Standing out is not to be feared.

Standing out is not to be feared. This is the best statement of the day. Having a child that looks out of the box. He is always standing out. I used to look at this as a bad thing, but lately God inspired I think. I have realized he is a leader. It is a positive thing, standing out. It means that you are a unique person and not a follower--a true leader.

Waldorf Education, occultish?

Oh please. I use many aspects of Waldorf and Charlotte Mason. I agree with Elizabth Foss here--Kuddos to you, Elizabeth Foss.

I can't wait for this book to come out. This looks like an awesome book. I am biased because I know the author from Catholic Mom and she is an awesome person. I hope she sells alot of this book and has great success!

A Child's Geography: Explore the Earth

We had a fantastic journey through this book. It has discussion questions, along with postcards along the journey. It is written in narrative form and very accurate. It is a Christian Geography study. God is brought into every lesson on how amazing the Earth he created is for us and what an amazing God we have.You start with the Earth as a ball of sphere and go through the layers of the earth, the oceans, and landmasses, through the layers in the atmosphere, and end up at the conclusion with the different zones on the earth. It also has a page on each chapter for extended resources for reading and research. I whole-heartedly would recommend this book for any child. it give a wonderful view of geography. I have already bought Book 2 for next year. What an awesome journey we had through God's divine Earth!
