Stuff We Like :: 10.6.16
We’re busy wrapping up the fall issue of home/school/life—look for it to be out next week!—but here’s a little roundup of what else we’re doing with our lives lately.
around the web
- Well, obviously Hermione Granger is much more than just a sidekick.
- I’m in love with Michael Chabon’s essay about Fashion Week, his son, and being yourself. (I cried.)
- Children’s literature classics on the map. Does’t this just make you want to take a road trip?
at home | school | life
- on the blog: I always love Shelli’s citizen science adventures.
- one year ago: Rebecca reviewed History Odyssey for the HSL blog.
- two years ago: I love this post from Idzie: How to talk about homeschooling so that people will listen
- in the magazine: We’re getting some great nominations for our best cities for homeschoolers list. It’s so fun to read about other people’s favorite places.
reading list
- on my night table: Food 52: A New Way to Dinner (seriously, my favorite new cookbook since Plenty), Lab Girl
- on my 14-year-old’s night table: The Scarlet Letter, The Arm of the Starfish
- on my 9-year-old’s night table: Viking Ships at Sunrise
at home
- watching: The Imitation Game (finally!)
- knitting: Chevron Baby Blanket (last project for my nephew-in-progress)
- eating: my very favorite Honey Cake for Rosh Hashanah. (Happy New Year!)
A Note About Affiliate Links on HSL: HSL earns most of our income through subscriptions. (Thanks, subscribers!) We are also Amazon affiliates, which means that if you click through a link on a book or movie recommendation and end up purchasing something, we may get a small percentage of the sale. (This doesn’t affect the price you pay.) We use this money to pay for photos and web hosting. We use these links only if they match up to something we’re recommending anyway — they don’t influence our coverage. You can learn more about how we use affiliate links here.
