With Lee in Virginia: Audio Adventure Review!
I love the way audiobooks can bring stories to life and captivate kids! For the most part, I don’t enjoy reading out loud, so audiobooks are a perfect solution for us! Heirloom Audio Productions offered us the opportunity to review With Lee in Virginia earlier this summer. I’ve been intrigued by their previous productions including In Freedom’s Cause, and so was eager to give this audio adventure a listen. They sent us a beautiful 2 cd set, containing over 2 hours of audio. Heirloom Audio Productions focus on several important aspects in their productions that definitely set them apart. First, they believe that history demonstrates God’s sovereignty…

DIY Chemical-Free Hand Purifier!
No mom’s purse (or diaper bag) is complete without a bottle of hand purifier. But have you ever stopped to read the ingredients on a bottle? One common ingredient is propylene glycol, which is a known carcinogen. I don’t want my kids rubbing carcinogens on their hands – and then eating lunch! Killing cold and flu germs is good though, so what to do? There is thankfully an easy solution! It is surprisingly simple to make your own, with ingredients from your local drug and health food store.

Homeschool Planet (Online Homeschool Planner) Review
Homeschool Buyers Co-op is a homeschool online discount curriculum store! I love finding good deals there! They are homeschoolers themselves and dedicated to finding good resources for homeschooling families. They saw the need for a homeschool planner that was thorough, but where you didn’t pull your hair out using it. So, they developed an online, mobile-friendly planner called Homeschool Planet. I was given a year’s subscription for the purpose of this review, and I look forward to using it to help keep us on point. Like a lot of homeschooling moms, I juggle a lot, and I’d like to use this program for some built-in accountability for getting…

Cursive Logic Review
I picked up a cursive handwriting book for Super D at the beginning of last year, thinking we’d practice. The only trouble was, that particular book showed him letters to copy, but didn’t actually teach him the METHOD behind cursive writing. It expected, I suppose, for him to either learn that elsewhere or figure it out as he went along. Neither of those happened for us, so I was super excited to have the opportunity to review CursiveLogic, a program that actually teaches students how to write in cursive. Linda Shrewsbury kindly sent me her new CursiveLogic Workbook to use with Super D for the purpose of this review. Linda…
