Bloom Ball for Education or Decoration

Posted in Homemaking, and Homeschooling

Bloom Balls are not only a fun paper craft, but they can also be an hands-on educational activity. Whether you want to use these as a inexpensive decoration in your home or use them as a learning tool, both kids and adults will find Bloom Balls to be easy to assemble. To be fair, depending on the complexity of your chosen Bloom Ball, it may take longer as you figure out the assembly process. Once you understand how to assemble the Bloom Balls, the process goes much faster. I created the transparent png templates to make the process a little…

TITL Apparel is not just a business for owner Stephanie Osborn; it’s also her ministry. TITL, Trust in the Lord, Apparel is a platform for ministry, for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

An Off-Leash Adventure

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

On Saturday afternoon, we headed out to do a little off-roading after Daddy did a little check in on some work matters. We hadn’t been out since the big rain, so it was fun to see the differences brought about by the storm. In the desert, rain means a transformation of the terrain due to flash flooding which redeposits the sandy soil, rocks, and vegetation all over the places. No matter how good they try to make the drainage near the paved roads, there is always some pretty solid destruction and places where the road is at least partially destroyed. Obviously, the dirt roads are even…

Economics for Everybody

Posted in Reviews

Economics for Everybody is a new series put out by Compass Cinema. You may be familiar with their Visual Latinseries.

The teacher in this series is Dr. RC Sproul, Jr. who is a professor and lecturer at Ligonier Academy. His passion for Christ and economics shines through in each of his lessons. One of the unique aspects of this program is that it starts with God and his creation.…

Learning about the Golden Eagle

Posted in Homeschooling

When we were at the San Diego Safari Park, we had the opportunity to learn more about Golden Eagles thanks to this animal encounter. The golden eagle is the largest bird of prey in North America. It can dive at speeds of over 150 miles per hour when it spots a tasty morsel down below. They snatch up their prey with extremely sharp talons. This beautiful specimen was using that strong beak to untie herself from her handler. She was also making it known that she did not like the microphone. (The handler eventually had to set down the microphone…
