My blogging friend Rodna over at Training Children up for Christ asks me if I had a lapbook study on Christopher Columbus. It was said a bit tongue in cheek as she didn’t really expect the answer to be yes. (We were talking about the Little House lapbook series that I had done.) Well, it just so happened that I had made one up a couple of years ago (or so), but I had never got around to preparing it for posting on my blog like I had done with the Little House lapbooks and other lapbooks. (There are several…

Slowly, I’m working on getting all of my lapbooks onto my blog. I created this lapbook study a few years ago when Munchkin was studying crocodiles and alligators. New to lapbooking? Check out my Lapbooking Made Easy series.

Being Prepared to Share the Truth

Project 365 – #232 On Friday, D had a rare opportunity to discuss logic and the Bible with someone from work. Due to some situations that were happening, they had a sit down to talk over various things and somehow the conversation took a turn towards logic, philosophy, and the Bible. Because of the recent homeschool convention that we attended with Ken Ham and many of our family studies that we’ve been doing, the answers and logic were readily available to him. Religious conversations in the military workplace have to be handled with caution, so it’s not often that he’s able…
