Everyone has a favorite subject and mine happens to be history. Quite simply, it gives me the weepy-glees. My love of literature is almost equal and due mainly to the fact that it illuminates history.
This year I opted for Mystery of History Volume 2 which covers the Early Church to Gutenberg. I have loved it; this is in some part due to the way this curriculum is set up, but mostly because this time period in world history is one of my favorites. I'm thankful Linda Hobar does not focus only on the typical Euro-centric events of this period, but also events and cultures of China, Japan, India, New Zealand, Africa and more.

A Mommy's Guide to the Pukes
There's nothing you can do to prevent it, but there are a few things that can help you survive it.
We've tried hand washing, hand sanitizer, vitamins and, my personal fave, social isolation from January through March. But somehow, the creeping crawling crud still finds its way into my children's guts. For example, this morning.
My baby girl has recovered well from the heaves and is now rolling around the living room floor showing me tricks. But this morning was awful. She was shaking, her heart was racing, and she was throwing up frequently. Which leads me me to my first tip:
1. Write down the "puke" times. This may sound very strange, but it is so helpful. Stomach sicknesses are not as unpredictable as you think. Little C started throwing up 7:30. She threw up again at 8:11, 8:40, 9:12, 9:40 and 10:11. See a pattern? Keeping this information written down, I knew she was throwing up
