My idea of a perfect day is when everything goes super awesome, with no frustrations, work is completed, and everyone is happy and obedient. 

4. Do you use a curriculum and if so which one ?

I use a lot of different curriculum but mostly Christian Light Education and Rod and Staff. We also use Mystery of History, and History of the World.  I also like to use things that I make or find online as well.

5. How do you do it all and find time to blog ?

One thing at a time.  We also don’t go out much. 

6. What are your top three traits in a friend ?

Friendliness

Honesty

Availability

Yes, http://pinterest.com/mrsadept/

I keep a lot of different stuff there.  Everything from school topics to cooking and stairs.

8. What are the top five home school / school blogs you visit ? (please link to them)

1. Jeanne

2. Chareen

3. Narelle
4. Jessica
5. April

I have a list of homeschooling blogs on my wall - and when I see that someone has updated I pop over for a quick read.  I also try to get to as many teachers blogs that I can too.

9. Do you join in link up parties ?  If so which ones ?

Yes.  I look for ones that are easy and quick to do as a general rule.

I've tried the:  The Homeschool Mothers Journal
I've done quite a few in the past at:  Preschool Corner

and of course:  Random Teacher Blog link ups

10. Do you use Notebook pages ?  If so where do you access yours from ?

Yes.  We notebook ALL of our History.  I also want to use notebooking for other things like character and nature study.  As a general rule I make all the pages that we use.  I get ideas from others though. 

11. Do you do Nature Journaling ? If so have you blogged about your methods ?

We have tried and started, but this is one area I really fall down on.  This is because I am NOT an outdoor person and find it so hard to go outside and REMAIN outdoors.  I really like the idea of it all, but yeah, remaining outside is a bit of a problem for me.
