Monday, August 24, 2009 Back To School Giveaway Wednesday, May 20, 2009 Botany & Astronomy Notebooking Journal Giveaway
Apologia is now producing notebooking journals that accompany each of the elementary science books. Both Botany and Astronomy are now available.
These journals are beautiful spiral bound notebooks that will save you time and money. You won't have to print and keep up with your child's notebook pages, buy and maintain page protectors, or purchase and compile binders...everything that makes notebooking time-consuming and labor intensive for mom. Also, your child will adore having their own notebooking journal.
Each of the notebooking journals include:
- A daily schedule for those who like to have a plan or would like their children to complete the book on their own
- Templates for written narrations, the notebooking activities and experiments
- Review Questions
- Scripture Copywork, with both print and cursive practice
- Reading lists and additional activities, projects, experiments for each lesson
- An appendix with beautiful, full-color, lapbook-style Miniature Books
- Field Trip Sheets to keep a record field trips
- A Final Review with fifty questions the students can answer either orally or in writing to show off all they remember and know at the end of the course.
You can see the sample pages here:
Botany: https://apologia.securesites.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=128

Thursday, May 14, 2009 Rosetta Stone Latin Program Contest
Rosetta Stone is the fastest way to learn a language and has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while — and you can WIN the *all new* version 3 Rosetta Stone Homeschool LATIN program… FOR FREE! This is the first year you can get Latin in the brand new Version III update.
This is a $259 program (and believe me it’s worth every penny!)
This is a computer based curriculum and Rosetta Stone will also include a headset with microphone, and a supplementary “Audio Companion” CD so you can practice lessons in the car, on the go, or where-ever! Students participate in life-like conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone incorporates listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and writing along with speaking and pronunciation lessons. For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program to allow parents to easily enroll up to ten students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, grade completed work (the program grades the work automatically as the students progress- I love that!), and you can view and print reports for transcripts. Homeschooling a lot of kids at your house? This program is designed to enroll and track up to ten students (five users on two computers) and will work for nearly all ages — from beginning readers up to college students.
To win this most excellent Latin program copy these paragraphs and post them in (or as) your next blog post, and/OR link to the contest from your facebook page and/OR email the information to your homeschool support group – Then go to the original page http://Jeneralities.com and leave a comment saying that you’ve posted about, or have linked to, the contest. Please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post. |

Sunday, May 3, 2009 Treasure Life Giveaway
As Mother's Day is approaching, you are probably looking forward to showing appreciation to your mom once again and trying to make her day special. Have you ever thought what would happen if your mom chose abortion when she was pregnant with you? Well, the answer is simple; you would not be here today. Abortions destroy approximately 4,000 defenseless human beings a day in the U.S. and 130,000 a day worldwide. Those innocent lives have never got a chance to give their mom a hug, or a chance to live or do anything for that matter. Life is precious; it's a gift from God!!! Celebrate life. Treasure life. Choose life. Your mother did!
My 15 year old daughter is very passionate about saving the unborn (okay, our whole family, not just she :)). She has been participating in Steps for Life (fund-raising event for the Pregnancy Resource Centers) since she was 5. Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRC) help 8,000 women (and pre-born babies) annually through 5 Centers, providing free pregnancy tests, counseling, free Ultrasound (given by RNs), practical help, referrals and real hope (Gospel message) to those facing unplanned pregnancies.
We are offering a giveaway while giving you an opportunity to help this great cause. All (except us parents and relatives) who donate to PRC through Alyssa Liljequist will get their names entered in a drawing to win a brand-new Steps for Life 2008 sweatshirt. The color is yellowish orange and the size is medium. On the back of the sweatshirt is Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Please click here to visit her webpage and make an online donation. If you would like to give but do not want to do it online, please contact me by leaving a comment here or sending me a private message. Any amount is greatly appreciated. The deadline is May 12th. My daughter will draw a winner sometime that week.
Please give those unborn babies a chance by helping their mothers make the right choice!!! Then they will be able to celebrate Mother's Day like you and me in the years to come. Would you like to donate in honor of your mom (you can enter your mom's name, instead of yours)? You can let your mom know that you are thanking her for choosing life by heping others to choose life as well.
UPDATE: The winner (randomly chosen by Alyssa) is Gail Harris. Congratulations! Big thanks to all who have helped PRC help save the unborn!

