stockings.
A few other things going on this month will be learning about the TRUE meaning of Christmas, Kwanza, etc...
A list of events this month (if you want to do any of them): National Roof Over your Head Day Dec 3rd, Read a Book Month, National Cookie Day Dec 4th, Saint Nicholas Day Dec 6th, National Poinsettia Day Dec 12th, Wright Brothers Day Dec 17th, Winter Begins Dec 21st, Hanukkah Sunset Dec 1st to Sunset Dec 9th, Christmas Dec 25th, Kwanza Dec 26th to Jan 1st....
And I have things planned for everyday!! Plus a few things in between such as making some decorations!! I just love homeschooling its a lot of fun, and when I went to school for Early Childhood Education we were told that when we taught pre-schoolers NOT to just teach the holidays that we observe but to teach all of them so that we did not offend someone who did not observe etc etc..so I figure that by starting AJ on them this year IF he ever went to a public school he would already know.
I will post some of the things that we have done for FALL and thanksgiving pictures are on FACEBOOK if you really want to see.
