I think that sounds like a great FREE resource for parents that want the ability to be more in charge of thier child's learning at home. But really benificial to someone like me who would be too chicken to really be in charge of what they are learning. My biggest fear about homeschooling is that I would screw it up somehow

This seams like it would take the guess work out of the basics. If you wanted to supplement more you would have the freedom to do so, but you could be confident that the core basics are being covered.

I'm actually curious about this too. I have done it a few times  

It is my understanding that if it is being used for educational purposes and not for monetary gain, it's ok. But I could be way off. Do points here on LR count as a gain??

I want to expose my little guy to the different ways words can be presented. So, this is just a start...

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I'm still on the look out for more pictures to go along with these concepts. There is a Spatial Concepts 1 also if you didn't see it...

Oh you poor thing! I hate it when doctors throw stuff at us like we're always supposed to know what they mean.

I agree with what patience said. I believe it just means that if you are very low on iron it increases your need for a blood transfusion because of the amount of blood that can be lost during childbirth. I was very low in my last pregnancy, but everything went smoothly.

She's so over the hill!

Maybe you could just add in one new presentation at a time while still showing her her favorites. Maybe she will fall in love with the new and not be too upset about losing an old one. Or not notice it as much.

I know how much they love thier favorites and get attached to them!

What is your child's favorite LR set? You know, the one you have to play every time you get on LR and probably a few more time before you stop.

My little guys loves any set with animals and thier sounds. He gets quite a kick out of hearing the animal noises.

But, his all time favorite is Pirate Song by Ed. I don't know why but he just loves this! Every time it plays he laughs and starts dancing. When it is done he always says and signs for more.

That is so cool! I couldn't even paint like that.

It's amazing how you can just tell he totally knows where to put his little dots in order to make the picture into what he wants. Amazing!

The same company that I linked to in the first post also sells a moms vitamin called Supermom. I might give that a try also.

Has anyone tried the vitamins and fish supplements by Dr. Sears?

I googled the patrick holford range vitamins and they look great, but they do not seem to readily available in the US.

I think it is said that the middle backseat is the safest. However, if you have multiple children you really don't have a choice but to put someone on the side.

I have a mini van that has two bucket seats on the sides. It would be too dificult to put a car seat in the third row seat. Because like nhockaday said, you would literally have to crawl all the way in to reach baby.

I personally like my smallest one to be behind the passenger seat. That way when I am the driver I can easily peek over my shoulder to look at him and he can see me too.

OOhh, I hadn't thought of that! That is a great idea! Off to make videos...  

I haven't looked through this whole site but from what I did see, it looks great. All the downloads are free!

I don't know a whole lot about the Montessori method so hopefully this will be helpful to you. I'm sure you could also find other materials that would be useful in everyday stores. I know with this method it is good to allow your child to do things for themselves at the earliest time. So getting things that are on a smaller scale for them to use is great. Like a small broom or a plastic pitcher for pouring thier own drink or a stool to make it easier for them to stand at the counter to help you cook or wash dishes.

Do you give your child or children multivitamins? If you do which one and why? I have been on a search for something for my kids. They range in age from 1 to 11.

I've been looking at this one, Superkids, by Beeyoutiful, but it only comes in a liquid. This is good for my one year old, but may not go over so well with the older ones

I also might try the Tummy Tune up since my youngest tends to have poop issues.

Their products have good reviews, but I would like to see if there are any better options. Anything you guys would recommend?

You might also check out your local library. I know ours has a few of the series 2 videos in stock. That way you could check it out before you commit to buy. I do this all the time. It's a great way to save money by not buying videos that you end up not even liking!

I agree with teaching your child not to go with anyone, regardless if they are strangers or not, unless mom or dad says it is ok. It is unfortunate that we live in a time when even those we think we know, may turn out to be a danger to our babies. I insist on knowing where my kids are at all times. I hate to be over-protective, but feel I have no choice these days.
