Welcome to the 15th edition of the Canadian Home Eudcators Blog Carnival. Once again I apologize for being late posting. I debated posting at all this week but I couldn't get away from the idea that I needed to, even if I am a day late. :) We have an even shorter trip this week than last. Our only invitations to visit this week came from Rosina in British Columbia and she has three things, on three different blogs she maintains, for us to check out. Here's what she has to say:
"First on the British Columbia HSN blog I've posted a link to a ton of maps for studying Canada and with the new school season approaching super quickly I thought this might be of interest to some :) There are blank maps for each province and territory, or you can get them with capital cities, rivers, lakes, full maps of Canada, some in color, others in black and white and more. You can view the entry at:
http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/BritishColumbia/566223/
On my Homeschool blog I've shared a recipe for making Tabbouleh with Quinoa which is an ancient grain and super healthy. This is a really great refreshing summer salad and the kids loved it :) You can view the entry at:
http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/BChsMamaof3/566157
And last but not least on my nature blog we shared about making painted flower prints :) With all of the great flowers and leaves out right now it's a perfect time to do this craft. You can even sneak in a little color mixing lesson with it *grin*. You can view the entry at:
http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/NatureNotesFromAbove/566486".
Thanks, Rosina, for inviting us to visit. You always share the most interesting things.
I know that everyone is busy these days and that probably accounts for how slow things have been. I know I've been busy myself and I haven't blogged on my personal blog for a long time. Hopefully things will pick up soon. In the meantime I am thinking of possible ways to help make things better and I may post about it in the near future. I'm always open to suggestions so please either write them in the comments or send me an email.
If all goes well the next edition of the carnival will be posted August 5. Please get your submissions in before then.
Hopefully I'll hear from a bunch of you soon.

14th Edition
Welcome to the 14th edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival. Sorry I'm a little late posting. Yesterday was DH's birthday and I was busy all day arranging a surprise party for him and I spent today cleaning up and recovering from all the hard work. :) I think everybody must be out and about enjoying their summer, rather than spending time on their computers. I know I've been too busy to go searching out submissions. We only have two invitations to visit to this time around, way over in the western provinces. Let's get started!
First we'll drop in with Rosina in British Columbia as she tell us about her recent close encounters with bears and shows us her version of Bear Bangers ... Nice but not manditory :). She always has the most interesting things happening at her place!
Next in Alberta we'll pop in on Lori as she expounds the praises of Bravewriter Blog ... again. This is a homeschool help that she's really found helpful and she encourages everyone to check it out.
And that's it for this trip! A short, but sweet trip. :)
If all goes well, and if any submissions come in, the next edition of the carnival will be posted one week from today, on July 29th. Hope to hear from a bunch of you before then.

13th Edition!
If you would like to read this blog in French, or any other language, simply pick the language of your choice in the drop down menu of the google translate tool in the sidebar and it will be translated into the language you chose.
Si vous souhaitez lire ce blog en français, ou dans toute autre langue, il suffit de sélectionner la langue de votre choix dans le menu déroulant de l'outil de traduction google dans la barre latérale et il sera traduit dans la langue que vous avez choisi.
Welcome to the 13th Edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival! Once again I was wondering if there was going to be a carnival this week as the submissions were slow coming in, but we do have some inviations to visit so let's get started!
We'll start this trip in Bristish Columbia and drop in for a visit with Rosina as she tells us about the stepping stones she and her children made for the Unplugged Project - Stone.
Unfortunately we didn't get any invitations to visit in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba this time around so we'll pass quickly over them into the next province.
In Ontario we'll pop in for a first time visit with Renee as tells us about A Summer Photo Challenge. She's challenging us to carry our camera with us and snap pictures of "scenes from a summer's day" for the months of July and August and share them on our blog. If you like snapping pictures, check out her blog for details!
Still no invitations to visit in Quebec so we'll skip over that province.
In New Brunswick a last minute invitation came in to drop in and visit with Andrea as she shares about Emma at 7.5 - Learning Notes. While we're there she also invites us to check out Emma's update By Emma.
