Weinberg Bill

I really love how politicians twist situations for their agenda.  Please she understands why we homeschool.  No she does not.  If she did she would not be pressing this bill again.  It looks like we need to be at the state capitol again and make our position clear. Has she even see the sad state of affairs in the school system in our state.  No Mrs. Weinberg you have no clue why we home school.  The school system needs to be revamped, especially the special education department. I go on for many reasons why my children are not in the school system, but why bother, she would twist that too!!!

Review of Faith and Life Grades 6 and 8

We used Faith and Life Grade 6 and 8 this year.  I love this catechism series.  Why?  Well it is very authentically Catholic. It infuses scripture, the precepts of the church, and the Catholic Catechism.  It also teaches about many saints and their Holy walk with God.  It guides you through the facets of our faith.  There are suggestions on Catholic videos, along with prayers that you learn.  You can look at it through Ignatius Press:

To My Daughter

No words can express how proud I am of you.  In a couple of weeks you will be graduating from 8th grade.  What a long ride we had, and yet as I write this tears filled my eyes.  I watched you grow from a shy little girl to a confident young lady.  We saw you struggle in school which lead you to be homeschooled.  As we look where you have started you have accomplished so much.  You are an awesome artist, with Art and in Music.  Even after being diagnosed with a Learning Disability this year, you rose up to the challenge and accomplished so much.  You are the best part of me and I am so proud to be called your Mother.  The Blessed Mother has always shown me the way to guide you.  As you move into High School next year, let her guide you too.  When obstacles in the rode come and they will, look to Her and to Jesus to guide you through them.  I am so proud of you. 

“To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.”

Book Review : The Magician's Nephew

The Magician's Nephew is the first in the series of The Chronicles of Narnia.  It starts with two kids Polly and Digory having adventures going into different world's, through his Uncle Andrew's magic bracelets.  They stumble into this world of Charn, where by accident bring the Witch back into their world. She comes with them into Narnia.  It is very descriptive how Narnia begins, with Aslan's song awakening it.  The children  help Aslan protect Narnia from the Ice Witch.  It kept us glued wanting more.  It did answer a couple of questions for me:  Where the Ice Witch came from?  Where the wardrobe came from?  To find out more read the book.  I highly recommend this book.
