<span style="font-size: large;">Hello blog world! I have another great Timberdoodle review for you today from <a href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/mosdos-press-literature-jade-7th-grade?utm_source=timeless_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=mosdos">Mosdos Press Literature</a>. I have never been disappointed with ANY products from Timberdoodle - but this curriculum might be one of my favorites yet! We take education pretty seriously around here - maybe even a little too seriously, I'm the first to admit it. One of the reasons I love Timberdoodle is that they incorporate FUN into learning. This literature kit has been a breath of fresh air!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The kit <a href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/mosdos-press-literature-jade-7th-grade?utm_source=timeless_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=mosdos">"Jade" is designed for 7th graders</a>. They have many levels all named after gemstones - how fun is that? They have six levels ranging from third grade to eighth grade. Each level comes with two volumes of a teacher guide, the student text and the student activity workbook.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">What do I love most about the program? Well - there's a bit of a story here. I mentioned above how we take education very seriously? We are pretty devout on classical education with a Charlotte Mason twist. We study age old classics in literature, theology and history. The foundation of our curriculum is rigorous and thorough and steeped in historical values and traditions. While there is SO MUCH GOOD in that, Mosdos has taken that SO MUCH GOOD and brought it to today's standards. </span><a href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/mosdos-press-literature-jade-7th-grade?utm_source=timeless_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=mosdos"><span style="font-size: large;">This literature kit</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> covers everything from the old classics to the brand new favorites - in a very fresh, fun and so easy to incorporate kind of way. When I was given the chance to review this kit, I was completely intrigued as I have had my eye on it for quite a while. I was hesitant to veer off our solid classical literature curriculum we have followed throughout Boo's entire education. So we actually ADDED this on to her regular course load. That is something I would never recommend to any homeschooling mom, but it worked out well for us. We used this whenever we had some extra time. We found that we LOOKED for extra time because we enjoy these stories so much! We actually looked forward to doing this bit of our school day together.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While we always have a great classic read aloud going at any time, one we read aloud from almost every morning over coffee and breakfast before we start our day.... this one is great because we can take a half hour or an hour from our day and take turns reading aloud these stories and actually finish them! Towards the end of the book there are longer reads which we will enjoy just as much - but for now we enjoy that they are short easy reads. They are so enjoyable, and so different from what we are mostly used to. We have enjoyed exciting stories of a 12 year old boy suddenly having to land a plane by only given instruction from the control tower, to stories of a mongoose to stories that are more rich and classical, to poems both old and new. Right now Boo is reading classical works in her other programs that are easily used in high school, college and beyond - which is super fantastic if your kid is wired to think and study that way - but what I love so much about this kit is that every story is directed right at the 7th grade level. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The workbook covers all the things you might think of related to literature - recognizing plot, defining character, exploring setting, understanding theme, writing activities, vocabulary words and so much more! This is absolutely able to be a stand alone curriculum and will cover everything a literature curriculum should. You can also use this very easily as an enjoyable read-aloud together, or independent read and workbook for your student. The beauty of this is it can be so easily implemented either way. We do both depending on how heavy her other studies are at the time. But one thing is for sure - we both <a href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/mosdos-press-literature-jade-7th-grade?utm_source=timeless_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=mosdos">LOVE using this book</a>! I couldn't recommend it highly enough. I honestly even pick up this book sometimes just for pleasure reading.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We have enjoyed so many brain puzzles by Thinkfun through the years and this one has a fun new twist. My married 24 year old daughter enjoyed it just as much as my homeschooled 12 year old daughter! Dad even took a turn or two at solving the puzzle.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The <a href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/color-fold-game?utm_source=timeless_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=color_fold">Color Fold</a> puzzle comes with 40 different challenges ranging from Beginner to Expert level. The back of the cards show the solution if you need a tip or you just want to see how it's done. That was really helpful for the first time or two you were solving a puzzle. Also - the self correcting nature of it lends itself to independent learning play for younger ones.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Their first dance. They danced to the song by Ed Sheeran "Perfect". It was a brand new song then, and now I hear it ALL the time, but every time I do it takes me right back to this moment and I stop and listen to every word of the song. It was so fitting for them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The father of the bride speech. Oh wow this was one for the books. My hubby is a man of very few words, but when they finally come out - they are PROFOUND! A year later, I still have friends and family commenting on how moving his speech was. He made us laugh, he made us cry, he made every life moment leading up to this point all come together in the most beautiful way. He actually gave me permission to share it here - and I'm so glad that we will have it forever on the blog that has become more of a family scrapbook! </span><br />

<span class="s1"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Hello, my name is Richard and I am the father of this beautiful bride.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Heather and I want to thank you for joining us to celebrate the marriage of Kirsten and Tim.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Many of you traveled a long way for this, and your presence here makes this day extra special for Tim and Kirsten.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I’m especially thankful that our Florida family survived Irma-geddon and were able to make it here to celebrate #FinallyFaulkners with us.</span></i></span></div>