No invitations to visit in Prince Edward Island this time around so we'll quickly pass it by and move into the next province.
In Nova Scotia we'll drop in on Dawn as she tells us about One Simple Activity, Lots of Rewards,including lots of discusion, the pride of making something with your own hands, and making a difference in someone's world.
Next we're off to Newfoundland and Labrador for our last visit on this trip. We'll pop in and visit with Linda as she exclaims "The Whales are Here!".
And that ends the 12th edition of the Canadian Homeschooling Blog Carnival. Thank you to those of you that invited us to visit. Also, thank you to those of you that came along for the trip. Be sure to take a minute to let the hosts know that you visited and that you appreciated the invitation.
If all goes well, and if I get submissions for it, the next edition of the Carnival will be posted on July 22. I will not be posting a separate call with a suggested topic this time. Simply send in any post you like, new or old. Please try to get your submissions in as soon as possible before the 21st of July.
Please continue to help spread the word about this new feature to any Canadian based homeschool association, support group, supply/resource store, board, or community you know about. I have contacted at least one group in each province but have yet to receive information from them. I will be contacting more as I get time but would love for them to contact me so that I don't have to go searching them out. Your help in this is greatly appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you with your submission soon! :)

12th Edition!
Traduction française ci-dessous - French translation below
Welcome to the 12th Edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival! Let's get started!
Because we have no invitations to visit in either Newfoundland and Labrador or Prince Edward Island this time around we'll skip over those two provinces.
Our first stop for this trip is in Nova Scotia where we'll visit with Dawn as she asks "Are You a Trained Teacher AND a Homeschooler?". She calls for people that are to add their voices to the debate about the certification for homeschooling parents.
We'll pass by New Bruswick and Quebec this time too, as we didn't get any invitations to visit in either province this time around.
Moving on to Ontario, we have three places to visit.
First we'll drop in on Kim as she tells us about her special board, for short unit studies, that she has set up in a peculiar room in the house, but it provides her with a Captive Audience for Summer School.
Next we'll pop in for a first time visit with Annie as she says "Happy 4th of July" and shares some of her favorite American based links.
Then we're off for another first time visit, this time with Alex as she tells us "What I have learned about homeschooling in 13 words or less..."
No invitations to visit in Manitoba this time around so we'll quickly skip over that province.
Our next stop is with Julia in Saskatchewan as she shares some of her favorite American Links.
Next we're off to Alberta to visit with Lori as she makes some excellent points about why taking the time to read and research homeschooling ideas and methods is so important at each stage of homeschooling. She shares her Mom's Summer Reading Program and asks for suggestions of other books to add to her list.
Our last stop is to visit with Rosina in British Columbia. First Rosina serves us some jello cloud parfait which she created for the Unplugged Project ~ Sky. Next she shows us great pictures of the New Butterflies - Beautiful Metamorphosis.
And that ends the 12th edition of the Canadian Homeschooling Blog Carnival. Thank you to those of you that invited us to visit. Also, thank you to those of you that came along for the trip. Be sure to take a minute to let the hosts know that you visited and that you appreciated the invitation.
Also, thank you to those of you that participated in the poll posted on the blog this week. There were way more people that checked out the blog than that participated in the poll but I do greatly appreciate those of you that did take the time to participate. Everyone that participated liked the idea of the list of Canadian homeschool Associations and Support groups, and the majority also liked the idea of the list of Canadian based suppliers so I will be working on these things, and asking for your help, in the coming days.
You have probably noticed that I have provided a french translation of this edition of the carnival. A week or so ago I was reminded of the fact that Canada is a country with two official languages, and while english is the official Canadian language that I am most comfortable with, it is not the official Canadian language that all Canadians are most comfortable with. The purpose of this blog is to bring together home educating families in Canada, no matter which of the two official Canadian languages they are most comfortable with, so I think it is only right that people be able to enjoy the postings in which ever of the two official languages they are most comfortable in. I am still working out how to make this possible. I am not at all fluent in french and I have to depend on online translation tools to help me. These tool are far from perfect but they are a help. I would love to know your thoughts on this. Please either email or leave a comment below.
