Spring flings out of cabin fever

It's getting warm outside. The sun is shining more, the birds are singing, the flowers are coming up out of the ground. Time to take your homeschooler out for walks. Time to nature walk. Get a bird book. Each state has one. Barnes and Nobles has them. Not real cheap though. Usually you can find one cheaper through the Amazon link on Applemama. Get a book to help you identify flowers too. Lots of homeschool science curriculums have that included in your studies. In Sonlight Curriculum 3rd grade Science has them learning all about plants and animals. Great stuff.

I've been so ready for this nicer weather. Here in PA we've had a pretty bad winter. Although not as bad as others I've heard. We acquired another rabbit and duck today. Owning animals is a great opportunity to build your child's character in so many ways. They learn to care about another life other than their own and also learn to manage responsibilities.

Feel blessed and free that you have the right to homeschool. Germany and Sweden are fighting for their rights. They are being imprisoned for do so. We may have to answer to the public school system, we may have the ability to just write a letter of our intention to homeschool under religious exemption, but either way, we have the freedom to do so. There are no laws that say we cannot homeschool our children. I know Virginia is reviewing their laws of religious exemption. Pennsylvania is deliberating their laws on the same, but nothing is iron-clad that we can't claim it.

Call it a blessing to be able to homeschool. Our children are our legacies and we must do our best by them. If the public school system is not meeting the needs of your child then you have that option to homeschool. I know quite a few people who have wonderfully intelligent children who just aren't learning to their full potential in the public school. The public schools can only do but so much with the multiple learning styles they have in children. And not every teacher can cater to every learning style. A teacher is as good as their imagination. And who knows your child better than you do?

Hello!

Applemama is back. But with a whole new look. Please check out www.applemama.ws and see all the new fun changes. You can even have it as your homepage because anything you need is right there. This website has turned back into my blog. Which was the point originally, but we found a way to monetize the blog even more and now we're expanding that using Global Domains International web builder. It's easy as can be. I love it. I thought it would be frustrating and complicated and it's not. It's even quick.

I just got a call. My sister-in-law's grandmother just died last night. I'm so sad for her. She had visions of grandeur with her coming over here from Kyrgyzstan. Them cooking together and having walks and talks like they used to, but Grandma only came here sick and fragile. She never wanted to leave the house and eventually never leave the room then the bed and then in the last 2 weeks she's refused to eat and then to drink. We all new she was failing, but it was sad she had to go in such a short time of coming here.

Technically she was here illegally. Her VISA expired sometime ago, but they could never have sent her back. She would have died along the way. So she's been here and my sister did get to enjoy her a bit. She's been in the process of getting her sister and niece over here. Sure would like it if she could do that. They're her last living relatives.

Well hopefully Grandma is in a better place now. I sure wish I could have met her at least once.
We're off on our weekly endeavors. Later all

Applemama .ws is now easier to navigate

The Holiday season is wrapping up. We're winding down our visits to family and friends. Under the tree is stark bare from all the wonder we added to our homes and stomachs.

But many more occasions arrive to make purchases and Applemama.ws has what you need.

Now easier to navigate than ever; I have created extensions to make the site not so cluttered. All the wonderful retailers are still available. Now you are forwarded to Applemama's extension for more retailers.

I have also maximized the use of my husbands site. He has created Diverse Income, a website with the online businessperson in mind. He has many free opportunities to further your online business as well as inexpensive ways to start up your own.

I hope you find this easier and please feel free to let me know what you think. Have a happy new year.

Work from Home start

I have a business I am growing. I received a call from a company called Global Cash Flow Network. They set you up with a website and you can create your own stores. I have named a few Good For You stores. I feature many different items. From kitchenware and toys, to gaming products and clothing. There is much more than that, but there's just too much to mention. I get to be affiliates with Amazon and Walmart. I'm also applying to be affiliates with many more companies. You get commissions when you put their banners on your website and people buy through them. I get to have a Google Adsense account and I'm in the process of multiplying my affiliate connections. I eventually will have a new domain name of Applemama.biz, but not as of now. Applemama is what I have named my business. It is all family-friendly items. You won't find anything you shouldn't have for your children or yourself. I even have put on a few homeschooling products. I am really excited about having a business I can manage from my home. Being that I homeschool I needed someway to supplement our income. I enjoy the endeavor my husband and I have taken on. Yes, of course, my husband helps me with a lot of the logistics because he wants me to succeed. His support has been priceless. There's also another feature to the GCFN business. It's a recruiting job. Where others can sign up for the GCFNetwork as well and you get a bonus for that.
