Another hip kid! Don't tell anyone I'm so plebian but I LOVE the Harry Potter Series......so fun! Another benefit of living in the real world...unreal summer camps! :) I'm going to email Noah a picture of Zoe at his age dressed as Harry Potter.
Sharon, What a cute Harry Potter! The hair made me laugh!!! I love that she chose Harry and not Herminie! Noah enjoyed the e-mail! He was Harry Potter when he was about 3 years old. I should look for his pictures in our picture box.
Oh I forgot Max's love of reading all began with Harry Potter.. John used to read him a chapter every night and before long he couldn't wait any longer and would read far ahead.. surprised us all as he had a very hard time with learning to read at school...just stimulated his imagination so much... he can hardly put a book down now... always has one on the go.
Very cool! A local organization held a similar event here last summer (google mugglefest, portland maine) and it was extremely crowded but fun. Our entire family dressed for the event--including my husband who went as "a wizard who dresses how he thinks muggles dress". We're geeks. I hope Noah has a blast.
Muggle fest sounds like a blast! I'll have to check it out. Noah loved camp. He can't wait for the next one in Aug. One of the teachers had a sensitive plant that moves when the kids touch it. They thought it was real magic!

Welcome!
Hello!~Aaniin! ~Bonjour!
I'm a homeschooling mom with 3 kids. The two oldest have graduated from homeschool. Our oldest now owns her own Photography business. Our middle son is in college studying
Culinary Arts and the youngest son age 11 is an Interest Led Homeschooler, who loves history! and this is our family's homeschool journal... The Purple Squirrel.
We are an Ojibwe/French family and we love to celebrate our heritage, learning the language, customs and honoring our ancestors.
We travel about our lives on planet Earth and learn from every place, every person and every situation we happen upon. I like to refer to us as Earth Learners.
We read, write, discover, roam the woods, sleep in late, if we feel like it. We cook and do chores. We love to learn about different cultures and our elder brothers (the animals and the plants.) My job as homeschooling mom is to trust. Trust my kids will grow into intelligent, caring, responsible adults.
Fingers crossed! ~