If all goes well, and I don't forget, I will be posting a call for the next edition tomorrow, so be sure to check back for that and don't forget to send your submissions in early so that you don't forget, and so that I don't start worrying about whether there will be a carnival or not. ;) It would also be great if some of you that are faithful watchers of the carnival would decide to participate rather than just watch. We can always use new places to visit. :)

Bienvenue à la 12e édition du Canadian Home éducateurs Blog Carnaval! Let's get a commencé!
Parce que nous n'avons pas d'invitations à se rendre dans les deux Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador ou Prince Edward Island cette fois nous allons passer au cours de ces deux provinces.
Notre premier arrêt pour ce voyage est en Nouvelle-Écosse, où nous allons visiter avec Dawn comme elle le demande " Êtes-vous formé un enseignant et un Homeschooler?". Elle demande que les personnes qui sont à ajouter leur voix au débat sur la certification maison pour les parents.
Nous allons passer par la Nouvelle Bruswick et au Québec cette fois aussi, car nous n'avons pas tout invitations à se rendre dans la province, soit cette fois-ci.
En ce qui concerne l'Ontario, nous avons trois lieux à visiter.
Tout d'abord, nous allons déposer sur Kim comme elle nous parle de sa commission spéciale, pour de courtes études unité, qu'elle a mis en place dans une chambre particulière dans la maison, mais il lui fournit une auditoire captif pour l'école d'été.
Ensuite, nous allons pop pour une première fois avec Annie visite comme elle l'a dit "Happy 4 Juillet "et partage certaines de ses favoris américain liens.
Ensuite, nous sommes hors d'une autre première visite, cette fois avec Alex car elle nous dit "Ce que j'ai appris au sujet de maison en 13 mots ou moins ..."
Aucun des invitations à se rendre au Manitoba cette fois-ci que nous allons rapidement passer au cours de cette province.
Notre prochaine étape est de Julia en Saskatchewan, alors qu'elle partage certaines de ses favoris américain Liens.
Ensuite, nous sommes hors de l'Alberta à se rendre avec Lori comme elle l'a fait d'excellents points sur les raisons pour lesquelles pris le temps de lire et de la recherche-maison des idées et des méthodes est si important à chaque étape de la maison. Elle partage son Mom's Programme de lecture d'été et demande des suggestions d'autres livres à ajouter à sa liste.
Notre dernière étape est de visiter avec Rosina en Colombie-Britannique. Première Rosina nous sert quelques nuages jello parfait qui elle a créé pour la Unplugged projet ~ Ciel . Suivant elle nous montre une grande photos de la Nouvelle Papillons - Belle Metamorphosis.
Et que se termine la 12e édition du Canada à domicile Blog Carnival. Merci à ceux d'entre vous qui nous a invités à visiter. Aussi, merci à ceux d'entre vous qui sont venus pour le voyage. Assurez-vous de prendre une minute pour les hôtes laisser savoir que vous avez visité et que vous apprécié l'invitation.
Aussi, merci à ceux d'entre vous qui ont participé au sondage affiché sur le blog cette semaine. Il y avait beaucoup plus de personnes ayant coché sur le blog que qui ont participé au sondage, mais je ne apprécions grandement ceux d'entre vous qui ont eu le temps de participer. Tout le monde qui ont participé aimé l'idée de la liste des associations et la maison des groupes de soutien, et la majorité a également souhaité que l'idée de la liste des fournisseurs canadiens je vais donc travailler sur ces choses, et pour demander votre aide, dans les prochains jours .
