Math U See AIM Program- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. We have been long time fans of Math U See. The very first homeschool conference I went to when my oldest was six was in Atlanta and Steve Demme (the founder of Math U See) was speaking. I took said six year old with me to hear him speak. For some reason, I thought sitting on the front row was a good idea. You need to know the ADHD runs deep in our family…

The Easter Storybook- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Every year at Christmas, we make a big deal of celebrating for the whole month. We build the anticipation through celebrating the season of Advent. It is a special time and we have a beautiful book that we use every year to prepare us for the birth of Christ. Every year, I think… why don’t we do this more often? What stops us from gathering and reading in anticipation all the time? I…

How Being a Cancer Mom Prepared Me for Social Distancing
In Januuary 2016, my then six year old daughter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. We were swept up unexpectedly into a world we knew nothing about. I had to quit my part time job and neglect my thriving etsy shop and graphic design blog. Homeschooling changed and looked different. We were uprooted from all things normal and given a new temporary normal. She had surgery to remove the tumor at the end of January 2016. Within two weeks, we were given the news that the tumor was malignant and we had been accepted into St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. At the time, I had no idea where St.…

Homeschool In The Woods Composers Activity Pak- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. I have long loved using lapbooks in our homeschooling. Lapbooking is a great hands-on way for students to research and learn all about a specific topic! It’s basically just a file folder filled with fun little “mini-books” that contain interesting information about your overall lapbook topic. They’re hands-on and make any subject a little more fun! Home School In The Woods offers a variety of products for digital download (perfect while we are…

Math Galaxy- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Oh math… why must you torment me so! Y’all… I barely survived Algebra the first time around. I was one of those students who barely scraped by. They passed me on when they shouldn’t have. I had NO IDEA what I was doing… but I didn’t know how to ask for help. I didn’t know what questions to ask.. so I just kept moving. When I started homeschooling, I didn’t think much past…

Building Challenge Round Up and *Free* Printable
I thought the days of Lego were long gone in our house. My oldest, who is turning 15 this weekend, packed up his bricks and sent them to the playroom a couple of years ago. He used to spend hours building, making stop motion videos, creating, exploring. I cried when he was done. We recently remodeled our playroom to turn it into a giant bedroom for my three girls to share. The Legos were still there, but in tubs, sealed and pushed under the beds to make room for other things… American Girl, Barbie, and the like. Our family has started watching Lego Masters on Fox. I will give a…

The Action Bible Anytime Devotions- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. I don’t know about you, but my kids are all about graphic novels. They like the art and style. And, let me tell you… finding age appropriate, clean literature in graphic novel form has proven to be more than a challenge. It seems that as soon as we find something we like, we turn the page and find foul language or oversexualized content. Enter the Action Bible from David C Cook. We have…

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Who doesn’t love mail?!?! Seriously… my girls offer to go get the mail every day, but I don’t want them to. I like doing it. As I walk to the mailbox everyday, I imagine what might be waiting just inside. Usually, admittedly, it is nothing more than weird advertisements or bills… but still… there is the odd day with a card, a package, a magazine. Mail is just fun! We recently had the…

Unexpectedly Homeschooling
To the parents who just found out your child’s school has been canceled indefinitely… I see you. I know this could be really terrifying… but you are not alone. I don’t know how you feel about homeschoolers… but let’s put aside stereotypes and assumptions… and let’s find where we can help each other!!! The Corona Virus (COVID-19) has reached the status of pandemic. This is a time that allows for much fear. Much frustration. Much confusion. Much incovenience and loss of comfort. Schools are closing throughout the US. I’m not really sure what the implications of that are for the students affected. My heart goes out to the working parents…

What I’m Reading- Venturing With God In Congo
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. To spend much time with me at all will likely result in a conversation involving foreign missions. I have warned many friends not to get too close… There is a pattern in my life that involves sending close friends off to the mission field. This pattern has been in place for almost twenty years. You have been warned. My ears perk and my heart sings with the mention of missions. So, of course,…
