Review: ArtAchieve Level 2
As you might know if you’ve read my blog for very long, I am not an artsy kind of gal – biology, genetics, and chemistry is much more my cup of tea! My kids love to do art, and I know I need outside help. lol. We reviewed ArtAchieve‘s Level 1 program last year, so when we were offered the opportunity to review their Entire Level 2, I went for it. I had a great idea of the quality to expect, and we were not disappointed. It’s generally recommended for ages 7 and up. My Sweetheart is 7 (drawing on the right in the top graphic) and Super D…

How to Neutralize the Danger of Smartphones & Watches
I have a pretty awesome brother (and nope, he didn’t pay me to write that). He works for Apple, and he won an Apple Watch at his job for good performance. He suspected that it was the tool I didn’t know I needed, and correctly guessed that I would never buy one for myself. I was so thrilled to receive it, but also cautious. I have a healthy respect for the amount of EMF’s (electro-magnetic frequencies) that are emitted from the devices that we call carry around! EMF’s have been linked to all sorts of brain issues and illnesses. Learn more here: Is EMF Exposure Really a…

Every now and then, a review comes along that we absolutely LOVE and would recommend to everyone. This DVD set is one of those products!! One of our bucket list items is to take the family to Israel, to walk where Jesus walked and experience the land and culture. This documentary, Drive Thru History® – “The Gospels”, created by Drive Thru History®, takes us there. “The Gospels” set includes 3 DVDs with 18 action-packed episodes, each 30 minute in length. It’s beautifully packaged, and a full color study guide is built into the DVD case. My kids are still too young to fully appreciate the level of history, Bible scholarship,…

I Was Brave & It Paid Off
I’d heard of this modality in the world of natural health, and one of my friends even practices it. I hadn’t been brave enough to say, ok my turn! until last week. And, predictably, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! It was fascinating and I actually liked it! So much so that I’m going back again tomorrow! What is this mystery treatment? Acupuncture. Have you tried it? All I could think about were the needles! Ugh!! BUT – they really are teeny tiny! And I only felt them a couple of times. When I did feel them is KEY – because…

Review: Memoria Press First Form Greek
Learning Greek has actually been a bucket list item for me! Swim with dolphins, learn Greek, get my naturopathic doctor degree. I feel like a nerd lol. Seriously though, I always eyed the Greek classes in college and wanted to take them. They weren’t on my degree track though, and I couldn’t justify the tuition costs. Memoria Press has released their program First Form Greek Complete Set, so I begged them to let me review it. Now I’m glad I didn’t take it in college! For mere pennies in comparison to what I would have spent, I have an entire course that I can…

When You Must Avoid Oil Pulling!
Have you tried oil pulling yet? It’s a simple technique that is very good for your oral health! I’ve personally used to help my gums. They were starting to recede (ouch!!) but a little oil pulling fixed them right up! We’re going to talk about how to oil pull, but I want to caution you. If you have mercury fillings in your teeth, DO NOT oil pull until you have them removed! And, please do have them removed. Those mercury fillings are leaching mercury (gah!) into your body!! If you oil pull when you have mercury fillings, the mercury is leached even faster! (double gah!!) How do…

Review: Manhood Journey
In our society, manhood seems to be in crisis. Our 20’s generation grew up in a large number of fatherless homes, and that trend is sadly continuing. The value of the role of a father in a young man’s life cannot be overstated. Churches have long wrestled with how to address this gap and come alongside these young men. This bible study is an answer to that struggle. Not THE answer of course, but a piece of the puzzle. In light of the immense need for father/son discipleship, Manhood Journey & City on a Hill Studio developed a Bible study for fathers and sons. They kindly sent…

Feeling Overwhelmed, Homeschool Mom?
Dear homeschooling mom, I want you to grab your bottle of peace and calming and take a deep breath. If you don’t have any yet, pretend to share mine. I want to share something with you that has been revolutionary for us. What is one of our biggest challenges as homeschooling moms? Getting it all done, right? What if our kids could take responsibility for their own schoolwork? What if they could finish it every day, without us nagging them or having to sit with them every second? And what if they did it to the best of their abilities? Does that sound like a dream? It IS a dream…

Review: Creating A Masterpiece
I have never been an artist. I remember spending hours in various high school classes, practicing drawing horses, while of course listening attentively to the lectures. I tried and tried, but my horses never lived up to my expectations. It’s hard to draw horses as well as C.W. Anderson!! I’ve noticed Creating a Masterpiece at several homeschool conferences, and was always amazed at the art the students produced through their lessons. We were offered the opportunity to review their Monthly Plan and were excited to try out our art skills. One of the things that makes Creating a Masterpiece unique is the vast array of mediums that are…
