Analytical Grammar Companion Dvds

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Towards the end of the last school year, we started using Analytical Grammar.  I was one of those moms that said I wouldn’t use a grammar program that required a great deal of diagramming.  Well, once again, I’m eating my own words.  It turns out that diagramming works for Munchkin.  She doesn’t always like it, but it does work for her. Munchkin liked the format of Analytical Grammar, but her one complaint was that she felt there wasn’t quite enough instruction for her.  Because she wanted to do the work independently, she would tackle the lesson using her understanding of…

Review: Principles of Marketing

Posted in Reviews

Munchkin was excited about the possibility of doing this review as she currently is thinking about her plans for the future.  When we received the dvd, I popped it into the computer and started printing out the lesson plans, learning objectives (by chapter), course syllabus, and key terms (by chapter).  (You can view these on the computer, but I wanted to have physical copies for Munchkin.)  I had Munchkin look over everything prior to starting the lessons, so she would have a better understanding of the class.

More Back Surgery

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

This picture was taken at the end of a nice horseback ride a couple of weeks ago.  Our ride was covered in a great deal of prayer as Daddy didn’t want to disappoint a very excited young lady who loves horses.  His back pain had kept him from doing much walking just the previous few days, so he was concerned.  The Lord answered prayers by allowing him to join us on this ride. Sadly, D’s first back surgery back in April did not take care of all of his issues.  After going through military procedures and getting a second opinion,…
