I was recently offered the opportunity to review new Christian films. Not being one who likes to turn down review opportunities, I agreed. Then I started to wonder if I was the best person to ask. You see the problem is I haven’t seen many “Christian” films that I like. I have found that most …
The day has come and gone. It was the most anticipated event in our household for months (at least by one certain person.) Our youngest celebrated her 4th birthday. Her birthday was on Thursday, but we had a full schedule that afternoon that started with Kids4Truth at church, which she loves, and where she was …
Have you been seeing this cute cranberry tote bag and wondered how you can get one? Today ONLY you can order either: The May 2010 EXPO to Go (the mp3’s from all the May EXPO sessions) for $19.95 and receive a free tote bag. Or if you’d rather have the most recent October 2010 EXPO …
In my last weekly summary, I mentioned how busy we had been. I also wrote about extra-curricular activities on the Front Porch and how over-scheduled we have been. At the same time, the topic of hospitality keeps coming up. I was the chat hostess for Molly’s talk on hospitality at The Schoolhouse Expo. I’m also …
My younger children both get completely absorbed in what they watch on television. That is a good thing when I need time to work uninterrupted with my older children.

I have a little confession. I know next to nothing about studying art and music. Pathetically little. I’d like to remedy that, and it’s something I hope my children never say. Charlotte Mason suggests very simple ways for adding in picture study and classical music to your days. They are simple, but to someone with …
If you read a lot of homeschool blogs (guilty!) or visit homeschool message boards (guilty again!), you’ve probably seen them. Those amazing schedules that various homeschoolers put together to combine two wonderful history programs, mix the experiments from one science book to various living books, or even combine science and history topics. I’ve tried it. …
We met yesterday to plan our monthly book club meetings for this school year. There are certain topics that the kids love so we repeat those year after year. But we did come up with a few new ideas. I’m looking forward to another great year of book club! Book club plans Oct. – …
Hopefully this will be a title that I want to use frequently! But after a very rough start on Monday, this turned out to be a great week of school for us. Monday was rough because my oldest woke up with conjunctivitis which sent us to the eye doctor in the morning, followed by 4H, …
