Does anyone have February? If you need another hostess, I would be happy to host February. Whatever topic naturally falls there is fine for me. Or if you have enough hostesses, I'd be happy to just contribute.

Currently, Dec and April are open (and I guess we could plan out as far as next July/August if we have more people who want to host?)

help, i'm torn. October is the Month of the Holy Rosary, but i would love-love-love to do a "Loveliness of Humor" theme. maybe a combo would work, but i'd like your opinions. (like funny stories about Rosary time at your home? i have a few)

or any other suggestions... like fall-related stuff... idk. help!

Call it Holiness and Humor and you can get funny stories about the Mass and the Rosary or anything..

My 4 yr old calls Rosary beads "my Jesus necklace" and I haven't been able to dissuade him of that yet

i love the "loveliness of humor" idea.

(also - i am afraid we do not have a special affinity for the rosary in our home, so i fear i would have nothing to contribute...)

Looks like you need to add July and August Laura so that you can get another 2 to sign up and get a full year

this is great, isn't it?

i was going to do that - have the full year - my only concern was so much can change in that amount of time - i was worried about that.

but if y'all think it is fine - sure!!

i think it was CrunchyMom who said she would host a month, too...

so..anyone else?

a lot can change.. but it can be flexible.. they don't have to be on the 1st of the month but could be tail end of the previous month or a bit later into the month and things like that.. so signing up for the month would still leave flexibility.. and surely someone could pick it up if someone has to back out.

I'll do the July. I liked the Loveliness of Nature in your Own Backyard idea. July is a good month for showing off gardens, too.

I would love to host one if there is still space. And any topic will work for me. :) It looks like August is open- maybe something to do with getting ready for the new year, revitalizing your homeschool, establishing new rhythms and routines, etc. Something along that line?
