Giveaway: Dragons, Legends and Lore of Dinosaurs Book

I am super excited to be giving away a brand new copy of this gorgeous book called Dragons, Legends and Lore of Dinosaurs. I reviewed this book a few months ago. I loved the book so much that I bought a copy for my nephew for Christmas! My children also loved the book [...]

Book Review: Princess Stories by Carolyn Larsen

 

When I saw this beautiful book right before Christmas, I knew it was the perfect choice for my eight year old daughter’s Christmas book. We get each child a book for Christmas, so I keep a close eye out new choices! Well, we wrapped up the book, put it under the tree, and [...]

Read Aloud Challenge – December 1, 2011

Wow, these last few weeks have been brutal.  We’ve read In God We Trust, The Beginner’s Bible, The Preschool Bible, but those are all standard things we read.  The other day I sat down and read the twins a longer picture book, called Cooper and Me: Winter Adventure.  I will be reviewing that one later [...]

Chenille Stems: Fine Motor Skills Builder

I needed to cook supper last night, so I had my ten year old son do a fine motor skill builder with my twins.  I gave him a pack of chenille stems, a strainer, and showed him how to get them sticking chenille stems into the strainer.  Then he made up a bunch of ways [...]

Gratitude Challenge: November 18, 2011

Today I am grateful for reading successes.  Teaching my oldest to read was pretty straightforward and perhaps a little slow because of teacher error.  My next child taught himself to read at age 4, while watching my daughter learn.  I haven’t had to teach him anything.  And then came Anna.  Anna is my precious eight [...]

Read Aloud Challenge: November 17, 2011

This week actually went pretty well for us on the Read Aloud front. We read several more books then usual… We are reading Wisdom With the Millers. This is one book in a series of books about a Christian family and their family time. We also read My Book of Thanks — a picture book about [...]

Book Review: The World of Animals by Master Books

For several years now, I’ve been saying – Why doesn’t anyone publish a really good Christian children’s animal encyclopedia book.  We have at least six varieties of animal encyclopedias on our bookshelf — so clearly these kinds of books are good sellers.  But, not one of them was based on a Christian world-view.  Until [...]

Pom Pom Balls Game; Fine Motor Skills

I’ve been trying to get my two year old twins and my five year old involved in building better fine motor skills now, so that we don’t face occupational therapy down the line. I wish I had known how much more we could have been doing with Anna! I got Anna (my eight year [...]