Vous avez sans doute remarqué que j'ai fourni une traduction française de cette édition du carnaval. Une semaine ou il ya je me suis rappelé du fait que le Canada est un pays avec deux langues officielles, et tout en Anglais est la langue officielle du Canada que je suis le plus à l'aise, ce n'est pas la langue officielle du Canada que tous les Canadiens sont plus à l'aise avec . Le but de ce blog est de réunir des familles d'accueil de l'éducation au Canada, peu importe lequel des deux langues officielles du Canada, ils sont le plus à l'aise avec, je pense qu'il est juste que les gens puissent jouir des messages dans lesquels jamais de la deux langues officielles sont le plus à l'aise po je suis toujours les moyens pour ce faire. Je ne suis pas du tout parle couramment le français et je dois dépendre sur des outils de traduction en ligne pour m'aider. Ces outils sont loin d'être parfait, mais ils sont une aide. J'aimerais connaître votre opinion à ce sujet. S’il vous plaît email ou laisser un commentaire ci-dessous.
Si tout se passe bien, et je n'oublie pas, je serai l'affichage d'un appel pour la prochaine édition de demain, alors assurez-vous de vérifier à nouveau pour cela et ne pas oublier d'envoyer vos soumissions au début afin de ne pas oublier , Et que je ne commence pas se préoccuper de savoir s'il y aura un carnaval ou non. ;) Il serait également très bien si certains d'entre vous qui sont fidèles observateurs du carnaval déciderait de participer plutôt que de se regarder. Nous pouvons toujours utiliser de nouveaux endroits à visiter. :)

Our first stop for this trip is in Nova Scotia where we'll visit with Dawn as she asks "Are You a Trained Teacher AND a Homeschooler?". She calls for people that are to add their voices to the debate about the certification for homeschooling parents.
We'll pass by New Bruswick and Quebec this time too, as we didn't get any invitations to visit in either province this time around.
Moving on to Ontario, we have three places to visit.
First we'll drop in on Kim as she tells us about her special board, for short unit studies, that she has set up in a peculiar room in the house, but it provides her with a Captive Audience for Summer School.
Next we'll pop in for a first time visit with Annie as she says "Happy 4th of July" and shares some of her favorite American based links.
Then we're off for another first time visit, this time with Alex as she tells us "What I have learned about homeschooling in 13 words or less..."
No invitations to visit in Manitoba this time around so we'll quickly skip over that province.
Our next stop is with Julia in Saskatchewan as she shares some of her favorite American Links.
Next we're off to Alberta to visit with Lori as she makes some excellent points about why taking the time to read and research homeschooling ideas and methods is so important at each stage of homeschooling. She shares her Mom's Summer Reading Program and asks for suggestions of other books to add to her list.
Our last stop is to visit with Rosina in British Columbia. First Rosina serves us some jello cloud parfait which she created for the Unplugged Project ~ Sky. Next she shows us great pictures of the New Butterflies - Beautiful Metamorphosis.
And that ends the 12th edition of the Canadian Homeschooling Blog Carnival. Thank you to those of you that invited us to visit. Also, thank you to those of you that came along for the trip. Be sure to take a minute to let the hosts know that you visited and that you appreciated the invitation.
Also, thank you to those of you that participated in the poll posted on the blog this week. There were way more people that checked out the blog than that participated in the poll but I do greatly appreciate those of you that did take the time to participate. Everyone that participated liked the idea of the list of Canadian homeschool Associations and Support groups, and the majority also liked the idea of the list of Canadian based suppliers so I will be working on these things, and asking for your help, in the coming days.
You have probably noticed that I have provided a french translation of this edition of the carnival. A week or so ago I was reminded of the fact that Canada is a country with two official languages, and while english is the official Canadian language that I am most comfortable with, it is not the official Canadian language that all Canadians are most comfortable with. The purpose of this blog is to bring together home educating families in Canada, no matter which of the two official Canadian languages they are most comfortable with, so I think it is only right that people be able to enjoy the postings in which ever of the two official languages they are most comfortable in. I am still working out how to make this possible. I am not at all fluent in french and I have to depend on online translation tools to help me. These tool are far from perfect but they are a help. I would love to know your thoughts on this. Please either email or leave a comment below.
