First Day ~ January

By

I will be linking up on the first of each month this year with Nicole at Journey to Josie.


This is a fun way to show our ordinary lives on the first day of each month. It consists of taking photos of all of the normal activities of our day and then writing a post about them. If you would like to join along, link up with Nicole.

Here are photos to chronicle January 1, 2013, for the Taulman family.

This was actually from yesterday. But Eli and our neighbor built this by themselves.

Yummy icicles!

Speaks for itself, no?

More icicles before the snowball fight.

And it's ON!

My sweet niece Ashtyn at the salon while my sister did my hair.

Leftover Chinese food for lunch.

What our back entry looks like when there is snow outside.

Some necessities ... sweet tea and chocolate chip cookies.

My new hair color and cut (actually it looks pretty much the same, just better!) Man I hate the way I look in mirror shots. And, no makeup. Can you say "pale"?

Dawson cozied up watching The Amazing Spiderman with Brynne and I.

Gathering of the Barbies for bath pool time.

Yeah.

Lots of this being taken! Coughs abound!!

My baby Quincy.

The after party in the sink.

My after party once the kids were in bed.

    Laughing at the Barbie fun which makes me sadly nostalgic that my girls have outgrown that. Happy New Year!

    Thanks for giving us a peek into your day. We so wish for snow down our way. Driving to Asheville on Saturday for the day so maybe we will see some in the mountains.
    Blessings

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
