You may not have heard of Heritage History before, but you should. Heritage History is taking those wonderful out of print, public domain books and making them easy to use for everyone. The Ancient Greece Curriculum I received contains 46 titles, as well as maps, outline maps, and a study guide for Ancient Greece. Designed […]
Spelling Made Fun!
Spelling is not my sons’ favorite subject. They know it’s a necessary one, but still, not their favorite. To combat boredom, we began using a site called VocabularySpellingCity.com several years ago. A basic membership is free, and allows you to enter and save your childrens’ spelling lists, and to access lots of activities that help […]
Times Tales Review
For the past couple of months, my boys and I have been focusing—literally and intensely—on multiplication. I was looking into fun ways to learn their times tables, and then the chance for me to review a great product came up. Naturally, I jumped at it! Times Tales is a unique method for memorizing the multiplication […]
Time 4 Learning- Review
We have had such an interesting month! As I told you in February, we had the opportunity to test out Time4Learning for a month. I Tweeted a little bit about our experience, but I didn’t want to give away much before I wrote my review. I am a pretty serious planner when it comes to […]
The Flag Page: Discover Your Child’s Heart
While I was at The Relevant Conference back in October 2010, I spent a lot of time at the Family Matters table. I was excited to see them there, not only because of this wonderful game called The Kids Flag Page. A couple of years ago, E and I went to the Laugh Your Way […]
Entertain with Jesus is the Gift by DaySpring
When I first walked into the lounge at The Relevant Conference I was simply blown away by all of the beautiful items that dressed the walls, the tables, and everything else. I have to be honest, prior to the conference, I really didn’t know anything about DaySpring. They were the main conference sponsors, and they […]
Raising Real Men
When I was approached by Melanie Young to review her book, Raising Real Men, I jumped at the chance. I very happily received a free copy of the book for review. You see, I’m a “boy mom”. Three of the kids we have left at home ARE boys, although one is grown. Okay, he’s 19. […]
The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters Review
I recently had the opportunity to read a little gift book called The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters, by Andy Andrews. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I started, but it’s not just a feel-good, fluffy gift book. The Butterfly Effect follows the lives of two people, both relatively unknown to the […]
A ‘Captivating’ Review
I recently read one of the most unique books! I admit, it took me a long time to read it. A very long time. It forced me to think about myself, my life experiences, and my God so differently, that it was difficult to take in. I had to read it in small chunks, to […]
Phonics and Spelling with FUN
If you’ve reached the end of your school year, and you’re re-evaluating your curriculum, join the club. 🙂 I am always in a state of evaluation. What works, what isn’t working, and what might just help… all are questions we ask ourselves, whether we are home schooling moms or moms of kids who are just out for the summer.