If all goes well, and I don't forget, I will be posting a call for the next edition tomorrow, so be sure to check back for that and don't forget to send your submissions in early so that you don't forget, and so that I don't start worrying about whether there will be a carnival or not. ;) It would also be great if some of you that are faithful watchers of the carnival would decide to participate rather than just watch. We can always use new places to visit. :)
French Translation composed using Google's "Translate Text" Language Tool. If you would like to provide better translations for any parts of the post, email them to me and I would be happy to make the edits promptly.
Traduction française composée en utilisant de Google "Traduire Texte" Language Tool. Si vous souhaitez offrir de meilleures traductions pour toutes les parties de la poste, par courriel à moi et je serais heureux de faire les modifications rapidement.
Bienvenue à la 12e édition du Canadian Home éducateurs Blog Carnaval! Let's get a commencé!
Parce que nous n'avons pas d'invitations à se rendre dans les deux Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador ou Prince Edward Island cette fois nous allons passer au cours de ces deux provinces.
Notre premier arrêt pour ce voyage est en Nouvelle-Écosse, où nous allons visiter avec Dawn comme elle le demande " Êtes-vous formé un enseignant et un Homeschooler?". Elle demande que les personnes qui sont à ajouter leur voix au débat sur la certification maison pour les parents.
Nous allons passer par la Nouvelle Bruswick et au Québec cette fois aussi, car nous n'avons pas tout invitations à se rendre dans la province, soit cette fois-ci.
En ce qui concerne l'Ontario, nous avons trois lieux à visiter.
Tout d'abord, nous allons déposer sur Kim comme elle nous parle de sa commission spéciale, pour de courtes études unité, qu'elle a mis en place dans une chambre particulière dans la maison, mais il lui fournit une auditoire captif pour l'école d'été.
Ensuite, nous allons pop pour une première fois avec Annie visite comme elle l'a dit "Happy 4 Juillet "et partage certaines de ses favoris américain liens.
Ensuite, nous sommes hors d'une autre première visite, cette fois avec Alex car elle nous dit "Ce que j'ai appris au sujet de maison en 13 mots ou moins ..."
Aucun des invitations à se rendre au Manitoba cette fois-ci que nous allons rapidement passer au cours de cette province.
Notre prochaine étape est de Julia en Saskatchewan, alors qu'elle partage certaines de ses favoris américain Liens.
Ensuite, nous sommes hors de l'Alberta à se rendre avec Lori comme elle l'a fait d'excellents points sur les raisons pour lesquelles pris le temps de lire et de la recherche-maison des idées et des méthodes est si important à chaque étape de la maison. Elle partage son Mom's Programme de lecture d'été et demande des suggestions d'autres livres à ajouter à sa liste.
Notre dernière étape est de visiter avec Rosina en Colombie-Britannique. Première Rosina nous sert quelques nuages jello parfait qui elle a créé pour la Unplugged projet ~ Ciel . Suivant elle nous montre une grande photos de la Nouvelle Papillons - Belle Metamorphosis.
Et que se termine la 12e édition du Canada à domicile Blog Carnival. Merci à ceux d'entre vous qui nous a invités à visiter. Aussi, merci à ceux d'entre vous qui sont venus pour le voyage. Assurez-vous de prendre une minute pour les hôtes laisser savoir que vous avez visité et que vous apprécié l'invitation.
Aussi, merci à ceux d'entre vous qui ont participé au sondage affiché sur le blog cette semaine. Il y avait beaucoup plus de personnes ayant coché sur le blog que qui ont participé au sondage, mais je ne apprécions grandement ceux d'entre vous qui ont eu le temps de participer. Tout le monde qui ont participé aimé l'idée de la liste des associations et la maison des groupes de soutien, et la majorité a également souhaité que l'idée de la liste des fournisseurs canadiens je vais donc travailler sur ces choses, et pour demander votre aide, dans les prochains jours .
