    Nicole, Thanks so much for your kind, encouraging thoughts today. I was very apprehensive about posting it but glad that I did. It isn't a secret and most of my local friends and family know the score. Have a great day.
    Blessings

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.

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...
