52 Weeks Savings Plan Update

By

Did you join up to participate in the 52 Weeks Savings Plan this year? I decided to do it because we do not have Christmas money budgeted and I wanted to make sure we had cash for Christmas. The idea was to put in $1 the first week of the year, $2 the second week, $3 the third week, all the way up to $52 the final week of the year. With that plan, you could have $1378 saved by the end of the year.

I was very diligent in saving the money for several months. Then we started to "dip into it". It dwindled down and down and down. But, I have managed to get it replenished and caught back up. I now have $405 in my savings jar! We will NOT be touching this money, for any reason, for the rest of the year and I will make sure I put my weekly savings in each week.

It takes dedication to stuff that cash into the jar every two weeks. But, when Christmas rolls around I know I am going to be so glad I did!

It's not too late to get started! You might not end up with $1378, but you could have just under $1000! Here's the plan ...

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...
