ATTN: New Englanders (and Eastern Canadians...)

Hey, my kids LOVE the dried maple syrup on our jugs of Real Maple Syrup, so I want to get some Maple Syrup Candy for Stocking Stuffers.  I could do an internet search and find some, and I will if....
but, I would prefer to buy from a small family farm instead of a large internet company.  so if you or a friend knows about one such, would you please let me know.  THANKS!

in other news, we added a small geography lesson to our school day, and a science experiment as well.  so, we spend about 15-20 minutes on reading, and pre-reading, skills; 10 on US geography, talking about states; and 10 minutes doing the first science experiment in my son's birthday book: Exploratopia: More than 400 Kid-Friendly Experiments and Explorations for Curious Minds
I have one turkey carcass for brothing today... I am hoping to claim the two later this week from my family's HUGE thanksgiving.  last year, I begged the carcasses from my neighbors, and made 40-odd bottled quarts of broth.  I still have 8... I use it everywhere chicken broth is called for.  I do not think I will get so much this year.  sad days.  oh well.... I have been saving my carrot and celery and onion scraps for this, and I will use those today.

have a great day!

Lol. I take many ideas from this site:
http://www.raisinggodlytomatoes.com/
I have really, really benifited from it, although there does seem to be "gaps" in the info. The site advocates teaching your child to close their mouth when crying but I can't figure out where it explains how. :(
I don't keep Samuel constantly under my watchful gaze, but I do keep him in earshot/sight all the time. It also says that until your kids are 3yo (I think?) correct/instruct *as* they reach for something, not *after*, as it's easier for a little one to make the connection. This has been one of the most valuable tools I've used in working with Samuel. :)
Wow, I wish I lived closer, I would bring you turkey carcasses! ;)

I enjoyed reading about your homeschooling day with your children. I cant wait to move into my new home so we can do other activities as well. Sounds like you have been really busy with making soup etc,etc... great effort.
have a great day
