Nature is good for the soul. Indeed! This post brought to mind what dd and I had recently read in Charlotte Mason's Volume 4, and wouldn't you know, Joy has quoted just what I was thinking!
Blog planner. Like I need any more planners. Of any sort. I'm liking my BuJo (bullet journal) very much but still like to look at these planners. I've used Mama Jenn's planners before and they do help me when I use them. They are nice because you print out what you need and don't have to worry about all the pages that you don't need.
A link up pertaining to nourishing the mind and soul. I'm such a skimmer though that I have to bookmark this and be sure to read it in its entirety. (Wouldn't you know- Joy's post is linked here!) A new blog to follow also :)
Obama proposes free community college. I just cannot see how this is a good thing. "So how will this be funded? President Obama proposes that the federal government fund three-quarters of the average cost of community college while participating states contribute the remaining balance for eligible students." Granted it will be huge savings for college students but where they save in their education they will be paying for, literally and figuratively, in other areas. And this: "According to the White House blog, by 2020, 35% of job openings will require a bachelor’s degree while 30% will require at least an associate’s degree." The mandating of college degrees is uncalled for; many professions that require the degree, skills necessary are learned on the job anyway.
Trying to pin all the blogs I follow in one place is becoming increasingly confusing. I follow blogger blogs, wordpress blogs, and even some that are on their own platform (Big Marker? Weebly?). I don't know where to put them all so I can see them in an orderly manner. Anyway, while I was searching through blogs, came across this Blogging 2 Learn blog that has some tips/tricks for blogging. Putting it here so I can find it again.
And pertaining to keeping blogs in one place: Feedly. I was directed there and have created a category for the blogs I want to follow. Super easy. Well, it wasn't so super easy to add them all but super easy to find and read them now.
We are in 'need' of a good dictionary at home, and a thesaurus as well. Someone recommended I have a look at the differences of prescriptivist and descriptivist dictionaries. Quite interesting, and now I'm not entirely sure which kind of dictionary to add to our shelves. Actually, I think I'll look for both. But if I am understanding it right, there really is only one kind now: Descriptivist. Of course, there's always dictionaries online, but I want a physical copy.
