Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology
Science can be fun to teach, but it can also be drudgery and a headache, and which one you feel can largely depend on the curriculum you use. We were given a great opportunity to review Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology from Apologia. I've heard so much about Apologia's science curriculums I couldn't resist trying this one. Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology is designed for kids Kindergarten through 6th grade. The series includes: Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology Text Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology ... Continue Reading...
Faith-Inspiring Phone Cases
Prone to Wander LA is a company offers beautiful phone cases and home decor items all centered around God's word and the Christian faith. They were kind enough to send me three awesome cases for my iPhone 6S+ and I am going to show you those in detail and give you a quick review. Stick around until the end for info on how to win your own phone cases from Prone to Wander. When the cases arrived in a very interesting shape box, I decided to take photos of my unboxing. The cases came sealed under tissue paper and resting on a bed of fancy paper shreds. Each case was individually ... Continue Reading...
Princess Cut (movie review)
Our family enjoys watching movies, but it is hard to find good movies with a Christian theme. We were given a copy of Princess Cut to watch and review. Princess Cut was made by Watchman Pictures and is about a young woman who desperately wants to get married, but is she willing to compromise her beliefs to get that perfect diamond? Grace Anderson is like so many women today: searching for the perfect man. But Grace soon finds out the best way to find the man for her is to change her focus from marriage to God and her faith. Before I continue on my with review I want to share the ... Continue Reading...

If You Were Me and Lived In… (Book Series Review)
It can often be hard for kids (or even adults) to imagine what it would be like to have lived in the past. Carole P. Roman has written a great series of books: "An Introduction to Civilizations Throughout Time" and we were given three of these to review. The Carole P. Roman books and collections feature many other titles as well, but I chose three from this particular series because my kids love history and I wanted to help them understand better what life was like during each of these time periods. If You Were Me and Lived in...Renaissance Italy was my personal favorite of the three. ... Continue Reading...
Zirrly Super Beads (Review)
My kiddos love fuse beads (the kind you iron) but they always need me to do the ironing part. Wouldn't it be great if there were some fuse beads that didn't need to be ironed? Well there are and we were given an opportunity to try Super Beads by Zirrly. Zirrly's Super Beads fuse together with water so kids can complete their craft projects without adult help. No dangerous iron needed! Please note: small children will need supervision and assistance, but for the most part they can assemble and spray their creations all on their own. The Super Beads Mega Kit by Zirrly includes ... Continue Reading...
Parenting Made Practical Resources
Fact: Parenting is hard. I've been struggling lately with nagging my kids to obey and cooperate so I was glad to get Taming the Lecture Bug and Getting Your Kids to Think from Parenting Made Practical to review. Since I'm not one to read non-fiction books outside of the Bible, I was very excited that this resource comes in both a book and a DVD! Taming the Lecture Bug is from the "Parent's Night Out" series. It is filmed as Joey and Carla talk to the audience (and us) about what to do when kids and teens disobey. Instead of reminding, threatening and nagging them, I learned how to ... Continue Reading...
Magic Stix Washable Markers Review
Do your little artists love to use markers but forget to put the caps back on? The fun folks at The Pencil Grip, Inc. have come up with a solution: markers that don't dry out even if the cap is left off for up to 7 days! If you are constantly replacing dried out markers Magic Stix Washable Markers may be just what you need to keep your school supply budget in check. We put these markers to the test with this art project. (Source) We turned ours into piranha with some sharp teeth, but of course they can be nice, non-flesh-eating fish too if you prefer. Chalk that one up to having mostly ... Continue Reading...
Our Homeschool Curriculum Choices (2017-18)
Every year in the spring I start researching and choosing our homeschool curriculum for the fall. This is probably my favorite thing about homeschooling (from the mom side of things anyway). I love browsing and comparing and choosing, I even love the ordering and especially the part where it all comes in the mail! First, a little about our homeschooling style and schedule. In Georgia we are required to school 180 days per year. In the past I've tried to use the M-F scheduling method, but with our family's comings and goings we often do school on weekends and I needed our schedule to be ... Continue Reading...
Drive Thru History Adventures
I'd like to share about a great history curriculum that has brought history alive for my family. Drive Thru History Adventures is a full history curriculum we were invited to review and so far we love it! I'll be the first to admit history is my weak link and I struggle with teaching it, but since we started the Drive Thru History Adventures curriculum I feel like history is stress-free. The idea behind Drive Thru History is Dave Stotts (the witty and sometimes hilarious host) drives around, usually in his Jeep, but sometimes in a rental car, and explores the sights of historical events and ...

Keyboarding for the whole family!
In this age of computers it is essential to learn to type, but the program I picked out for my kids originally was very limited and didn't have good foundations, just skippable lessons and some games. Thankfully we were given the opportunity to try (and review) UltraKey Online Family Subscription from Bytes of Learning. So far this feature-rich typing program has been a blessing to our family. My reluctant typists now ask to work on the games and lessons in UltraKey Online! UltraKey Online Family Subscription includes your own URL to login to your personal program. There will be an ...
