Dec. 8, 2009 - Another reason why to homeschool
#152 Promotion of Felony Crimes in High School Musical
Can you imagine your children being encouraged to practice a lifestyle that could give them diseases and cost them their lives? Only in our public schools can you get this teaching. When will Americans finally have enough?!!
Dec. 3, 2009 - Movies for Your Holidays
Loved the movie Blind Side. It is based on a true story. My husband remembers it being on the news some time ago. I think it is well worth the ticket.
Another well worth movie is the movie, Up. It is now available for purchase. Pixar has done it again with another great movie. They sure do a great job with story lines. Can't wait to add that one to our collection.
One movie that we had a lot of fun as a family was Mandie and the Secret Tunnel. It took us over a month to wait in line at Blockbusters for it. It is in huge demand. The Mandie series books are Christian books which have a great story line. Unfortunately the movie doesn't mention all the Christian aspects that the writer put into her books. However, the movie is still great.
Another movie is Dawn of the Dinosaurs. That was cute. I was very hesitant about it because the second Ice Age was so distasteful to me. There was way too much potty mouth and other offensive things. But, this one was a pleasant surprise. Much better.

Oct. 17, 2009 - You Will Be Blessed To Meet This Family
I have just been tremendously blessed reading about this family. They have adopted twenty two children in addition to their own three children because of their love for God. Check out this link where I first learned about this wonderful family. I can't wait to get their book.
Living By a Leap of Faith
UPDATE: The book looks great. I just received it in the mail. Can't wait to find a moment to read it. I would love to pass it on for a Thanksgiving gift to someone. Just leave a comment and I will draw a name from a hat on Nov. 20th.

Aug. 24, 2009 - Getting Ready for School
I am working on our lesson plans. I have everything ready to go except Writing. I just purchased the Five Finger Paragraph for Homeschooling. It was a reasonable $39.90 for Teacher and Student editions. Has anyone used it? I would love any helpful suggestions in using it. Also, I am wondering if it goes as high of level as the Writing for Excellence. Will I need to change over for high school writing? I have heard a lot of people love Writing for Excellence. But, it is really pricey, each level well over a hundred dollars. Anyone have any information about either of these? Thanks!!
P.S. There are some great free planners for organizers on: Donna Young planners