Vous avez sans doute remarqué que j'ai fourni une traduction française de cette édition du carnaval. Une semaine ou il ya je me suis rappelé du fait que le Canada est un pays avec deux langues officielles, et tout en Anglais est la langue officielle du Canada que je suis le plus à l'aise, ce n'est pas la langue officielle du Canada que tous les Canadiens sont plus à l'aise avec . Le but de ce blog est de réunir des familles d'accueil de l'éducation au Canada, peu importe lequel des deux langues officielles du Canada, ils sont le plus à l'aise avec, je pense qu'il est juste que les gens puissent jouir des messages dans lesquels jamais de la deux langues officielles sont le plus à l'aise po je suis toujours les moyens pour ce faire. Je ne suis pas du tout parle couramment le français et je dois dépendre sur des outils de traduction en ligne pour m'aider. Ces outils sont loin d'être parfait, mais ils sont une aide. J'aimerais connaître votre opinion à ce sujet. S’il vous plaît email ou laisser un commentaire ci-dessous.
Si tout se passe bien, et je n'oublie pas, je serai l'affichage d'un appel pour la prochaine édition de demain, alors assurez-vous de vérifier à nouveau pour cela et ne pas oublier d'envoyer vos soumissions au début afin de ne pas oublier , Et que je ne commence pas se préoccuper de savoir s'il y aura un carnaval ou non. ;) Il serait également très bien si certains d'entre vous qui sont fidèles observateurs du carnaval déciderait de participer plutôt que de se regarder. Nous pouvons toujours utiliser de nouveaux endroits à visiter. :)

Possible new sidebar features - your thoughts?
I have been thinking about adding a couple of new features to the sidebar of the blog, much like the feature listing personal blogs featured in the past. You can let me know your thoughts by participating in the poll in the sidebar and/or leaving a comment at the end of this post. I will not add the features unless the majority of readers think it would be beneficial.
One of these features would be a list of Canadian based Homeschool Associations and support groups that have some sort of internet presence, sorted according to the province they serve, with an additional category for nationwide groups.
The other feature would be a list of Canadian based suppliers and curriculum representatives that have some sort of internet presence, sorted according to the province they are based in.
In order to be listed in either of these features, an official of the group or business would have to submit a paragraph about the group or business, including a link to their internet site or page. This pargraph would be posted in an edition of the carnival and then the group or business web address would be added to the sidebar feature. No group or business would be added without their approval.
What do you think? Beneficial or a waste of time and space? Thoughts, questions, comments?

11th Edition!
Happy Canada Day! Welcome to the 11th Edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival.
We're going to start this trip in Newfoundland and Labrador.
While stopping in for a visit with me, Jacqueline, I'll share with you that July 1st in Newfoundland is A day of remembrances and celebrations with a strange mixture of emotions and activities.
Unfortunately we didn't get any invitations to visit in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, or Quebec this time around so we have to take a long trip over those provinces to get to our next stop.
We have a couple of stops to make in Ontario.
First we'll drop in on Jackie as she talks about how she thinks where she lives is Not Canadian Enough and how she's looking forward to studying Canadian History and Geography.
Next we'll stop in for a first time visit with Heather as she tells us she is busy with Last minute details preparing for an exciting trip to China where her girls are performing with the Stellae Boreales, an advancesd performance group of the National Capital Suzuki Music School. She also gives us the link to the group's web page so that we can follow their trip.
Unfortunately there are no invitations to visit in Manitoba or Saskatchewan this time round so we'll quickly zoom over those provinces on to the next one.
We have two invitations to visit in Alberta.
First we'll pop in for a visit with Heather while she predicts the Death of the Job Hunt while reminiscing about her job hunting compared with her DD's recent experience in obtaining her first job. She also gives an interesting job description of the job most of us have taken on.
Next we'll stop in on Lori as she exclaims "My favorite day of the year!", the day the pool is filled, because it signals the beginning of the relaxing days of summer.
Next we're off to British Columbia to visit with Rosina. First up she shares
her easy, yummy sounding Fruitsicle Recipe. Then, she shares from Nature's Recipe Box - Strawberry Rhubarb Jam made without any artificial pectin.
And that ends the 11th edition of the Canadian Homeschooling Blog Carnival. Thank you to those of you that invited us to visit. Also, thank you to those of you that came along for the trip. Be sure to take a minute to let the hosts know that you visited and that you appreciated the invitation.
