The Train-of-Thought Writing Method by Kathi Macias Review
My first thought when I picked up this book to start reading was I had found the perfect tool to make home schooling simpler. I have three small children and this has definitely been an answer to prayer. I have been dreading teaching them writing and this book is an awesome tool even for the most reluctant writer.
As the title suggests this book takes it’s reader on a journey starting with focusing on a theme and than laying the train track. All the exercises in the book are simple and draw you into completing your own story.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this book as a 9. It is easy to read and comprehend. It has solid principles that rely on the authors years of writing, editing and teaching experience.
My mother passed away on 10/21/06.
She struggled with Emphysema and COPD for about 18years.
I am still trying to pick up the pieces so bear with me as I haven't blogged in awhile.

Music Review
Worship music that moms and dads will love too! 15 of the very best worship songs in America chosen by a national survey of 150,000 churches and 100 worship leaders.
My children and I were caught up in worship with the very first song. Each of the 15 songs listed on this CD will captivate you and your children, as well as motivate you to praise and worship! The Cool Springs Kids do a beautiful job of singing and the music is orchestrated professionally.
My favorite song was Breathe it inspires you to realize just how much the Lord does for us on a daily basis. He breathes the very life into us. I was impressed with the quality and depth of this worship CD. My children loved the song He Knows My Name. This song helped them to see that the Lord knows them on a personal basis and made Him seem more worthy of their praise.
If you looking for some kids praise and worship songs for church or even for home, you cant go wrong with this CD. There are no worries, it is kids friendly and parent approved.
On a scale of 1 to 5, this is definitely a 5 in my home.
