As part of the Review Crew, I’ve gotten to review lots of great curriculum, some fun games, even some things for my babies. But when a review for The Pencil Grip, Inc. came up as a possibility, I got pretty excited. As a momma to many who has seven dear children who love to paint […]
Shopping
We went to a bunch of community rummage sales Friday. Everyone had a great time, in spite of the rain. Elliot scored a little Pottery Barn sink/cupboard that has suddenly become the busiest place in my house. I dug out the pretend food and pans she didn’t know we owned that were stashed away. I […]
Scarecrow
Keep the girls out of the boys’ bedroom, Sterling style: It’s enough to make you jump when your walk into the room and he’s right there in the closet. I think Sterling is trying to keep his sisters out. It’ll work for Elliot anyway. She’s scared of everything… Real or imagined.
TOS Review: YWAM Publishing
Around this house, YWAM Publishing is a well known company. Short for Youth With a Mission, YWAM Publishing has published some of our very favorite books – books we have incorporated into our homeschool. I own more than a dozen, and I hope to own them all someday. When the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew was […]
TOS Review: Devonian
Twice last year, I reviewed products Koru Naturals, including their emu oil. You can read those reviews here and here. A few months ago, I was given the opportunity through the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew to review for Koru Naturals again, – this time for their plant-based emu oil alternative, GREEMU, by Devonian Health and Beauty. I received a […]
Almost home.
Our week alone is nearly over, and, thankfully, it’s been a quiet one. Some of his trips have have left me with far more interesting stories to tell. Backed up septic, green wood that wouldn’t heat the house above 50°, and a chimney fire top the list. Twice I discovered I was pregnant while he […]
TOS Review: Apologia Educational Ministries
When the opportunity to review a writing curriculum from Apologia Educational Ministries came up, I jumped at it. Having watched Liberty take a different writing class this school year through our co-op, and seeing how much she improved, I was anxious to see what Apologia Educational Ministries has to offer in homeschool writing curriculum. Eden, age […]
Privilege
Blaine left today for a weeklong trip for work. Today I folded laundry. For hours. Something nearing 12 loads of laundry were already washed, dried, and waiting when my day began. I was only backed up on folding for a few days and that’s where I ended up. Throw in a few more loads that […]
Perspective.
We made it home. Those are four beautiful words up there. We ended up leaving Michigan Sunday evening and drove all night. We got back home to Missouri at 4:00 am Monday. Traveling overnight is miserable for drivers, and driving rain made it all the more fun, but with far fewer stops and no vomit, […]
TOS Review: Talking Fingers Inc.
The Review Crew was offered the opportunity to review Read, Write & Type from Talking Fingers Inc., an online program teaching phonics, typing, spelling, and reading. I used this with Charlotte, age five and a half and in Kindergarten. She worked on this as part of our homeschool day for as long as she wanted – usually […]
