Learning & Play at the McGuire Manor

Originally called The Notebook of a Polyglot, I first created this journal as a space to practice multiple languages, namely English, Spanish, Japanese, and German. I no longer keep up with that practice and my knowledge of the above has decreased over time.

Afterwards this space was dedicated to sporadic writing until the time and interest trailed off.

At this time converting the journal as a place to detail our humble homeschooling efforts. A small slice of our journey as a family.

My favorite diaries:

My favorite music:

Israel And New Breed
comments: A praise and worship band that continues to energize and inspire me with scriptural lyrics and powerful vocals

My favorite movies:

Gone With The Wind
comments: It's a long movie...but well worth the hours watching. Romantic and dramatic. You'll fall in love with the characters.
The Switch
comments: Charming film about switched sperm. Actors do an amazing job portraying the characters that they do. The kid is a real cutie and reminds me of my youngest brother.
Up
comments: This movie won my heart. Bittersweet beginning and heartwarming end.
50 First Dates
comments: I can practically watch this movie forever.
Beauty And The Beast
comments: Enough said.

My favorite authors:

Madeleine L'Engle
comments: Have not read her entire series, but have always enjoyed her works. My favorite book written by her is "An AcceptableTime"
Brian Jacques
comments: Discovered him on the PBS show 'Redwall' which was based on his book series. "Martin the Warrior" is my all time favorite from him.
Lois Duncan
comments: A favorite author from my youth when I was mostly interested in the paranormal. Simply entertaining writing.
