Well, since I was so excited about the video series that I found, I figured that I should share it and not keep it to myself. lol! There are a lot of different series put out by Schlessinger Media. We’re using the Grammar for Children series, the Map Skills for Children series, and the Physical Science series right now. They also put out different Earth Science dvds, Weather Fundamentals, History dvds, Math dvds… You name it; they probably have it. Many of their series come in different grade levels as well which is really nice depending on how in depth…

I was able to get a lot of reading in while we were camping which was such a blessing as I love to read. I really enjoyed reading A Woman After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George. There were a lot of practical tips on how to truly become a woman after God’s own heart. One thing that I personally took away was making sure that your husband is #1 in the relationship (after God).

Small Changes for a Better Life Review

Posted in Reviews, and Thoughts

I recently started reading books by Elizabeth George. I started off with her book Small Changes for a Better Life since it was available from our local library.

Easter Chimes

We’ve been reading a book called Easter Chimes: Stories for Easter and the Spring Season by Wilhelmina Harper. Each evening, we’ve settled down before bed for a good story from this book. Some of the stories are religious and talk about the true meaning of Easter while other stories are just fun stories about spring. It’s been interesting to read some of these tales from years past. (The revised copyright on this book in 1965). My daughter (and myself) have truly enjoyed our readings. Now that my husband is home, he’s enjoying the readings as well. There are also several…