<span class="s1"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Those of you who know me know that I am not an emotional or sentimental man.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I’m usually reserved and rather stoic, and I’m fine with that, although Heather gives me grief about it on a regular basis.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>But tonight, I’m struggling to hold back the tears.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Not because I’m sad or upset that Kirsten is now married, or that I don’t like Tim or whatever.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>On the contrary.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I’ve never seen two people who were as meant to be together as Tim and Kir.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>They met on their first day of college and it was pretty much love at first sight.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Even though I advised her to keep her options open after Tim called me that first week to ask if he could date my daughter (as if saying no would have done any good), for Kirsten, Tim was the only option she wanted.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>And Tim knew exactly what he wanted too. You’ve got to respect how Tim quickly zoned in on Kirsten out of probably 300+ other girls in that Freshman class, had the confidence to go after what he wanted and got her. Tim, if you could turn that into a “how to” book, you’d have a best-seller!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I’ve seen their love grow over the last 4 years.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I’ve seen how they complement each other in every facet of their lives.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>And I’ve seen how kind, respectful and loving Tim treats my daughter.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Now, Kirsten has this innate ability to go from zero to 100 on the emotional speedometer in about 2 seconds flat, and that’s not always a pleasant experience for those of us in the line of fire.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>But, Tim is like the Kirsten-whisperer.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>He knows just what to say and do to calm her back down, and that is something even her mother and I never mastered.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>They bring out the best in each other and while neither of them are perfect, they are both perfectly made for each other.......</span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The wedding was absolutely magical in every way. It was an absolute dream and could not have been more perfect. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy First Anniversary to Tim and Kirsten. May your marriage be as passionate as your very first year, yet grow and strengthen into a familiar and comfortable love that you can only find in each other. May you weather the storms (and hurricanes!) and come out the other side stronger than before. Keep Christ first, each other second and everything else will find it's proper place. We love you and are so looking forward to continuing to see your love for each other grow into something more beautiful as each year goes by. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As a special part of the wedding ceremony, Kir and Tim did a tree planting. They asked each parent and grandparent to bring some soil from their yards, including the yards Tim and Kir grew up in. During the ceremony, each mother and grandmother came forward and poured their soil into the pot that Kir and Tim would plant their tree in. It was a beautiful picture of two family "trees" being joined together into one. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps the sweetest moment of all was when the littlest sister Boo started getting teary as soon as she saw her sister walking down the aisle. Her tears continued on and off throughout most of the ceremony. They were happy tears and she was so confused by them, which made it even sweeter. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Side note: The week leading up to the wedding had us all on the edge of our seats as a massive hurricane was heading straight toward Florida where ALL of our family would be traveling from. Thankfully almost everyone still made it to the wedding, but the soil that was collected from Nana and Papa's yard was still VERY wet from all the rain. Nana had quite a bit of trouble getting hers to come out of the jar! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One year later, their little pine tree is growing and thriving. They plan to take a photo with their tree each year on their anniversary. Right now it's in a large pot and when they buy their first home they will plant it there. I can't wait to see the future pictures of how big that little tree gets! It's such a beautiful analogy of not only their family roots, and starting a family "tree" of their own, but how a marriage grows through careful attention, love and nurture. </span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love how Punkin included books as part of the centerpieces. She has always had a deep love for reading and classical literature. She wanted simple and natural arrangements in a casual weathered box. I just appreciated how it was such a sweet representation of who they both are. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love this photo - our bride and groom just beginning their journey of marriage sandwiched in between their parents who have been married for 26 and 30 something years. We prayed for Tim long before we ever knew his name. There were times as Punkin was growing up that I felt a sudden urge to stop immediately and to pray for her future husband, and I did just that. As we have shared stories with Tim over the years, I know without a doubt that some of those times matched up to times in his life when he needed our prayers. Those prayers and so many others like it, along with the grace of God, led these two to each other.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As we are approaching Kirsten and Tim's first anniversary I decided it would be a great time to tell the story of their wedding, from the perspective of the mother-of-the-bride, of course. Their love story is so beautiful and their wedding was filled with such special moments that I wanted to be able to document it in a way other than just photographs and video. I will be doing it in several different posts because there are so many beautiful photos to go with the story! A huge thank you to Leah Rhianne Photography for her beautiful work in capturing such a special day for us. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">September 15, 2017 was a beautiful day - from beginning to end! We had perfect weather and all the hard work of planning out every detail ahead of time really paid off. Friends and family gathered from near and far to help us celebrate the big day. We gathered at our home before heading to the venue to finish getting ready and had a luncheon prepared and organized by my sweetest friends. