Interviewed by Green Baby Green Mama

Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by Tonia in Flock

I had the pleasure of chatting recently with Heather, the main mama behind Green Baby Green Mama, about homeschooling.  I was homeschooled grades K-8 by my amazing parents, and it was a great experience for me.

I love talking about the good old homeschool days, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask!  I’m honored that Heather interviewed me for her blog.  Check it out here!

    Such good memories! I remember Ellis Island day well… and how when you guys went through the drive-through for lunch at McDonalds (dressed in turn-of-the-century peasant-wear), the woman kindly offered you food stamps, thinking you must live in a hovel somewhere… Ah, the good times we had!

    For home educators, students and researchers: I have put one of the most comprehensive link lists for hundreds of thousands of statistical sources and indicators (economics, demographics, health etc.) on my blog: Statistics Reference List. And what I find most fascinating is how data can be visualised nowadays with the graphical computing power of modern PCs, as in many of the dozens of examples in these Data Visualisation References. If you miss anything that I might be able to find for you or if you yourself want to share a resource, please leave a comment.

    Sad to say I’ve never given much thought to home schooling– but you’ve definitely opened my eyes! The food stamps story, that’s HILARIOUS.

    I’m kind of in love with your little brother’s adorable knit sweater. And that vest with all the little food pictures on it, I kind of want to wear it to all my meetings tomorrow.

    Hi Arlyss! Thanks for stopping by! Aren’t those old photos great? That immigration unit we did is one of my favorite memories from the homeschool days. Thanks for playing the part of our Swedish grandmother so well…..you must know a thing or two about that. ;)
