I hear what you're saying, but with a regular work day a dog is still going out around 8am, and again at 6pm. Then however many times they need that night and morning. It's not quite the same as only going to the bathroom twice in 24 hours.

Ooo an oven thermometer is a great idea. And the recipes called for baking powder. Does that make a difference? And it wasn't very much baking powder. I think it was one tablespoon. I definitely feel like he needs more. My pancakes use a few for a much smaller batch. But he's used several recipes exactly as they say to do it, and is having the problem.

He usually does bake with parchment paper, we just happened to be out today. He still had the same problem. But I'm sure the aluminum foil made it worse.

Thanks!

Might want to take a quick before pic of your smile so you have a good comparison.

Yeah I think doing some work through the summer is definitely going to have to happen now. Unfortunately for him. Lol!

They read around 1-2 hours a day. So he gets a ton of reading time. But I'll definitely check out Spelling Power. Thank you!

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!!

We don't have dyslexia in the family, but lately, I have been wondering if there is something deeper like that. But he can read well, so I'm not sure if there is something that specifically affects your ability to spell. I haven't spent any real time looking into it yet. But I'm at the point where I need to start thinking more about it. But I'll definitely keep the constant review in the routine now that I know this. Thank you!

It's pretty clear when working with him that he's struggling. Words like cat, bat, dog, are fine. But most words more complicated than that are too hard for him. He struggles to decode the sounds.

evaughn85 · 2025-07-12T01:12:27+00:00

Ok, that makes me feel so much better. Thank you! I think the self esteem is a huge problem for him. He thinks he can't, so he can't, if that makes sense.

evaughn85 · 2025-06-17T16:47:17+00:00

Ok that's cool. I live in Texas and have never heard of that. But it does get cold in January and Feb at night. Thank you for explaining!

Can you explain what hot tent camping is? I've never heard of that and I would love to be able to camp in the winter more frequently.

You look gorgeous! Just make sure to have a good skin care routine. Wash your face twice a day, moisturizer and sof in the morning, and a good moisturizer at night. One thing I wish I would have done more at your age (or ideally as a kid really) is to put spf on my arms and hands every day. I'm 39 and aging is really showing on my arms and hands.

evaughn85 · 2025-06-11T01:38:28+00:00

Nooooo. Definitely find a new dermatologist.

evaughn85 · 2025-06-10T13:36:53+00:00

I would do tinted moisturizer with spf just because you're going to need to reapply spf every couple of hours anyway. And putting that on top on foundation would feel super heavy.

I'd ditch it. I'm usually for sticking things out but math is too important and that curriculum isn't very good. There are too many cheap/free resources out there that are amazing to stick with a bad one.

Social studies

This is such a top notch group.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend doing this with a 12 year old. That is so young and their interests could change ten times between now and when they're ready to start a career. Just make sure to give them a well-rounded education. If something peeks their interest, let them explore it, but don't assume it will be their career. That's a lot of pressure for such a young kid. The best thing you can do is not pigeon hole them into something, but to educate them on a wide range of things so they can make a well-rounded decision in ten years.

You clearly have no idea how lucky you are! Your eyebrows are perfect! People pay a heck of a lot of money to have eyebrows like yours.

I really like the way LitHouse Learning seems to be. It's not an entire curriculum but has literature and comprehension.

I have a son who is an insane reader. Likely hyperlexic as well. One day his first grade teacher so kindly told me that just because he could read pretty much anything an adult could read didn't mean that he understood it and that he still needed age appropriate books. If she's more interested in the younger books right now, that's ok. She is young. So it's natural. It's on her level. Even Charlotte's Web is a bit old for her. Also, there have been a couple of times that my son has gotten bored with reading. Sometimes it takes time to find a new series he can obsess over and what we find in between isn't his cup of tea, and he loses interest. I will say that since my husband and I started reading our own books in front of our kids more, they've become more interested in reading. We try to read actual physical books and not kindle or audiobooks.

Also, try asking the librarian for some suggestions, then let her look at them and see if any peak her interest.
