Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 She wanted to go but like you said if they want you'll do it, you never know... Yes homeschooling her now. I got Oakmeadow's curriculum early and we're reading the books, just got it before going away. No bday plans yet, but I will make a party for her, do every year tho it's exhausting.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 You will love Oak Meadow! I brought a lot of Waldorf ideas into our home early on and it's so magical. You've been traveling a lot! Enjoy Australia...have you been able to visit with Ilanit?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi Bee, I would like to ask about using microwaves. I am not a big fan of cooking in microwave ovens, and have been doing a lot less with them over the past 6mos.-a year. However, I would like to know your opinion on them as far as heating up, warming up, heating water, and even warming a plate. I have heard all kinds of stories, and I know they are not good. Thank you, Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
