  • S is for Smiling Sunrise Review

    Vick Wadhwa generously sent me a copy of S is for Smiling Sunrise by Wordsbright to review.   Upon my first perusal, the pictures are beautiful.  I love the illustrations and the colors that are used within.  It has the appearance of a happy photo book.  I am appreciative of the effort that he clearly invested to create an ABC book that would appeal to young children.  My kids enjoyed the colorful pages!   Including a cd with the rhyming song and a downloadable mp3 is a great use of current media options!  The thorough teacher guide, also downloadable from the website, offers questions to ask your preschooler, and suggested activities…

  • How to Garden with No Outside Space

    Would you love to have fresh organic salad greens and herbs at your fingertips, ready to toss into latest culinary creation?  But, you live in an apartment or have a tiny backyard?

No land required.  You can do aquaponics on your kitchen, on your back porch, or in a parking lot.   You can even set it up to run “off the grid” with no electricity required. 2. No chemicals required.  Aquaponics is done entirely organically.  This means it’s healthier…

  • Successful Homeschooling Made Easy Review

    Stephanie Walmsley, author of Successful Homeschooling Made Easy, has worked hard to create an online course for homeschooling moms in order to help us navigate these challenging waters!   I was given a subscription to her 26 week Successful Homeschooling Made Easy course for the purpose of this review, and I’ve had the opportunity to complete 7 of the lessons, as well as a bonus lesson.

  • A Busy Homeschool Mom’s Guide to Daylight Review

    Motherhood is busy.  There’s no doubt about it.  Heidi St. John, in her book A Busy Homeschool Mom’s Guide to Daylight by Real Life Press, extends a lifeline to harried homeschool moms who are trying, every day, to give their kids a solid education that will prepare them well for life outside the nest, and do all the other things that moms do like cleaning, laundry, making dinner, and, let’s not forget, being a wife and a friend. This tidy volume is just the right length.  It’s not so brief that it leaves out important aspects of life & homeschooling, but it’s not so long that a busy mom can’t find…
