free homeschool supplies

May 23, 2008 By: amyswandering1 Comment

Our local schools have paper recycling bins in the parking lots for newspaper, magazines, etc. This time of year can be a goldmine as teachers are cleaning out their classrooms. I discovered this little tidbit last year as I was dropping off my newspaper around the last week of school. The recycling bin was full of unused school items! I got a big stack of Kindergarten worksheets, several Language Arts workbooks, some science workbooks, and two huge unopened boxes of bookcovers – my kids have drawing paper for the next several years!

Check out Frugal Fridays for some great $$ saving tips!

Tragedy hit the family of Steven Curtis Chapman yesterday as they lost their daughter Maria in an accident. It is one of every parent’s nightmares. Please lift them up in prayer, especially their teenage son.

wfmw- printable chore charts

May 21, 2008 By: amyswandering3 Comments

After a long search for a chore chart online, I found this one at Chart Jungle that works great for us. I filled one out for each child, put them in page protectors and we made a Chore Notebook. My kiddos enjoy looking at their chart and making sure they completed everything so they can get their monthly allowance. (They each get their age in money the last Friday of each month: 3 y.o. gets $3, 5 y.o. gets $5, etc.)

If the chart we use doesn’t work for you, I bet one of these will:

More charts from Chart Jungle

Editable chart with clip art scroll down about 1/2 way

The Idea Door has lots of ideas & age appropriate lists

Pet Care charts

House Chore pictures

Children’s Clean Room Challenge I’ve used this one – works great!

Run on over to Rocks In My Dryer for some great tips.

Tips I want to remember:

Family Bank

Jams, jellies & curds

Free cute blog headers

Wood saver – water marks

Fried strawberry pies

why God made moms

May 20, 2008 By: amyswandering1 Comment

I got this in an email from my SIL – too cute!!

Why did God make mothers?

1. She’s the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.



How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.



What ingredients are mothers made of ?


1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men’s bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.



Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?


1. We’re related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people’s moms like me.



What kind of little girl was your mom?

1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other
stuff.
2. I don’t know because I wasn’t there, but my guess would
be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.



What did mom need to know about dad before she

married him?

1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?


Why did your mom marry your dad?


1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn’t have her thinking cap on.



Who’s the boss at your house?

1. Mom doesn’t want to be boss, but she has to because dad’s such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.



What’s the difference between moms & dads?


1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power ’cause that’s who you got to ask if you want to

sleep over at your friend’s.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.



What does your mom do in her spare time?


1. Mothers don’t do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.



What would it take to make your mom perfect?


1. On the inside she’s already per fect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know her hair. I’d diet, maybe blue.


If you could change one thing about your mom,

what would it be?

1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I’d get rid of that.
2. I’d make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.
