Sarah’s Wish Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Sarah’s Wish by Jim Baumgardner The Accident It all seemed to have happened in one of those slow-motion moments. Actually, the horse heard it first-the rattle sound. The sound that leaves goose bumps on a big man’s neck. By the time the girl caught eye of it, Blackie had instinctively shied to the right. “Snake!” Rachel pointed at the coiled serpent, its mouth gaping, fangs laid bare. Blackie bolted. The sudden jerk slammed Rachel against the seat, wrenching the reins from her hands. Immediately she reached for twelve-year-old Sarah.

Prelude to a Blog Giveaway and Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Should I or shouldn’t I create a blog for Munchkin? It could be good for her to have a place to showcase her own writings, drawings, and pictures. Yet, there are people out that that have less than honorable intentions towards kids. Yes, these are some of the thoughts that run through my head when I think about Munchkin blogging.

Christmas Reading

Posted in Holidays, and Reviews

Are you looking for a way to bring your family together during Christmas? One good way to bring your family together is to start a tradition of nightly reading.

Each day has a devotional story, suggested activities, and a holiday schedule. We’ve been reading the devotional stories (almost) every evening. Next year, we’ll probably incorporate some of the activities. So far, we have enjoyed this book. The holiday scheduling ideas would be a great way to keep your…

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.
