This has been very helpful, everyone. I appreciate the feedback, advice and support. I just WISH I could...I don't know. Find a little tribe of kids like DS that just happened to live nearby and form my own co-op. Is that so much to ask?? Gifties of NJ...where are you?? lol.

I am on information overload right now - looking in 30 different directions at 30 different websites/books/forums to try and figure out whats around, what we want to do, and how to implement it. I can see that the summer is a great time to get gifties together - camps and classes and what not. I just wish it was throughout the year too. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places...??
