It seems that the older I get the less I remember. So frustrating! To forget the name of the place where you had your keys replaced the last time. To know you should be able to remember something that you just cannot bring to mind. To call and get a price quote and then promptly forget what it was. This is my life! Well, about six years ago I came up with a system that is so easy to set up it will make you laugh! Yet as simple as it is, it is elaborately effective. It works! Don't take up brain space trying to remember it all. Instead, let this system remember for you!

Students ages 7 and older will use the ancient method of teaching called catechism! Each lesson begins with asking the question, reading scripture to find the answer, then stick figuring the answer. Since no prior knowledge of the Bible is required, this is a great place to begin new believers. For students with some Bible knowledge, this study will help them gain contextual understanding of the characters and events with which they are familiar, while teaching them additional Biblical facts. Questions deal with biblical facts and not doctrinal issues. A value $19.80 - free!

Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I took my kids to Chick-fil-A for a free lunch last Friday after reading about it in the Freebie Friday newsletter. I have four kids. My middle two took a sheet and used clothes pins to attach the sides. My daughter went in from the back, and we opened a hole for my son to come in the middle and out the top. We painted black dots, added a tail, ears, and cow bell. I used washable markers to make spots on my son's face. He was the front of the cow. My daughter had to grab his waist and walk bent over to be the back side of the cow. We then made some "eat mor chikin" signs to hang off of them. It was a great lesson in team work for them! My oldest and youngest printed cow masks off the computer and put on one of Dad's shirts. They added black paint dots and black dress shoes to their costumes. I put on a black shirt and my son made me an extra cow mask. I wasn't totally cow but was considered part of the herd and got a free lunch. Not only did we get a free lunch but they gave us a gift certificate to come back again for another free lunch. As homeschoolers we like to pull out the educational value, arts/crafts, team work, health/nutrition, field trip, great family memories, and thoughts for how to be cows again next year! I remember you saying you wanted pictures, and I did take one. Thanks! Stacey Lane homeschool mom of 4 ages 12, 9, 7, 3 in Delaware
