So I've been slightly, no, extremely, obsessed with finding ways to teach Taylor. I spend all my time thinking about it and researching. Not neccessarily doing anything yet, but it's in the works. My friend Jess mentioned this one website(Chasing Cheerios) to me and I went crazy! There are some VERY creative women out there, and my poor kids got stuck with me. But lucky for them, I can copy what I see really well, so there may be hope after all. Here are some of my favorite sites right now. Most of them homeschool or use the Montessori Method, which really impresses me.

I think that's a good start...
***Also, Crystal Ellis, (and anyone else) if you even look at my blog, take a look at this one: http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ This lady has a new crockpot recipe for everyday of the year. I thought about you when I found this one. I rememeber when our ward cookbook was coming out and you wanted everyone's crockpot recipes... try these, they look good!

They look like some great webpages. I was looking at the crayon rocks. My mom use to make us these crayon things in the microwave. She would take a bunch of crayons ( I think the more waxy ones) and put them in a paper cupcake holder thing and melt them in the microwave so they were one big chunk. I think I will make some, after looking at those makes me think Lucy will love one, it wont break and there is no paper to tear off.
I did crayon rocks the other day. My kids thought it was really fun and now my husband has some new paperweights for his desk. If you try it, be careful because the rocks get REALLY hot!
