Thanksgiving Wrap-Up

 Argh, I got off track again over Thanksgiving weekend and didn't get my other days of thanks noted here. So, I will finish up these last days of November now.

Day 26- I'm thankful for family who delight in making holidays and birthdays special for ME. As the mom, I spend most of my time making these occasions special for my family, and to have my family want to return the blessing is sweet.

Day 27- I'm thankful for the changing seasons. There is always something new to be found whether winter, spring, summer, or fall.

Day 28- I'm thankful for cozy evenings with my family, watching Christmas movies and enjoying each other's company.

Day 29- I'm thankful for our homeschool band, and the wonderful community it provides for my daughters.

Day 30- I'm thankful for the season of Advent, and the hope it promises.

Thanksgiving Day 25

 Today, I am grateful for the Homeschool Review Crew. This phenomenal group has been a wonderful blessing to our family for many years now. Through them, we’ve had the opportunity to use and review curriculum and resources that we might never had known were available.

The community that this group provides to its members is also amazing. They share prayers, successes, failures, tips, and friendship. I love this group.

Thanksgiving- Day 24

 Tonight, I’m thankful that my teen daughters still want to spend their down time with me. They’re growing up fast, and I love that they still want to carry on our evening tradition of watching our favorite shows and laughing together.

Thanksgiving, Day 23

 Alright, no computer issues so far. I'm good to go. Who else is struggling to be thankful today? I know I have so much to be grateful for, but the events here in the U.S. are absolutely sideways. But here I go, because gratitude can realign perspective.

With that babbling over, today I'm thankful that God is in complete control. These events seem impossible and without a positive outcome, but God is sovereign, and ultimately all will be well.

More Thanksgiving...

 Oh man,

I've had nothing but computer problems the last few weeks. We have, or had, at least, two laptops for me and the girls to use, and the first one completely conked out earlier in the week. My second one is now acting kooky, in spite of a reset. Sigh. I finished my last review on my phone, yikes. Oh well, I'll be computer shopping very soon. All that to say, I'm behind on some postings. I'll start here, and catch up on my Thanksgiving posts. I left off on November 16 so...

16.) Essential oils, because they're so great for so many aspects of our health.

17.) Texting. I'm so glad that we have the ability to connect instantly with friends and family.

18.) Mindless comedy sitcoms. The world feels like it's turned upside down, and sometimes we just need to laugh at something silly.

19.) Families that set up their Christmas lights to blink in time with Christmas music.

20.) Lazy Sunday mornings which is when my husband and I set aside time to drink coffee, read, pray, and talk.

21.) Learning new stories about family members, and the way it makes my mom laugh.

22.) Little dogs that love to snuggle.

CrossTimber - A Crew 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.

Welcome to my final Homeschool Review Crew review for this year! Wow, time flies when you're reviewing fantastic homeschool products! This last one is a fun and somewhat whimsical product that is great for all ages.Do any of you remember the bookstores that had a section with frameable prints that had any and every name, along with its meaning? I loved those, but they seemed to disappear at one point. As it turns out, they didn't disappear! CrossTimber is an online company that will customize all kinds of wonderful gifts with the name(s) of your choice. They graciously allowed our family to choose 5 Name Bookmarks as well as one set of personalized AmazingName Print Activity Sheets to use and review. 

CrossTimber is a family owned business owned and operated by John Dehnart and helped by his family. They provide a wide variety of personalized gifts, including the products I listed above, as well as mugs, plaques, and music boxes. Each of these provides the selected name and its meaning, origin, and a Bible verse. 
When deciding what name gift to order from the website, you will choose from the blue bar menu at the top of the page. They will walk you through all of the steps to create the gift that you want. There are a myriad of design choices available. The difficult part is choosing which theme to use! 
When it came down to choosing our bookmark designs, I first had to decide who would get an extra bookmark, since there are 4 of us in our immediate family, and we were allowed 5 bookmarks. I quickly decided that as lovely as they are, my husband probably wouldn't use one. So, I chose one for myself, and two each for my daughters, using their given names, and their nicknames. 
Did I mention the available choices for designs? There are so many pretty options! I'm telling you, when you order, set aside a good block of time just to browse! 
For my design, I chose a pretty Fall tree nature scene.

