Today during school, we did our grammar. There was an old fashioned illustration of 2 girls. He was supposed to tell a little story about what was happening. He said the rich girl gave the poor girl a pair of shoes. I asked, “What about some more vivid verbs? Something that is a little more [...]
What a wonderful opportunity I had to review Math U See’s program Epsilon! Math U See’s Epsilon includes a teacher book, test book, student book, and fraction overlays, as well as a DVD with Mr. Demme introducing the concepts in each lesson. Here’s how we’ve been using this program. At the beginning of the week, [...]
As a reviewer for the TOS Crew, I received a free copy of this book to review. James really enjoys science and it’s one of my weaker areas, so I really like to look at a broad range of curriculum and idea books to help me out. AIMS Education Foundation is a non-profit foundation offering [...]
I received a free copy of Encouragement for Homeschool Moms in exchange for a review. Let me tell you I NEEDED this devotional. Last year was rough for us–really rough! My sweet little boy is a go getter and what they called “strong willed”. Then on top of it Dad came home–after a 6 year [...]

You will be seeing a few more reviews around here. I’m still reviewing some books with Litfuse Publicity and I was accepted as one of The Old Schoolhouse Review Crew members. I also was accepted as a blogger to a Woman of Faith conference this fall. So, just a heads up. I’ll still be regular [...]
I applied for The Old Schoolhouse Crew to help review homeschool items. They sent me a copy of The Curiostiy Files to review as the next step in my application. As a homeschool mom, looking at new curriculum and helps for our school is ALWAYS a good time. I’m sort of a geek like that. [...]
