edgyk8inmomma It's how my mom taught me before and while I was in school. I guess, around high school is when I realized what was going on...and then began working on it. So I would say about 4-6 years of consciously working on improving the skill. For the last three or...

edgyk8inmomma When you first begin using it takes some time. Your mind isn't used to making the connections in this manner. But, just like anything else new, pafter a while it will become second nature. After you are used to making these connections, it becomes automatic. I...

edgyk8inmomma Well, I can offer some tips, but that doesn't mean you need to take me word for word. The Creative Curriculum format is very similar to the way I try to plan. My preschoolers range from 2 to 4/5, so I keep my "teaching" to a minimum. I see myself as more of a...

edgyk8inmomma I need to go look at my course lineup now. I hope I have a class planned in this area. If not, I'm going to look into taking one as an elective! If my college doesn't offer it, I'm not bound to the classroom, I'll look into it on my own time:)

When you spend time online, do you write for money or for fun? Where are your best places to write? What do you try and get out of your writing? Do you write for free, or do you expect to get paid?

edgyk8inmomma I agree that the number of articles makes a big difference. With 6 titles, I placed third. So if I had submitted the other two I was working on, I probably would have made second???who knows?

edgyk8inmomma I placed third, so my total earnings from Helium are now about 35, and at AC are close to 50. It would only take one more contest win to put Helium above AC, I guess it just depends on how much you put into which one.