For my daughters' first bookmark design, I used their full names, and selected musical notes, as they are both musicians.

For my daughters' second design, I used their nicknames, and went with animal themes. My oldest received a cute ladybug design, and my youngest a pretty butterfly design. Whew! The hard part of deciding was over!

We received our order in a timely manner. I was pleased with the finished product. They are made with a cardstock type of paper, with a glossy finish on the front. I will say, that these will bend and begin to look beat up quickly if you don't treat them gently. Plastic would of course be more sturdy. I'm going to cover them with laminating sheets so we can enjoy them longer. I might also add a ribbon at the top. But overall, I'm pleased with our bookmarks.

Now, the AmazingName Print Activity Sheets are a great gift option, particularly for the younger children in your life, although my 15 year old enjoyed them too. This set is a great way to help littles learn to recognize and print their name through 25 different activity pages. Your child's name will be featured over 80 times through:-Mazes-Word searches-Coloring pages-Handwriting pages

You can order a physical copy of this set, or as a PDF that allows you to use them multiple times.

My teen loves to doodle and color adult coloring books and such, and she thought these were fun. There are more difficult mazes and word searches too that are included, so she did have a challenge here and there.

This set would make a sweet gift too. I know who we'll be ordering a few sets for this Christmas. Aside from holidays, wouldn't these be a perfect activity for long car trips, morning basket time, and quiet times? 

I definitely recommend this company, and their products to anyone looking for a meaningful gift. If I had any suggestions, it would be to streamline the website a bit, to make finding what you want a little easier. There is so much on the website, which is beautiful, but it can be overwhelming when first trying to find what you're looking for.
This is the time to support small business, and I hope that you'll support the Dehnart family and their terrific products!

Julie Naturally - A Crew 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.

Do you practice the discipline of a daily quiet time? Those of us who call ourselves Christians know how important it is to study the Bible, but it does take a conscious effort. Maybe you used to have personal devotions regularly, but lately, you've found that you've slipped out of the routine. You want to, you intend to do it, but well, life seems to get in the way, and pretty soon, you find yourself caught up in the tide of a busy family life. I've been there more times than I would like to admit. I feel the battle of "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak". But, I also want to model the habit of a daily quiet time to my daughters. I want them to learn that busyness is not an excuse to skip Bible study. In fact, I want them to see Bible study not as another thing on their to-do list, but a vital component of life. With all of this in mind, I was keen to receive the Faith Journeys Bible Study Series: Romans bundle and the Faith Journeys Bible Study Series: Phillipians from Julie Naturally to use and review.

Julie Polanco is the creator of Julie Naturally. She has experience working in a variety of roles within the church. Her resources focus on equipping homeschooling families in wholesome, natural living. Her site provides a wealth of information for unschooling, homesteading, wholistic health, and most important, the Christian life.

Both studies require a computer of course, to download and print the studies, a Bible, and a binder. Julie recommends that you print off the pages and secure them in a binder. All material is copyrighted, and is for the use of the buyer only.

This first study is the Faith Journeys Romans bundle. It is an 8 week study, created with busy Christian moms in mind. Daily exercises may be completed in as early as 20 minutes. The study provides Bible passages, questions that relate to the daily passage, videos (for the bundle version only), memory verse cards that can be cut apart and put wherever you like in the house, car, etc., and coloring pages.

Questions from the Romans study

Memory Verse Cards.

A pretty coloring page from the Romans study

The Philippians Bible study follows the same structure as the Romans study. It is a bit shorter than the former, being a 4 week study. Again, you'll find Bible passages, questions, memory verse cards, and coloring pages, this time focusing of course, on the book of Philippians. 

I'm confident that I'm not alone in saying that these days, I've found myself more anxious than usual, and a bit out of sorts. These studies have been a refreshing part of my day. That's what the Word of God does, it refreshes our spirit, and brings our focus back to where it should be, on Him.

Questions from the Philippians study.

