Last year for Lil’ Red’s 2nd birthday we had a Dr. Seuss style birthday party. I created some activities for Tot School then, but was not blogging and have not shared them, yet! We go a little theme crazy for birthdays (just ask my hubby!). I spent tons of time searching for ideas online and with the advent of pinterest I can organize my ideas on my Kid’s Party Ideas board!

I may finally be ahead of the game so to speak! I keep saying that I will participate in “Virtual Book Club for Kids” and then forget to see which author is picked for the month! Low and behold I came across the announcement that Dr. Seuss was the next author. The perfect choice since I had planned to share some Tot Trays with Dr. Seuss Style anyways!
Last year for Big Red’s 2nd birthday we had a Dr. Seuss theme. I created some activities for Tot School then, but was not blogging and have not shared them, yet! Plus we have lots of new things to share. This first post will showcase TEN Dr. Seuss Themed Tot Trays!

November 23-We have not had a house phone for quite a few years. We feel that it is time once again to have the convenience of a home phone for faxing. We helped set up our non-techie friends over a year ago with MagicJack Plus and they have had great success.
When I saw the Black Friday deals offered MagicJack Plus at Radio Shack for $20 off I figured it was as good a time as any. I read mixed reviews on Amazon and agreed with many that suggested buying from a store locally for better customer service.
Anxiously waiting for my husband to get off work and come home and hook us up with a phone! Kinda excited to be able to have a house phone again. One that will be able to be used by non-cell phone carrying relatives who come to watch our children. For our children to use to call there friends and not have to wait till the weekends. I know Princess will be glad to call her friend who no longer lives across the street every other day instead of once or twice a week.
I will be adding to this post a review after MagicJack Plus is installed and up and running. Will be calling locally and across the country just to check it out! If I’ve got your number, then I may be giving you a ring!
“So how do you like the Magic Jack plus?”
This got published BEFORE I could add our children’s comments! So far we have not had any major problems with Magic Jack. It is installed using our Brother All-in-One printer/copier/fax machine. We do not own any other working phones in the house that have caller ID or an answering machine. We will need to get a portable phone set with multiple hand sets to try and see if Magic Jack performs well across the house.

Wow! What a delight to be here with all of you. Thanks so much to Thaleia for inviting me to be a guest blogger on this very exciting site.
And, you know, homeschooling during high school is one of my favorite topics, because the opportunity to homeschool my three teenagers was the highlight of our parenting journey!
But before we go there, may I share with you what research shows about homeschooling our kids all the way through high school? During a convention workshop, Dr. Jay Wile talked of a study done by Lawrence Rudner, in which homeschool, private school, and public school students were compared. The first part of the study showed that homeschool students start out ahead of private school students—and keep that slight lead all the way through high school. Private school students are slightly ahead of public school students. . .until eighth grade. At that point, public school students begin to diverge, losing ground rapidly compared to both homeschool and private school students.
