Two weeks ago on the Virtual Fridge I shared that we had begun drawing tangles.  I also shared that we had found some FREE online resources.

I continued looking for a book and discovered The Joy of Zentangle.  In this book you will find out what Zentangle is and what it is not, some of the uses,  basics, resources followed by step by step instructions on how to draw 101 tangles. 

If you or anyone you know is keen to learn how to tangle this is an excellent beginners resource.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

The 100th Edition {HSMJ}

In my life this week…

Wow I can't believe that I have been writing these for a while now.  This is my 100th edition of the HSMJ (Home School Mother's Journal)

I wrote my very first Home School Mother's Journal on the 18 November 2011. Way back then it was hosted by The Homeschool Chick. She sells Homeschool Mother's clothing etc. One day I would really really love to own a I Homeschool! What's your Superpower t-shirt.

From there it was then hosted over at iHomeschool Network.  Last year it moved to So You Call Yourself a Homeschooler and has since been renamed Managing Your Blessings. If you're a homeschool blogger and do a weekly diary I encourage you to link up and share your journey.

I discovered that my most viewed edition was titled HSMJ Being sick is no fun ...  followed closely by HSMJ - Having to Eat My Words.

It's been fun looking over my journey and seeing the things that Sir N and I get up to each week.

In our home school this week…

• We completed a still life drawing.  I'm so very proud of Sir N's work well done.
• Started off our journey with Veitas self paced history.  So far I am very impressed. Sir N likes it too. You can view samples on my instagram.
• This week we started reading Ludwig Beethoven and the Chiming Tower Bells  and listened to by Beethoven Lives Upstairs by Classical Kids. I have found some wonderful YouTube clips on his life too.  Tonight we watched Beethoven Lives Upstairs
• We have also been exploring the country side and taking photographs.
• We started doing math facts with Calculadder too.  
•  

Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…

• If you are looking for a book to help with art appreciation be sure to check out A Year in Art {A Painting a Day}
  
• UberSmart Math Facts has FREE Printable Addition Fact Worksheets available in PDF or Word document format.
• Is it time to bring the Carnival of Homeschooling to an end? 

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…

• It's been a quiet week we have stayed home much of the time.

My favourite thing this week was…

• Was watching Sir N discover the pleasures of accomplishing his first loom band bracelet.

Things I’m working on…

• This week I shared about The Logic of English.  If you are reading this post via email please be sure to read the full review online as the complete review did not mail out earlier this week. I am very impressed with this curriculum. 
  

In Bloggy world I’m reading…

• Meet the 'Brainy Bunch,' family with 7 kids in college by age 12
• This 16-Year-Old Student Shows What Fashion Was Like In Every Decade From The 1920s.
• Wow amazingly determined young lady Dreyfoos graduate works her way back after what should have been a fatal accident
• Mother Forced To Have Cesarean Section, And Now She’s Suing
• 50 romantic photographs
• This photo essay is really interesting.  This lady wondered whether tears for different things differed under the microscope.  The Topography of Tears
• It always amazes me how creative some people are.  Meet Dangerdust and see what they can do with chalk.  Amazing.
• Shocking and sad Christian Pregnant Mother in Sudan Sentenced to Death, 100 Lashes on Mother's Day