I like to have my quiet time earlier in the morning, when the house is quiet, and the day is still calm. I've been using them with my teen daughters, and it's a really good time for us together. I love seeing the growth in my daughters intellectual capacity, and hearing how they see the Scripture applying to their lives. Hopefully, it's instilling  a habit in Bible study that will be a life long routine.

You can use these studies for just yourself, or bring your older daughters in to work through them together. However you choose to implement them, they will enhance your spiritual growth. Check them out.

A Thanksgiving Post

 

Since this is a Thanksgiving post, I figured that I needed to include a photo of a turkey in here somewhere, but surprisingly, all that I could locate tonight was this photo of my girls when they were much smaller. So there you go.

If I'm honest, I haven't felt very thankful these last few weeks, maybe even this year. You would have to have been living under a rock not to understand the world's circumstances this year to not know what I mean, so I'll leave that bit alone.

Anyway, gratitude is an effective way to change a perspective, so I'm going to catch up on this 15th day of November, and share 15 things that I am thankful for.

1.) My husband. He works hard for our family, he loves me and our daughters, and he shows it everyday with thoughtful gestures, like bringing me my favorite water, even going to multiple places to find it.

2.) My mom. I'm so glad that we have a close relationship. She is probably the only person that I can talk to on the phone for an hour or more at a time, and still have more to say. She's the best.

3.) My dad. I'm also so glad to have a close relationship with him. He loves his family so much, and never misses an opportunity to tell us how much we mean to him.

4.) Modern technology that allows me to research my family history, even back to the United States Revolutionary War. I'm grateful to learn about my rich family history.

5.) Hot showers. Researching my family history reminds me of all of the modern conveniences I have today.

6.) Dogs. Our little buddies provide us with such a huge amount of entertainment and devotion. They're a special part of the family.

7.) Chocolate, because, c'mon, chocolate!

8.) Books. It's a gift to be able to travel anywhere and everywhere through a story.

9.) Audiobooks. It's kind of the same, but I'm counting it as different. I love a good voice actor who will make different characters come to life.

10.) Christmas lights. I love the coziness and cheer that Christmas lights bring, especially on a grey winter evening.

11.) Homeschooling. I love having the say in my both of my daughters' education. I also love learning  a few new things along with them.

12.) Music. Like books, music can carry you away...

13.) Fresh flowers, because I love a fresh bouquet.

14.) The simple pleasure of a hot cup of tea.

15.) The convenience of phones, texting, email, face time, etc, that allow us to stay connected to friends and family when we can't get together.

Boundary Stone - Economics Online Course Bundle - A Crew 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.

Lately, as I scroll through various social media platforms, I've seen a recurring theme with parents- the desire to equip their children with life skills that will prepare them to go out into the world and thrive. As parents, we make sure that we provide teaching in math, science, art, language arts, p.e., and more. Those are important subjects, and they are important. But what about courses like economics? I don't see many parents including much of that subject before college. I certainly didn't take such a course in high school. I'm happy that the same will not be the case for my daughters. This month, Boundary Stone provided our family with their Economics Online Course Bundle for one student to use and review. I'll admit up front, that I was as enthusiastic to look this over for myself, as I was for my 16 year old to take it. 

This is a timely and relevant statement.

You will need the following materials for this course:- Clarence Carson's Basic Economics, 4th edition textbook- Whatever Happened to Penny Candy, by Richard Maybury-The Law, by Frederic Bastiat* the course provides a link to a free PDF for The Law if you cannot obtain a copy
You have twelve months to complete the online class from the date of your purchase. Beyond that, you can set up your own schedule and complete the lessons at your own pace. With the exception of the quizzes and tests, which are taken and graded online, parents determine how they will determine grades. There are suggestions in the orientation section if you need some help with that.
The physical textbook for the course (noted above, Basic Economics) is divided into three sections with varying subheadings under each section title. These are the headings:
Section I - The Framework of Economics1 - Why Basic Economics?2 - In the Nature of Things3 - Government4 - Society and Morality5 - Property
Section II - The Production and Distribution of Goods6 - Scarcity and Economy7 - How We Get What We Want8 - A Medium of Exchange-Money9 - The Age of Inflation10 - The Market and Prices11 - Failed Attempts to Control Prices12 - Monopoly and Competition13 - The Means of Production14 - The Entrepreneur and Production15 - The Distribution of Wealth16 - International Trade

