The kids and I got to meet a neat second-generation homeschooling family this weekend, the Steeges, who have produced a full-length, very professional film called The Runner from Ravenshead.  What a delight!  This fun, family-friendly movie reminded us of Indiana Jones and The Little Rascals, and has a wonderful message in allegory form reminiscent of Pilgrim’s Progress.  See the movie’s trailer here:  http://www.ravensheadmovie.com/trailer.html There’s a great interview with the Joel and Lisa Steege and their children about the movie at Pajama School Blog. My kids loved meeting the stars of Ravenshead — the young and bright homeschooled Steege children — and seeing...

I had to grab my sling this morning and dance around the living room wearing Toddler S…  Who could blame me after watching this fabulous video made by a creative homeschooler, Leigh in New York?  (Warning:  The video has sling-wearing moms imitating Beyonce’s racy dance and clothing from her “Single Ladies” song.) (Note: The video starts quietly, but quickly gets louder.) S and I have been humming the catchy tune all morning.  =O)...
