What do you do when your child stickd tape up his nose?

First, you look and try to see what's in the nose.

Second, you have him blow his nose as hard as he can, and as much as he can.

Third, if there is still something up the nose (in my case I could see it), you take him to the clinic.

Fourth, oups, the clinic is closed! Buy a pair of tweezers, and try to perform the surgery yourself.

NOSE CLEAR, you can breathe. I only got tissue out, though, a big ball of it. I do not know where the tape is.

This is what happened to me today. Joho seems to be fine. I am still wondering whether I should take him in to have it checked out . . . I'm definitely gonna watch it!

Any of you have similar stories?

Have a great day,

I haven't experienced my dc putting things in their nose (yet) but I did read in Dr. James Dobson book "Bringing up Boys" about a mother who couldn't get the beans out of her two young sons and eventually the beans sprouted! They had plants growing out of their noses. LOL. Made me laugh. Have you read that book yet?

Yes I have read that book, but did not remember the story. My mom told me she once had a bean in her nose as well, and it had started to grow. It was smelling and that is how they found out. Weird and gross I guess . . .

My daughter put a Perler Bead up her nose a few months ago. You can read the whole story on my blog.

Glad you were able to get the tape out.

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

2019-2020 Curriculum Line Up- Grade 11 and Grade 9

Happy New Year to all! After a two year hiatus, I am resurrecting this blog. Life has been such that keeping up with this blog had become a really low priority, but I kind of miss it, so here I am giving it a try again.

With a 14 year old (9th grade) and a 16 year old (11th grade) I really feel like time is sleeping away; but that is the reality of life. We are but a vapor...
