In the Hands of a Child Review & Giveaway
Posted by Chris | 0 comments
I know there is a wonderful variety available when it comes to homeschool geography courses. Despite (or maybe because of) all the choices, I have been stymied in my efforts to find one that works for my son. Since necessity is the mother of invention and I am the mother of an active 13-year-old boy, I have been crafting our...
A New Kind of Pen Pal: Review & Giveaway
Posted by Chris | 3 comments
I think every child loves having a pen pal. Do you remember breaking out the good stationery to write a faraway friend or even a neighbor down the street? I sure do. I had pink and green plaid trimmed notepaper and I think I mailed it with a 13-cent stamp. (It’s OK to laugh.) It’s so much easier now, and much to the chagrin...
Art Class at Home: Review and Giveaway!–Closed!!

See the Light’s program brings the master teacher to you. I am teaching algebra to my son this year. If you know me, you know this is a big deal. A couple of years ago, it would have made as much sense as saying, “Hey, look, I taught him to walk on the ceiling.” However, despite my newfound confidence in many subjects,...
“Most” is More Than Meets the Eye—Closed!
Posted by Chris | Comments Off
I am not often speechless (just ask my husband), but truly, I am not sure how to begin telling you about “Most: The Deluxe Edition.” This short film is a simple allegory but on screen it becomes so much more. “Most” is Czech for “the bridge” – a literal and figurative bridge, in this case, that calls for...
The Narnia Code DVD–Closed!!!

C.S. Lewis still keeps us guessing It’s no secret that I love C.S. Lewis and I know so many homeschooling parents share that feeling. We relish the levels of Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia – the stories that are rife with fantasy and details that only brush the surface of the deeper allegory that still makes my heart skip a...

At my church last Easter, an artist painted an amazing picture of Jesus’ face wearing the crown of thorns. He painted it live, on stage, as we sat mesmerized. Each brushstroke revealed a little more of the final image – wide swaths of white paint on an oversized black canvas, punctuated with red. The message was loud and...
“Your Backyard” by Crowe’s Nest Media Giveaway–Closed!!
Posted by Chris | Comments Off
What’s that sound? “Your Backyard” turns a bird’s song into so much more Teakettle, teakettle, teakettle. Living in South Carolina, I hear that sound – the call of the Carolina wren – often, but honestly, I am not very good at distinguishing the calls of other birds. Thanks to “Your Backyard” by Crowe’s Nest...

Who better to teach us than his sheep? Really woolly? It sounds like a winter sweater, but its warmth is longer lasting and perfect for little eyes and ears. The “Really Woolly Kids” video series from Dayspring teaches children truths from the Bible through the adventures (and misadventures) of sheep Gracie and Jacob....

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night… “Letters to God” shares hope and redemption We communicate through e-mail, texts, tweets and Facebook messages, but sometimes a handwritten letter says it best. The movie “Letters to God” is the story of a young boy’s prayers, in the form of letters, sent to...