Section III - Politico-Economic Systems17 - Manorial-Feudal System18 - Mercantilism19 - Free Enterprise20 - Corporatism21 - Welfarism22 - Communism

The online part of the course is made up of four Units, which are then divided into learning modules. Within those modules are again, varying numbers of lessons and quizzes. 
This is a very interesting course, because while it is an economics course, also included are bits of Bible, history, government, and social studies. So, if you or your student (and maybe especially your student, ha!) are expecting a boring class, you'll both, I'm happy to say, be wrong. Also, the class provides a timely and relevant message for our students. I don't need to tell you about the turbulence we're seeing in our country, and in our world. There is a push by some to abolish our current system, and it is critical that we, and our students understand what that would mean.




Video overview.

Instructor Paul Cleveland.

The online section provides the guide for completing each lesson. Begin with the orientation video. As you watch the clips and complete the steps, you'll mark the sections as complete, and you'll be able to keep track of your progress.

The physical text is well organized. It is divided into modules, for example, 2.1, 2.2, etc. There are pop up boxes here and there with various facts. Also on the side of some pages are vocabulary and definitions, as well as short biographies of historical figures. At the end of the chapter are study guides that offer summaries, main points, review questions, additional activities, and resources for further study. There is also an optional Budget Project that you might have your student complete over the course of the class. Instructions for completing that project are also found in the textbook.



Study guides are found at the end of each chapter

Vocabulary can be found throughout the text.

Whether you are an adult or a high school student, this is a fantastic course! I never would have expected to get excited about an economics course, but this resource is amazing. I'm confident that my 16 year old will finish it with a well rounded understanding of the fundamentals. Next year, I'll have my 15 year old take it as well. As far as I'm concerned, this is a must have in your homeschool curriculum.


You'll find plenty of quotes from historical figures.

Homeschool Code Academy - A Crew 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 know that I cannot be the only person to say that as a 1980 something student in computer lab, I could never have imagined the influence that computers would have in our modern lives. Man oh man. Honestly, I'm still a novice. It doesn't help that the technology is always changing. You know who doesn't seem to get rattled about all of the tech? Our children. I am amazed that my 15 year old can noodle around with a random computer program, app, software, etc., and have it figured out in a snap. That's a good thing too, since programming skills are in high demand in the job market. Of course, there's more to learning technology than goofing around with an app or two. Where do students acquire the skills they need to become proficient in something like, coding for example? There are good programs available, and we had the opportunity to use one this month. Homeschool Code Academy provided us with a 10 month subscription to their Python for Beginners: Learn Coding at Home course to use and review. Let me tell you about it.
This course is perfect for those that have no experience with coding. Suitable ages are middle school to high school age. The lessons are self paced. If your student is a quick study, you might complete everything in one semester, or if you need more time, you might make it a full year class. Students learn with short video lessons that walk them through all of the components of coding, with easy to follow, step by step instructions. After following along with the teacher, they will complete small tasks or challenges.
Matt Bohn is the video instructor. Our subscription is for one student, and my 15 year old volunteered to be the primary user. I sit in to get an overview. Older students like mine will need minimal to no parent help. We have liked his teaching a lot. He goes very slow, explaining in good detail, which is great for us. Of course, since the classes are video based, you can re-watch lessons as needed, but we find his pace great.  

What you'll learn in this course:
IntroductionHardware and SoftwareWorking with OutputWorking with Variables and Keyboard InputDoing Math with PythonLists and TuplesTurtle GraphicsWriting Programs That Make DecisionsLoops-Writing  Code that repeats and CountsRe-using Code with FunctionsGetting Unpredictable with Random NumbersSpace Game Code Along ProjectConclusion
Each of the above titles is basically a chapter, with a number of assignments to work through before moving on to the next. As you work, the course automatically checks each off as you complete it, keeping track of your progress.

