Thrift Schooling

I have a confession to make. I used Abeka to teach my first three kids to read. I know, super creative. It was all I knew with my first two and by the time I had my third I figured it worked, so, I was boring. Not that Abeka is terrible, I enjoyed using their methods to teach my kids to read but my perspective has changed. I now only recommend it if you have one or two kids. Once you add more than that to the mix it is basically impossible. Too demanding. Now that I have been homeschooling for over a decade I have learned that Abeka is not the only method out there. I mean, I learned that quickly for other subjects when it was not working out after the first few years but when it came to reading I was afraid to branch out. I am not sure quite sure why. Now that I have a preschooler and first-grader in addition to middle and high schoolers I am ready to explore my options, and I am glad I did! Now enter  All About Reading 1 . Of course, over the years I had heard about this program ...

  From popular Christian voices, Lisa Jacobson and Phylicia Masonheimer, The Flirtation Experiment inspires you to strengthen your marriage with a fun, unexpected approach that leads to the depth, richness, and closeness you desire.  • After reading The Flirtation Experiment , wives will: • be filled with hope and encouragement for how they can make a powerful,  positive change in their marriages,  • become empowered to pursue their husbands romantically,  • understand the Bible invites women to be proactive in their marriages, • be motivated to consistently love in creative ways, and  • forge closeness and intimacy in their marriages. What I love about this book is that it is written by two authors. One of the younger generation that has only been married a few years and one that is more seasoned with kids (whom I find I can relate to the most). Both perspectives reach a different generation but women from any generation can absolutely glean from both! Thi...

Queen Latifah and Dennis Quaid star in this beloved tale based on the New York Times best-selling book by Kate DiCamillo. When 12-year-old Rob Horton (Christian Convery) discovers a caged tiger in the woods, his imagination runs wild and life begins to change in the most unexpected ways. With the help of a wise and mysterious maid, Willie May (Queen Latifah), and the stubborn new girl in school (Madalen Mills), he navigates through childhood memories, heartache, and wondrous adventures in this heartwarming adaptation.  The following is a message from the cast and the author of the original book thanking educators: https://theavenue.film/movies/ the-tiger-rising#resources Please note: Queen Latifah has recently acknowledged that she has a female partner and that they have together adopted a son. Additionally, there are several uses of the word d--n in this film. Since this is a conservative, family-friendly blog, I feel it is my responsibility to disclose this as you decide whet...
