I picked up the full literature library (Reading Series 1 & 2) at my local homeschool consignment place for a good price, and was wondering if I need to buy the extra "teacher" materials online for my 1st grader. Sounds like I don't need to.

I desperately want to get actual Flyleaf books to them and am seeking used Flyleaf books I can afford. Any suggestions?

I like the idea of letting baby dictate for the first three months, as he/she adjusts to life outside the womb, and then helping him/her to learn to sleep afterwards (and reaping the benefits oneself). Many thanks for your blog--the time, love, wisdom put into it.

Is it any wonder that a mama of five...Hi Kimberly! Is it any wonder that a mama of five - soon to be six! - is out of energy?!?! I think fatigue is one of the great sacrifices of parenting - it's not fun but it's a fairly typical cross for mothers. I know what you mean, though, about wanting better night-time sleep :) We pretty much allow our babies to dictate their sleep/feeding schedule until about 3 months old. I'll nurse throughout the night if that's what a newborn wants, but once they hit three months, mama needs to reclaim her bed and energy, and so we start to be more intentional with encouraging/teaching nighttime sleep. Honestly though, we have had SO much success with the sleep "training" method in the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Dr. Marc Weissbluth, three of our children were sleeping 7+ hours through the night in their own bed (not in our room) by 4 months. Both of my daughters never even cried themselves to sleep (literally!) because they "learned" to go to sleep and stay asleep (again, following the method in the Weissbluth book.) My sons we did have to let them cry, but my oldest cried for three nights and then never cried or woke up overnight again. We also follow Dr. Weissbluth's recommendations on napping. My husband and I will both admit we make a lot of mistakes in parenting, but we're both very happy with the decision to make healthy sleep a priority for our children and for ourselves. I HIGHLY recommend the book and could go on and on about how great I think it is! But I'll spare you (!) and leave you with the amazon link! Best wishes to you, Kimberly, as you await your newest little one!

I was just looking for something to jump into after 100 Easy Lessons and Bob Books! My question, though, actually doesn't refer to this post, but a previous one--about how each mom is doing the best she can, even if making different decisions from her 'neighbor', Catholic or not! I have a question about sleep training. Baby #6 is due in March, thanks be to God!, and I'm really looking for a different sleeping situation. After co-sleeping with the five previous babies, and not having any sleep in 11 years, and waiting until around 3 years old to have a normal sleeper/schedule, I'm just OUT OF ENERGY. Will you let me know, briefly, when you begin sleep training and how? Because on most of the other points, you and I would agree to take a gentle but firm approach, based on what's good for mommy, family, baby, so I trust your advice.