You'll be able to track progress and what comes next on your sidebar.

Students are walked through every step in this course.

There are many little challenges to complete throughout the course.

My daughter has a limited interest in coding, and I don't expect to see her doing a lot with it as far as careers go. She does like to dabble in it here and there though, and she has nothing but good things to say about this course and instructor Matt Bohn. She loved that he goes through each topic slowly and thoroughly. Interestingly enough, my husband has overheard us in our lessons, and expressed a desire to check out the class himself. I hope you will too!

NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible - Flyby Review

 "Disclosure: (in accordance with the FTC's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising"):

Many thanks to Telling Ministries LLC and HCCP for for providing this product/product information for review. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.

This review is for the girls, the 8-12 year old girls that is. My family was given a copy of the NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible to use and review. Honestly, even if you're older than the suggested age for this, you'll still be interested in getting one because it's lovely!

This is actually a gift set, and includes a few things that the special girl in your life will love.  

Features:

Complete text of the accurate, readable and clear New International Version (NIV) 

Over 600 verses illustrated in ready-to-color line art.

Four colored pencils.

Six sheets of stickers designed for girls.

Thick white paper for writing and doodling.

Lined, wide margins for notes and reflections.

Satin ribbon marker.

Beautiful screen-printed cover. 

Exclusive Zondervan NIV Comfort Print typeface in a  readable 8-point print size.

                               The book chapters also offer a chance to make it colorful.

Some of the coloring pages take up a couple of pages on their own.

Girls that enjoy journaling and coloring with this set. There are hundreds of verses printed within line art that can be shaded, colored, and blended. Then, they can embellish their art with the enclosed stickers. 

My reviewer was slightly older than the targeted age range, but no matter. She's still a girly girl, and couldn't wait to get her markers on the beautiful illustrations. The cover is a sturdy, velvety aqua color with whimsical flowers in a darker shade of blue with white enhancements. She dove right in, happily using it for her personal devotions. She already has plenty of highlights and notes here and there.

                                       My daughter is a natural born note taker and doodler!

Inside you'll find...the Bible! It's the NIV version, the same as you'll find in any typical NIV Bible for adults. Throughout the pages, in the margins, and sometimes on their own separate pages, are artistic illustrations, designs, and of course, verses. I really like that the overall theme is not ultra phoofy, if you know what I mean. It isn't too "little girly". Not every girl loves pink, right? The color scheme used on the cover actually look rather elegant. This is a Bible that can and will be used for years. In fact, I would happily use and carry this version to church and Bible study. 

                                    The cover is very pretty, the photo doesn't do it justice.

I've taught my daughters that the Bible is a book that can and should be written in with notes and whatever helps the owner understand and retain the message. This Bible already does some of that work for you, heehee. My daughter and I agree that this is, like its title, a beautiful coloring Bible. This will make a meaningful gift for the tweens and pre-teens in your life.

Ok, 2020 has broken me. I’ve disliked, no, hated Christmas for over a decade now, with the above photo capturing my feelings for the holiday. But this year, this crazy, disjointed year has turned everything upside down, and I actually wanted the Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving. 

Maybe it’s because we can’t go anywhere without masking up. Maybe it’s the need to find some distraction. And the fact that the really unseasonably warm 75 degree temperatures made it the perfect time to string up the outside lights. But we did it. And before I even got my Thanksgiving posts up.

Well, we gotta find some fun where we can. Now if we can figure out why the one string of lights won’t light up...

Drive Thru History® Adventures - Bible Unearthed - A Crew 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 are longtime fans of Drive Thru History® Adventures in this household. Through the fascinating courses of this program, Dave Stotts of the above mentioned Adventures has been our tour guide to sites all over the world. We've journeyed to the Middle East and watched the Gospels brought to life, we've observed what the lives of the early Christians were like, visited the Mediterranean region as we studied ancient history, and discovered our roots as we took a virtual look at the birth of the United States of America. It's been engaging, amazing, hilarious, heart wrenching, and awesome. Our studies of these topics have always left us ready for another educational escapade, and here it is! We were given Lifetime Access to their latest course, Bible Unearthed, to use and review this past month, and I'm pleased to tell you about it.

