Black History Month Sale at PBS

By Cheryl Henderson -
Although I still feel it is kind of pitiful to pick one month out of the year to honor Black/Colored/African Americans who have contributed to our country,. I am not against honoring people who have contributed, but I think that we should be able to honor all people who have contributed without this continued racial division, however well meaning.

I mean we don't have Chinese History Month or Italian History Month ... but whatever -- it is what it is.

But I digress. I found out about a wonderful sale that PBS is having in honor of Black History month. Here are the details:

15% Off All History Titles
Offer ends March 2nd

DVDs, CDs, and Books -- Up to 80% Off

Planning for Your Homeschooling Year Couldn’t Be Easier

By Cheryl Henderson -
As some of you know, I am returning to my traditional homeschooling roots this year. I did my experimentation into cyberschooling and found it lacking. But I also live in PA, one of the high documentation homeschooling states (also known as "Big PA in in the neck states") so I've been wondering how I was going to pull a curriculum together to present to the Lords of Education so they'll go away. So, once we made our decision to get away from cyberschools I began looking at different curriculum. I have been looking at complete year curriculum as well as a more eclectic collection of resources. But now I don't have to look any further because I just discovered The Old Schoolhouse 2009-2010 Planner ! First off, let me confess that I have not been the most organized homeschooler. I've purchased programs to keep records on the girls work, I've set up schedules (that I then proceeded to ignore after about a week), and changed my mind a couple of times during the...

Don't you hate when your kids get sick?

By Cheryl Henderson -
You know, I hate when my kids get sick. It's not just because it's yucky and I don't get any sleep for a week. It's mainly because I get tired of people asking me why my children are sick. One day I think I'll create a diagram of the infection. It'll go something like this: J, A and M were sitting in McDonald's playroom (they have a really great one in Stroudsburg). Unknown child 1 wiped her nose with her hand before climbing onto the sliding board while grasping the handholds. Unknown child 2 sneezed without covering his face and the spray took in a radius of up to three feet in 180 degree spread. Unfortunately, my children were caught in the spray. A rubbed her eyes and infected herself that way. J breathed in the flying germs while laughing at her sister's antics. And M got it from his two sisters. I mean, how the heck does anyone get sick? Uh, they are around sick people and, duh, get infected. That's why we all still suffer from the common cold ...

Creating an empowering environment for achieving your goals

Many articles about Goal setting and Visualization stress the importance of keeping your thoughts as positive as possible and to balance up your negative thoughts with positive ones. You know, in today's society a lot of people tend to choose a negative view on things and look for reasons why something wouldn't work. However, keeping your own thoughts and feelings positive amongst this negativity is crucial when you are on a journey to achieve your big goals and dreams. It is these positive feelings of gratitude and anticipating of your dream life that assist you in attracting this dream life to your reality. As you will always have negative/disempowering thoughts now and then, it is important to consciously work on creating positive thoughts as well by using positive visualization, creating a gratitude journal, creating a solid plan of action, etc. A similar principle could be applied to the people around you. Some people can be real "dream stealers" (I am sure you h...
