Vitamin D Council

February 26th, 2009 No comments

A few years back I heard of Vitamin DW’s positive influence on our health. Vitamin D Council offered the only comprehensive information on vitamin D on the web. Our family has been supplementing with vitamin D during winter months with great results.  Since there is more news about vitamin D nowadays with sometime conflicting information I’ve decided to share this resource with you.

Turning Learning Right Side Up

February 25th, 2009 1 comment

I am only on the first chapter but I can already see the wisdom in it.  Although written largely about schools, there is plenty to learn from it for a homeschool parent. I will comment on it as I read through it. By the way, Russell L. AckoffW is a famous American systems thinking pioneer and author of many excellent books I’ve enjoyed reading over the years.

The researchers found that a dose of nature worked as well as a dose of medication to improve concentration, or even better.
