    This was extremely interesting. You have a great body of work and I'm intrigued with the little books. I see how they're a perfect learning tool while being fun. I might have to make one for myself.

    It is wonderful to know more about you. We considered a China stint for a while and education was a definite issue. You obviously manage the two beautifully, magnificently in fact.
  • BusyMOM Dec 29, 2011 @ 11:08 pm | delete
    Wow! What an incredible body of work! You inspire me.

    I didi try homeschooling for a while, but I ended up sending kids to expensive tutors... Homeschooling is not for everyone, but if you can do it, kids will remember it (perhaps with shudder), and you would remember it. I loved it, whether my kids did or not...

    I wish all these lenses were available some years ago. I wanted to homeschool my kids, but all the resouces I found 20 years ago were very expensive, so they went to public schools. Graduated with high honors all 4. Still, if they would have been HS I believe some situations could have been prevented. At least, for the time my grandkids come around there is a lot of material available, thanks to people like you.

    Phew! I'm exhausted just scrolling through this lens you've packed so much into it! Why haven't we met before now? Amazing lensography.

    What an adventure this was going through this lens. You are a treasure trove of wisdom and extremely organized. Just reading all your lenses will keep me busy for a long, long while. You name Jimmie suits your uniqueness.

    Jimmie, I was just searching for some info about Shakespeare for kids. My daughter (age 8) has been asking about it and, rather than plop my huge complete works copy on her little lap, I wanted to find something she could relate to! I found your Shakespeare for kids lens and was thrilled! I can't wait to explore your other lenses! Thank you for all you do! And I love your name! Also, I run a blog for the purpose of helping myself continue to find interesting stuff for my kids. I'm putting a link to your Shakespeare lens on it and hope that's okay! If not, let me know. It's called, Nuggets of Knowledge (http://nuggetsofknowledge.typepad.com)

    REALLY great lensography, Jimmie! I loved it!

    Wow, so many interesting lenses, I could read all day. I'll bookmark this page for future reference. I love the name Jimmie, it's unique. I know a woman named Bobbie...not Barbara.

    Hi Jimmie & Sprite,
    I LOVE this lens, your writing style.. and your passion for everything! Thanks for sharing the pictures of your family. It's so nice to watch the unfolding adventure that reflects abundant living at YOUR house!

    Hi Jimmie ~ I love the pictures of your family! Thank you for all the lenses that you have created. They are truly my favorite favorites!

    Hey Jimmie--We should have asked YOU to be on the GSOM show the other day. Perhaps when we revisit the topic, you will be available??

    Great lensography!! Well done!!
  • SpellOutloud Aug 25, 2009 @ 6:02 pm | delete
    Ok Jimmie, I have NO idea how you get it all done! You are all over the internet and write such great lenses/articles/lapbooking booklets and still get your homeschooling done! :) Learning so much from you! Thanks for sharing.
  • squidluck Jul 16, 2009 @ 7:00 am | delete
    Oh my God, You are truly gifted like your little girl. I wish i just even a fourth of your talent.
    Very creative..This is absolutely great.

    Great lens - you've been blessed by a squidoo angel :)
  • papawu May 28, 2009 @ 1:06 am | delete
    All I can say is, thank God you have explained exactly what lapbooking is. I was at a loss before seeing this lens. I tried to write my opinion up above about the name Jimmie for a girl, but for some reason it didn't register. I say, I know people who have named their child after a number or a letter, so I'm all for Jimmie for a girl. At least it's an actual name rather than 6 or Z.

    It's so nice to get to know you better, Jimmie. A hearty SquidAngel
    Blessing for you fabulous lens work! :)

    You have such an amazing collection of lenses -I always know who to look to when I need some homeschooling ideas. If you ever want to go to Disney World

    Wow, you have been doing a lot of work creating lenses. This is a
    wonderful collection to see. I'm not sure which one to go see next, I'll
    decide. Glad I seen your post on SquidU about lensography! - I use
    to home school my children and loved it, and I wish you all the best
    with that. - You're little girl looks just like mommy! :)
  • eclecticeducation Mar 12, 2009 @ 5:54 pm | delete
    Hmmmm... it looks like I never commented on this lens. You have so many Ican'td to can't keep track of where I have commented. lol!!! Great lens. I'm going les roll this to my lensography. It's only proper since I used your lensography as my example on how to make one!! :) 5*
  • artgib Feb 24, 2009 @ 9:56 am | delete
    Wow, This sure was fun to read through, Jimmie. Great lenses and interests. I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest supporter of home schools, but you make it harder for me to argue against them.
    Thanks

    This is an inspiring lensography! I am new to all this and I am trying to work hard... inspired by women like you! By the way it was too funny when I read your daughters nickname is "sprite" haha the only thing my daughter drinks is...yep Sprite ;o)maybe I found a new nickname!Your daughter is adorable and I bet she is real proud of her mom! Have a great upcoming Holiday time!

    It is always so nice to meet another homeschool parent! It looks like you have some awesome lenses that I want to check out. It also looks like you have a lot of great links that can be added to my plexo list on my one and only homeschooling lens.

    5 Stars for this lens.
    What a great evolution and how valuable it is to create something to further education and home schooling. You are a natural teacher !
    Very well done.
    Best wishes,

    Hey Lapbooking looks cool, havent heard of that before, its kind of like a physical squidoo lens. Nice job on your lensography!

    Great lensography!!! I enjoyed all the photos and I want to make some grandma lapbooks! Love that concept!
  • ddixonart Sep 8, 2008 @ 10:56 am | delete
    Your lenses are great because they have great niche content and they are always so well organized. Does your daughter have any lenses? I am trying to get my daughters to make some pages. I think it's a great way for a person to organize their thinking (or links, like you did)
  • Natalie Sep 7, 2008 @ 1:05 am | delete
    I NEED to know how to make my lapbook templates. Please help!

    Wow Jimmie, this is fantastic! I am IMPRESSED! I only had 1 child too, but I don't think I could have tackled home-schooling! I had to make the bacon, and then cook it LOL. Very very nice to meet you and your beautiful family :)
  • Adelaide May 27, 2008 @ 8:30 am | delete
    I love your lensography! It's an inspiration and I hope to have one to rival it one day! I've only got 4 lenses so far but I'm working on it! 5* from me!