Bible Unearthed focuses on archaeology. Students will learn the significance and history that is found through this subject. Those of you who are familiar with the Drive Thru series will see that this latest course, Bible Unearthed, has a different format than the others. Dave Stotts is still a host, but here he is joined by Drive Thru History writer Randall Niles, and archaeology expert Titus Kennedy, PhD. The video portion finds the three sitting around a table with Kennedy taking the main lead in discussions.

                                           Videos are about 15 minutes or so.

There are 12 "Adventures" to work through in order to complete the course. You'll find a weekly schedule to follow to help structure your week. It is self paced though, so it's fine if you work a bit faster or slower. If you do follow the course guide, students will tackle one Adventure per week. 
Topics covered in this course:
Episode 1 - What is Archaeology?Episode 2 - The Impact of ArchaeologyEpisode 3 - Locating Archaeological SitesEpisode 4 - The Life of an ArchaeologistEpisode 5 - What's Being Discovered Today?Episode 6 - Archaeological MysteriesEpisode 7 - Top Discoveries in Bible ArchaeologyEpisode 8 - Getting Involved with ArchaeologyEpisode 9 - Trends in ArchaeologyEpisode 10 - Weird ArchaeologyEpisode 11 - Accidental Discoveries in ArchaeologyEpisode 12 - Whats Left to be Discovered?
There is also an additional resource that you can add to these studies, especially if like me, you're using this with high school students. Titus Kennedy has a new book out, called Unearthing the Bible, and you can purchase it separately to go with the course. Being the book fanatics that we are, we did, and it's really good!

The way that you approach the class will differ depending on the age of your children. If you have younger ones, you may decide to simply watch the videos. Older ones will be able to tackle more, so you can have them read the articles, complete the worksheets, and any additional activities. This is what a sample week might look like if you include all of the assignments:
Monday: Watch the episode. Read the written exposition/breakout materials.
Tuesday: Complete the optional activity, if there is one.
Wednesday: Read the Dig Deeper articles, and research if there is any to complete.
Thursday: Review Day, watch the episode again, look over the readings.
Friday: Complete the worksheet, check your answers.



                                              Written expositions enhance the video lessons.

                                           Weird and cool archaeology - the Easter Island heads.

In our excitement to start our Adventures, we initially sped up our pace. We went through our first viewings of the videos in two weeks, lol. Now we're backing up again for a more thoughtful study, and using all of the digging deeper features. 



               This is a Biblically based course, so you'll find regular Scripture readings included here.

Dig Deeper articles are insightful.

Now, what do we think of this latest venture? I'll start with my oldest, the 16 year. To come right out with it, she dislikes most school. She'll do it, but with the exception of a very few subjects, she would rather not, ha. So, imagine my delighted surprise when she came out with enthusiastic praise for Bible Unearthed! In her words, it took an episode or two to adjust to the different format of this course versus other Drive Thru History series', but she found the lessons interesting and insightful. You would have to know her to understand, but that is a big compliment, especially since she generally avoids the subject of history as much as possible. 


Example of the worksheets. This semester is fairly writing intensive for us, so we've been using them as an out loud discussion guide. My 16 year old seems to retain more information this way too.

                                         The accompanying answer guide for the worksheets.

My youngest, the 15 year old, is also a big fan of Drive Thru, and particularly loves the humor that Dave Stotts brings to the table. She also is really enjoying reading Kennedy's book Unearthing the Bible, and my husband has already put in his claim to read it next.
I love it for many reasons. The short answer is, it isn't boring. Interesting videos, infused with humor, well written articles that are written in a way that isn't stuffy and boring, colorful photos, and engaging activities, all contribute to a fascinating course. Simply put, it piques one's curiosity.
For those that sign up for the course, there is a Facebook discussion group where members can discuss topics and share ideas. It's a great community, and you'll enjoy even more content.Suffice it to say, we continue to love our experiences with this company. We've enjoyed our virtual travels, and we look forward to hopefully, many more! As far as our family is concerned, this is a curriculum that is a must have.
