- It was good to meet you at Pat's too. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to chat longer! I think I remember you from before I moved here and I joined a couple Charlotte lists, to find out what's going on around here. I think it was you?! Well, this person was so welcoming I was hoping I would meet them in person! ;-) There were actually several of you nice folks on those lists! Anyway, I am sorry to have to miss the fondue party! ugh! I have to take my teen to a horse thing in Concord. If something happens and I can get back to Weddington before 4, I will be sure to crash the party, LOL!

- Karen, we plan to see you at your seminar. Our daughter began with a Montessri education when she was 2 1/2. She is now 5 and in public school (yuck) I won't get started on that. But I am interested inhomeschooling. My husband is more apprehensive and not on board thus far. But, i wanted to know what type of homeschooling may be good for Annika. We do not have a lot of money to invest on materials etc.

- Yes. We'd love for you to join us. It is 2-4pm, this Thursday. I posted in Events (menu tab at top of page) and started a thread in "Playgroups and Gatherings". http://xploringholisticalternatives.ning.com/events/holistic-playdate

Profile Information
- What does "holistic" mean to you?
- It means understanding that one part of life affects another and one part of the body affects another and we can't always separate everything into itty bitty parts.
- How long have you been interested in holistic living?
- Since my children were born although I didn't think of it that way. But that was when I became more interested in healthier eating, breastfeeding, etc.
- a little about me
- I am a homeschool mom. That pretty much defines my current life. I am kind of spastically holistic, being very interested in some things and not at all in others and I will try to stay out of trouble on here.
- What professional or business affiliations do you offer?
- I am a Juiceplus distributor. I am not currently building a business though.

Bird Feeding Research Project
This came from a friend. It mentions God’s creation but I think the project is secular, so use it how it suits your family. It does indeed have a link for homeschoolers and it also mentions doing this as group projects potentially. I think anyone can participate as well, not just homeschoolers.