Monday, March 16, 2009 The Ultimate Blog Party 2009 Thursday, December 11, 2008 A Favorite Christmas Recipe
This month, the Homeschool Lounge is having a giveaway every week. To enter this week's giveaway (from Dec. 8th to Dec. 12th), please share a favorite Christmas recipe.
For those who know me well, they know that I like to cook but I hardly ever use recipes. Whenever my friends ask for a recipe of the dishes that I've made, I always disappoint them. I don't have a recipe...I don't measure ingredients...I just cook :). I have tons of cookbooks but only open them up once in a blue moon. I sometimes just go to www.allrecipes.com, instead for quickness :). Oh, and when I do use recipes, I don't always follow the recipes exactly :).
Anyway, I will share here a recipe (if you can call it that) for "Chocolate Cashew Craisin Clusters." We make these every year to give out to our neighbors at Christmastime.
We melt chocolate and then stir in cashews and craisins (dried cranberries). Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper on a tray/plate and put in refrigerator until chilled/solidified.
What is your favorite Christmas recipe?

Saturday, November 15, 2008 Christmas Giveaway Galore Thursday, November 13, 2008 Fun with Food Saturday, November 1, 2008 Apples of Gold's Winner
Thank you, everyone, who participated in my bloggy giveaway sharing your favorite quote(s) with me. I enjoyed reading them. Using random.org, the random number fell on Wendy. Congratulations to Wendy! She won Apples of Gold. Her quote in her comment was "The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God cannot protect you." This quote reminds me of the following verse:
"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 God's grace is sufficient for us! Let's all take comfort in that. |

Monday, October 27, 2008 Bloggy Giveaway Week
Welcome to my blog, "LivingforGod." I'm joining the bloggy giveaways this week. I hope you will come back to visit here again after all the bloggy giveaway frenzy has faded :). By the way, I'm also hosting another giveaway on my other blog, "Children of Light Christian Academy." Hope to see you there, too.
I collect quotes. I enjoy reading thought-provoking, meaningful quotes. Somehow I ended up with two copies of Apples of Gold (a collection of quotes compiled by Jo Petty). The quotes are about love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (the fruit of the Spirit). I'm giving away one of the copies. It is a used book in like-new condition.
"A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver." Proverbs 25:11
To enter: please leave a comment here sharing one (or more if you like) of your favorite quotes. Please also remember to leave your email address or link to your blog so that I can contact you if you're chosen (randomly) as a winner. The deadline is 9:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on Friday, Oct. 31st (Reformation Day).
Some of my favorite quotes are:
"I am the Vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing." John 15:5
"Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all Your deeds." Psalm 73:25, 26, 28
"We cannot choose whom we will love if we claim to be Christians." Anonymous
"Live in such a way that those who know you but don't know God, will come to know God because they know you." Anonymous |

Thursday, May 1, 2008 Memorable Moment of Motherhood
This is not a good picture (in terms of photographical quality...I used my digital camera to take a shot from an old photo). However, this photo means so much to me because you see...that's the moment "my motherhood" became a reality! The original picture was taken moments after our first baby daughter was delivered. She was born prematurely. She weighed only 4 lbs. 5 1/2 oz. The nurses took her away immediately to hook up a bunch of tubes to help her breathe. We were not allowed to hold her. That was one of the hardest things I had to deal with. My heart was filled with mixed emotions of love, joy, elation, concern, and longing (to hold her and nurse her). In this picture, it was the first time I had a chance to see and touch my baby!!! She looked so fragile that I only used my pinky finger to gently stroke her clenched fist. What a joyous & thankful moment that was to see God's miracle/precious blessing before my eyes! The adventure of motherhood had begun for me and I can't imagine my life without it :). Motherhood is truly a gift from God!
Note: This is an entry for the Mother's Day Photo Contest hosted by 5minutesformom. |

Wednesday, February 27, 2008 What makes you happy?
Pat at Pat's Place is hosting a "Bluebird of Happiness" contest. The deadline is Feb. 29th. What makes you happy?
What makes me happy is seeing my kids doing their best to please God (eg. serving one another, giving money to the poor and the native missionaries in the unreached areas, loving God's Word, memorizing God's Word, and applying God's Word, etc.)
"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." 3John 4 |
