H is for Healthy Summer Book Club

By

The past two summers I have "led" a book study on this blog. What I mean by "led" is that I read a book and posted my thoughts on it each week. I did have some commenters, and I really appreciated the participation and input!

Two summers ago I read and discussed The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller.



Last summer I read and discussed Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv.



This summer I am shifting gears. I am planning to read and discuss Trim Healthy Mama by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett. It is a "common sense guide to satisfy your cravings and energize your life"


If you would like to join me in the reading and discussion of the book this summer (starting the first week of June), then purchase the book and get ready!


I am linking up with Marcy at Ben and Me.

    Nicole I'd love to join in on this book study but this book is not available from my inter-library loan program, Do you know of any place that sells used copies of it? Amazon & Barnes & Noble have is listed for $35.00 (Ouch!)

      Yeah, it's not cheap. I bought mine from Amazon and it was $31.50. I couldn't find it anywhere cheaper. However, the book is about two-inches thick! At least with Amazon you could get free shipping. The shipping alone on that big ol' book would cost about $10.00, I think. Hope you can grab the book!!

      You can also purchase it in ebook form (pdf, kindle, nook, iPad, etc.) for $19.95. Here is the link to the Trim Healthy Mama site where it can be purchased.

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...
