Just stopping by from the UBP…
I’ve seen that Oreo cookie activity around on different blogs and I know it’s something my boys would enjoy doing. I’ll have to add Oreos to my shopping list. 🙂
Thanks for hopping over here. My kids loved doing the Oreo Moon Phases activity at a science day when they were in school. It was one of my first activities to share on my blog last year. Have fun!
What a cute blog! Love it.
Thanks, Alyssa. Appreciate you stopping by. I’ll be hopping to your blog & others later today
Stopping by from UBP 13 and I enjoyed my visit.
Fondly,

ps. We share a lot of the same passions. Wish we were neighbors.
Glad you stopped by. I’ll be hopping to your blog & others later this afternoon. Can’t wait to see your blog and see how we are similar.
Hey kerry beck – it’s kelli becton @AdventurezinChildRearing
Thanks for the chance to win!
Hey Kelli,
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are doing well.
Hello from a fellow homeschooler! I’m excited to have found your blog! Stopping in from the UBP, but will be coming back! 🙂
Glad you found us too. I’m excited to check out some of the blogs, including yours, tonight. Now I have to finish an ezine & checking email…ugh! Would rather be blog hopping. Thanks for stopping by. Talk soon.
Pls let me know if there are any topics you’d like us to cover.
Popping in from the blog party! I have followed and admired your site for some time now. Love your ‘Everything You Want To Know About Homeschooling’ book 🙂
Thanks for your kind words. I was just on your site, too. Love your resources…
Kerry! I just realized how I “know” you! We follow each other on Twitter, and maybe Facebook too I think (?) AND I think I found you last year through the UBP. 🙂 So anyway, I’m Dawn, 15 year homeschool mom and I think you already know who I am. Maybe.? LOL Anyway I’m dropping by from the UBP!
Thanks for stopping by. I thought you might come to the #hsbloggers chat on Tuesday afternoons…or I did meet you at UBP last yr.
Stopping by from the UBP! I’m your newest follower on FB and twitter- We’re homeschoolers too and I love to hear how other people “do school”
Have a great day!
Wow! Gifts and party favors! I’m glad I stopped by this site on the UBP hop! I look forward to checking out your oreo phases of the moon– what a fun way to learn! Thanks for stopping by ready-set-read. Good to connect.
You’re so welcome… It is good to connect, too. My kids loved the Oreo Phases of the Moon project, too
Even though I’m already a fan of your site (and you!), I learned a few new things from this Ultimate Blog Party post…I have pinned the plant experiment as one of my sons has been asking to do something similar and this will make things so much easier for me! Love the gorilla mask pictures!
I’ll tell my husband I got a comment about the gorilla mask. He’s at a chili cook-off this weekend and using the gorilla suit for the showmanship award. He’ll be playing his guitar in the gorilla suit. I hope it doesn’t get too hot in west Texas. Thanks for stopping by and your sons will love the plant experiment. It’s so EASY
Hi Kerry,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I have enjoyed your and Steve’s teaching for a long time.
I have just started learning digital scrapbooking too! I haven’t fully converted from paper (I just love all things paper too much), but it’s so fun!
I would love to talk to you about working with me on a project I have going. I’ll drop you an email!

@Pink Paper Peppermints
I know what you mean about moving from paper to digital scrapbooking. Paper & fabric are two things I like to “feel”. Paper is definitely fun, but digital allows me to make multiple copies & pass them out to my kids. I look forward to your email
So excited to have found your blog through the UBP13 as a new homeschooling mom!!
Thanks for stopping by from UBP. If you come across a question as a new homeschooler, let me know. I’d love to answer it in a post.
Stopping by from UBP13 to check out your blog. I am loving your site!!! perfect timing for you to come my way. We have been doing preschool work for sometime now and have just decided to commit to homeschool. I can’t wait to check out all the wonderful information you have to offer such a newbie as myself. Ashley @ Papertothread
Thanks for your encouraging words. Let me know if there is a topic you’d like us to cover or questions we can answer.
Thanks for stopping by my blog on UBP! I thought I would check out your Oreo Phases of the Moon and… well, my son would LOVE that (so would I because I love oreos, esp the double stuffed!). You have a new member, I can’t wait to read more!
Carrie,

Thanks for stopping by my blog via the UBP! I look forward to perusing your blog some more – I plan to do some astronomy with my older two kids as it gets nicer out, and I know they’d love the Oreo/moon activity!
Hi, I found you through UBP13. I’m kind of a newb to blogging, but I’m loving it so far. I’m an educator, former foster parent (for kids with emotional, physical, and mental disabilities) and adoptive dad of two kiddos with special needs. It’s been great reaching out, talking to, and hopefully helping other families! My whole blog is all about learning to learn and helping families succeed using brain-based practices. Come check it out. I think you will like it!
Angel,
thanks for stopping by. I’ll be taking a look at your site to see what I can share with my readers
Stopping by (late) from the UBP13. Thought I would say Hi and will follow-we homeschool too. 🙂 We’ve done your Star of Bethlehem study too. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. So cool that you did the Star study. Pls let me know how I can help you or what topics we can address
