As part of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, I received online access to Mango Languages to review. I used the Mango Homeschool Edition, with my 7th grade son. The Mango Homeschool Edition we used is the beta version. The final version will have more features that I didn’t have access to during the review period.
Finally! Some signs of spring here in Kentucky! We have had such a cold, wet, snowy winter that I was beginning to wonder if spring would ever get here!
The Daffodils are up!
I can’t believe it’s been a month since I posted Our Homeschool Week in Review! Wow! We have been busy, though.
After many, many practices, many games, and a three day tournament, Abby’s homeschool volleyball team came in 3rd in their division at the State Tournament. They play in a Christian school league, so they play other homeschool teams, as well as Christian schools. So proud of all the girls for their hard work over the very long volleyball season.
As part of The Schoolhouse Review Crew, I received Glow in the Dark Egglo Eggs and the book The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure from Egglo Entertainment to review. I also received an audio download of the book, Egglo Treasures Scripture Scrolls, and a PDF of The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure Program Guide . These products are ideal for ages 4-13, but can be adapted to work with any age.
I didn’t take any food pictures this week. Everything on last weeks menu was good, though. lol
On Hannah’s night to cook she made pizza. She had already mastered the garlic crust. And helped me assemble the pizzas in the past. So this meal isn’t a stretch for her to cook herself.
This week, she is making spaghetti with homemade meat sauce. She never made spaghetti sauce before, so this will be a new challenge for her. Especially since I don’t follow a spaghetti sauce recipe. I just throw stuff in. Taste. And throw more stuff in. lol I think while I”m teaching her how to make it, I’ll actually write down what I do. lol
I have always loved reading Proverbs 31. Oh to be as together as her, to get as much done in a day as her. Lots of days, I don’t feel anything like her! And I’m sure I’m not alone in this. The Proverbs 31 woman sure sets the bar high for the rest of us.
That’s why I was looking forward to reading (and reviewing!) Real Women Leading with Proverbs 31 Values. Now, before you say I’m not a leader, I don’t need this book, hear me out. Whether your a boss at work, manage a home, or a ministry, you are a leader. Sunday school teacher, nursery worker, coordinate volunteers, you’re a leader!
When I was offered the opportunity to receive a When Calls the Heart DVD to review, I was very happy. When Calls the Heart is based on a book of the same name written by Janette Oke. I have loved every book that I have read of hers, and loved every movie that I have seen based on those books.
