Last weekend we watched one of our Moody Science videos, Signposts Aloft. The video was about the need for instrument flight in airplanes and how our senses could be fooled without the instruments. They did an interesting demonstration in the video that showed how our sense of motion can be fooled when we can’t see. …
Have you heard about My Audio School? It is a new website filled with audio files of classic books as well as old radio and television shows. The files are divided into chapters and are arranged topically by historical era. A lot of work has gone into compiling this into one SAFE location for your …
As much as I’ve been trying to ignore it, Christmas is coming. I’ve tried putting my fingers in my ears, closing my eyes and humming, but it hasn’t worked. I am going to have to get started on Christmas shopping. Perhaps even harder for me is coming up with ideas to give to others about …
I can’t believe it’s already November. I feel like I have never quite gotten into the swing of things this school year. My plan of "ramping up" to add all of our subjects hasn’t exactly worked. We didn’t get enough momentum to make it to the top of the ramp and apparently slid right back …
Chances are, if you’ve ever searched on-line for a free coloring page or a free worksheet, you’ve found something at abcteach. They offer over 5000 free worksheets for preschool through jr. high.

Summary: Pastor Jason Faircloth knows what he believes. His clear faith, in fact, is why he is one of the most prominent pastors in Atlanta. He relies on it to discipline his daughter, his wife, his church. He prays daily that others would come to see God’s ways as he does. And it is about …
I really love special bath stuff, but I don’t often get to use it. I was so excited to see Virginia Soaps and Scents on the review list for the Homeschool Crew. Finally a review item just for me! (Though I did share with my daughter.) You may be wondering, as I was, why a …
You know that feeling like you’re just starting to get a sore throat? You’re not certain that you’re getting sick, but it seems really pretty likely. I found something several years ago that usually heals my throat when I do it early enough. I have to warn you though. It tastes pretty gross. I gargle …
Last week came and went with no hysterics from my oldest son. Of course that led me to hope for another good week. So far, not so good. On his very first subject, he reacted first to the length of the assignment, then my request to do it neatly. I finally urged him to set …
