Have I ever mentioned how amazing the Beethoven’s Wig series by Richard Permlutter are? Because they truly are amazing. I just wanted to make sure I had told my friends about them. The whole series is based on the idea of adding lyrics to the most famous classical works. The lyrics are witty – hysterical really [...] A friend of mine was visiting today, and she mentioned a “new” method for Scripture memory which I thought sounded really interesting so I went and looked it up tonight at Simply Charlotte Mason. It looks like a cool system, and it sounds like the hardest part would be the set-up. Supposedly it only takes [...] Well! I hope you can just hear the exasperation in my voice.

I am going to describe our morning routine a bit, and then I will also offer some brief reviews of the Bible programs we have used. First of all, we get out of bed, [...] Simply Beautiful. I can think of no better way to describe this gorgeous new book called I am Hutterite by Mary-Ann Kirby. I arrived home to a stack of new books for reviewing, and I chose to start with this one mostly to get it over with as I did not expect to enjoy it. [...] We had a wonderful week at my Mom’s house, celebrating my neice’s graduation, visiting with family, enjoying the “wildlife”, and the great outdoors in general.
