Will you please come visit me here?

I’ve found a lovely new spot on the web and I’d enjoy a visit.

I really can’t believe it but Graduation is so.very.close.

In less than 2 weeks, my Senior will be a High School Graduate.  I am proud of who she is and what she is allowing GOD to do in her life.

There is […]

“How many books are in the Bible?”  66

“The Bible is divided into 2 parts.  What are they?”  Old Testament and New Testament

“Great!  How many books are in the Old Testament?” 39

I love Bright Ideas Press!  I think their Mystery of History was the very first curriculum that I used outside of a pre-boxed all-inclusive program in our homeschool.  I found it one year and decided we’d give it […]

Earlier this year I had the privilege of reviewing a math workbook published by AIMS Education Foundation and it was a hit at my house due to its total hands-on approach.  AIMS is the place “where science and […]

And you will know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will set you free. John 8:32

JESUS told him, “I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.  No one can come to the FATHER except through ME.” John 14:6

My sweet MainMost is a writer at heart and has dreams of writing the next great American novel.  He’s really THAT good and is able to put words down on paper in a way very few can do.  I love reading the […]

GOD’s plan is perfect and HIS design is AMAZING!  Have you ever really stopped to look at the intricacies with which HE created all of HIS marvelous creatures?  HE is so creative!  How neat that HE made giraffes […]

I would definitely classify this year as our “Year of the Book.” We’ve been more intentional than ever to read, Read, READ this school year.  From read-alouds to individual reading time we’ve covered some great literature and that’s led to some great family discussions.  We’ve laughed together and cried together as we’ve traveled to far-off [...]

I was first introduced to Classical Academic Press last year when we reviewed Latin Alive! on the Crew — and I really liked what I saw!   {You can read my review of Latin Alive! here} When we were given the opportunity to review The Art of Argument:  An Introduction to the Informal Fallacies , (the new and expanded [...]

I’m all about learning as much as possible through hands-on, get-in-there-and-get-your-feet-wet discovery and GOD’s timing is always perfect.  One of the favorite activities in our homeschool group is the annual Mystery Dinner for the 7-th – 12th graders. This year’s theme was a Medieval Mystery and all of the kids dressed up for their assigned [...]

I’m always ready to “unlock my child’s potential” and really like watching as things begin to CLICK when we try new ways of learning at Long Leaf Academy.  Although I don’t stress or worry about outside assessments of my children, it was very interesting to have two of them take an online assessment at K5 Learning recently. Designed [...]

Our school journey has seen a plethora of learning styles and as with all families we’ve had our share of struggles and triumphs. The Senior blew away the Reading portion of the ACT — in part because she has had a love of the written word for as long as I can remember.  She enjoyed [...]

With three girls in the house (and ME!) , skin products don’t stay in one place for long!  That was especially true for the new peppermint  Lip B.A.L.M. ($3) and the  Milk and Honey Facial Bar ($10) that we have been using from beeyoutiful.com. When our BeeYouTiFul review products arrived, they were claimed before I could even remove them…[Read more]

“For we are GOD’s Masterpiece.  HE has created us anew in CHRIST JESUS, so we can do the good things HE planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 Last year I had the privilege of reviewing Volume One in Apologia’s What We Believe Series.  Not only did we use it in our homeschool studies, I also taught from Who [...]

My very favorite reading tool from last year was the See-N-Read — so much so that I still use it EVERY day!  We start school every morning reading from the Bible and my See-N-Read has proven to be an invaluable companion.  I also have a See-N-Read tucked inside our spelling curriculum so that I can easily call words [...]

Last year we had the opportunity to review a great math facts game called MathRider.   (You can read all about that experience with it  here and see how much my oldest daughter wanted to play as well.) The Princess thought it was simply THE.BEST.GAME.EVER and really enjoyed telling all of her friends about it. Created by Thomas Brand [...]

Are you a professional star-gazer?  Or maybe you just want to be? Can you stand outside on a clear night and identify the constellations?  Would you like to learn how to find them and make your study of the heavens mean even more? We’re studying Astronomy this year and really, REALLY liking it! How cool that [...]

Over the river, and through the wood, to Grandfather’s house we go; The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifted snow — OH! Sing along with me now!  Okay, so in Southwest Mississippi we’d have to actually sing that song a little differently.  There’s no horse, no sleigh and DEFINITELY no snow, [...]
