Hermit Crab Cramped Quarters

What an awesome home school experience we had yesterday!!  Our youngest son at home (age 11),
decided that he wanted a Hermit Crab after seeing his nephews.  So we researched Hermit Crabs, and
and he used his savings to buy one.  We actually got to watch as his crab felt around until he found the new, bigger shell he wanted, and saw him move in to his new shell!!  It's rather ugly out of it's shell, but a fascinating miracle of God!

A Chance to Win a "Girls of American History Unit!"

     What a breath of fresh air!!!  We have been blessed to try a new curriculum that is based off of the eight American Girl Collection.  It is a multisensory learning program that is not only fun and educational history wise, but for a family with 9 children, 4 of whom struggle with Dyslexia, it is a perfect combination!  In everything you study, they try to follow the pattern of "Read it, Hear it, See it, Write it, and Do it."
     This is not a curriculum for only girls as there are male characters in each book, as well as crafts and suggested field trips that will entertain and engage boys, keep them interested and teach them history in a fun, educational way.
     If this sounds like a curriculum you'd like to try, or one that will fit your family, they are having a contest starting on March 1, 2013 - March 10, 2013.  It will only take minutes to enter, and it will be worth your time!!!  :+)

Why Do WE Homeschool

Why Do WE Homeschool?

 

(One reason is...)

 

These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

My New Kitten's Brother

My husband surprised me with getting me my Persian kitten's brother!!!  He is a Dwarf Persian, though they are litter mates, full brothers, but you would never know by looking at them. They are absolutely precious, have tiny, quiet meows, are very gentle, kittens/cats that are very intuitive and loving.  They are so different from your average house cats, but I can't do them justice in explaining.
