Review: TenMarks

TenMarks is a great homeschool math solution as a curriculum or a supplement to your current curriculum. Each program is personalized and mapped to state standards. Students work at their own pace with hints and video lessons. Instant Feedback Tailored to Each Child Reward System Munchkin was excited that she would have the opportunity to work on her geometry in a different format.

Hiking Old Stamp Mill Trail

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

On Sunday, we decided to head out and enjoy the Lord’s creation by having a picnic by the water and then hiking the Old Stamp Mill Trail at Picacho State Park.  Little did we know that our idea of having a picnic by the water would be foiled by a windstorm. Project 365 – #025 As you can see with this picture of D walking towards us, the wind was really kicking.  We decided to find a more sheltered spot away from the crazy wind to enjoy our lunch.  After lunch, we began our hike.  The cool breeze felt nice…
