Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE! This is a $219 program (and believe me it's worth every penny!) and the winner gets to pick from any of these 14 languages: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), English (American or British), Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Hebrew, or Russian. This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking. Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included! For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports.

Well, my son finally got the chickens he's been wanting! We bought 8 New Hampshire Reds yesterday and he's loving it so far (of course, it's only been 1 day!)
He wants a lot more than 8 (like 75!...I don't think so!), but that's all that the feed store had. They told us they can order more for us but I figured we better start small. After only 1 day, my son's already learned that they are messy animals! He's had to clean the crate that they're in 3 times already. It's still chilly here, so we're keeping them in our laundry room. Well we're also keeping them inside because we have 8 cats and no chicken coop yet. I might be a Yankee, but I do know that cats & chickens wouldn't mix well! My hubby will be making the coop as soon as we get our tax return.
Do any of you have a lot a chickens? I'm wondering how many I should let him have. He wants to raise them to sell their eggs (after I get my 1-2 dozen a week, that is!). How many eggs do you get, on average, from each chicken?
Still clueless...

Goats. I talked to hubby and he seems to think that goats would be the best option to start out with. I don't know if he's asked around or just has a "hunch" but I'm hoping he's right. I do like the idea of eventually having raw goat milk available, but at the same time I'm a little nervous about it. I guess I need to read up on goats so I at least have a clue when the time comes. As always, I welcome advice!
