		<title>Where’d You Learn That?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I like about homeschooling is that my kids still learn so much completely on their own.  I really love it when they teach me things, which happens at an alarming rate around here.
I just had to share this conversation I had with Victoria a few minutes ago.
Victoria:  Ooh!  Is that henna?  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter blues and shifting sands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a funny old month, November. I&#8217;ve been realising slowly how badly winter affects me. I think I have a form of SAD because I can feel myself slipping into sadness and feelings of inadequacy as the days shorten and the weather gets colder. For some reason this november has been decidedly worse than [...]]]></description>

The Wicked Wicked Ladies in the Haunted House by Mary Chase, was Carbon&#8217;s Halloween pick.  It would be fine the rest of the year also, [...]]]></description>

		<title>My exercise goals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To help myself sort through some of the issues with this yoga thing, I thought I&#8217;d think out loud a bit about exercise in my life.
As regular readers will know, I&#8217;ve more or less given up on goals. I don&#8217;t find them helpful. Goals keep you focused on the future rather than the present. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little Sponges: How to Accidentally Homeschool Your Two Year Old</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to tempt Athena out of semi-permanent residence in Ancient Egypt and on to further Ancient History exploration, I began reading Mary Pope Osborne&#8217;s retelling of The Odyssey at bedtime a few weeks ago to the entire Triad of Chaos.  I must confess I did shamelessly use my maternal influence.  I got Athena hooked on the story [...]]]></description>

		<title>World AIDS Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[December 1st is the day that, as a family, we jump into holiday celebrations.  We make decorations, and countdown chains, break out the holiday books, movies and music.
It&#8217;s also important, though, to stop and remember.

		<title>Simple gifts</title>

I got this idea from Chelita at Shady Bayou Academy.  It was a little hard finding green leaves at the end of November in northern Virginia!  I picked two of each type of leaf I found.  Then I laminated them.  Laminating leaves is odd.