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When Punkin turned 13, I took her on a special Mother-Daughter horseback riding weekend trip. (Horses speak her love language!) During that weekend we talked all about growing up, boys, dating, purity, what to look for in a husband and her future marriage. She made some decisions that weekend that set her on a path to her future husband. Her dad and I presented her with these two special charms that weekend and told her that we would keep the "key" part of this charm and she would keep the "heart" until the right time. She chose to guard her heart and only ever give her heart to one man. Entirely through the grace of God, she was able to remain true to that promise. Her Daddy had the incredible privilege and honor to hand over "the key to her heart" on the night of her wedding. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Punkin's very best friend since they met when they were four years old was her maid of honor. They have been through so much together - from soccer games to Sunday School, from horseback riding to school field trips, from sleepovers to trips alone to Germany, from Disney World to Paris, London and Rome, they have done it all together. Thank you for standing by her side on her special day Madison Webb! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Kirsten and Tim's love story has so many sweet details - just one of them includes this perfume. Punkin's senior year of high school provided her the opportunity to travel to Europe to see so many of the places she studied about during her classical education. After she met Tim, they realized that they were both traveling in Paris at the very SAME time! He was on a school trip to Paris with his french class. They even visited a perfume shop (memorable because it was a tourist hot spot with the tour guides) on the SAME DAY! Punkin bought this perfume there that day, a day that she and her future husband's paths may have crossed on the other side of the world. How fitting that it was the fragrance she wore on her wedding day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This was such a beautiful part of our getting ready time. A perfect Cinderella moment - and so fitting because Kirsten takes her oldest sister role quite literally. Her little sisters are usually (<i>read sometimes</i>) happy to oblige in her requests (<i>demands</i>). This picture is such a sweet representation of their sister connections. They really do get each other in a way that no one else does. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the little details that probably went entirely unnoticed was the very special pearl and sequined clip that was attached to Kirsten's bridal bouquet. That was one of the clips attached to MY white satin bridal shoes as I walked down the aisle to marry my husband on March 7, 1992. (Fun fact, I met my husband on July 14 and Punkin was born on July 14 four years later.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Kir and Tim had a very sweet stolen moment alone before the wedding when they did a "first peek". They wanted to be completely alone, but most of the family members were able to sneak a peek from the upstairs windows or from behind a distant tree. Seeing their deep love for each other was one of the sweetest blessings of the day for me. As a wedding photographer myself, these first peeks are always such an honor to be able to capture and be a part of. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here we are again, back to school! As a mom to three girls, this is my 18th "back to school" year. CRAZY! This has been one crazy year, a year that I took off from blogging but I'M BACK! There is more to come on the reasons behind that and so many other fun things to post about so stay tuned! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is most likely our next to last year homeschooling - potentially even our last year. Who knows? Our plan is for Boo to attend high school somewhere. We have ALWAYS taken things a year at a time regarding their education. There have been years we have had one in private, one in public and one homeschooling. Do what works for your kiddo! Boo is an absolute delight to homeschool because of the way she is wired. She is super driven, more responsible than I am, and excels in her academics in a way that makes homeschooling a perfect fit for her. I am learning right along with her in most of her classes this year. There has never been a better time to homeschool because of the amazing amount of resources available. She takes most of her classes on line, some self paced, and some live. She has a few outside the home classes such as Latin, Art, and P.E. (which equals about 20 hours per week of dance classes!) Her academic course load this year is INTENSE - but even so, homeschooling lets her still have plenty of time to just be a KID! This is something that is super important to us. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have followed our blog for any length of time, you know that we educate our girls classically, from a christian worldview, with Charlotte Mason methods thrown in. This year marks the jump in classical education from the grammar stage to the logic stage, which means the beginning of Omnibus. Omnibus is a Latin word meaning "all encompassing". It's basically one course that covers history, literature and theology all in one. The books covered in this course BOGGLE MY MIND. We actually started this course a few weeks ago since it was new to us and we thought a <i>soft start</i> would make it a bit less overwhelming. So far we are both really enjoying the course. In classical education, history is studied chronologically - starting from creation to present. She completed the entire cycle in the grammar stage, and now we start again in the logic stage at the beginning and work through it again, and it is then repeated again in the rhetoric stage. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Omnibus really makes you THINK. We have both enjoyed the conversations that are stemming from these studies. Right off the bat we are grappling with huge ideas such as predestination vs free will - not a light subject! More than a right or wrong answer to these questions (which I believe that this subject is actually a non-essential to the christian faith), I truly love how it makes us THINK. Just because our curriculum is grounded in christian faith doesn't mean that this is the only thing that is taught. We learn everything from lots of different angles - we see what the Buddhists will have to say about things, what gnostics might think, evolutionist ideas or even an atheistic approach to hot topics. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our readings this year will not be light! But the course is designed for a 7th grader, and is the same curriculum Boo has used from the beginning - so she is WELL prepared for it! I will do a separate post detailing out our curriculum for the year with plenty of links. We are also official Timberdoodle bloggers again this year so there will be lots of FUN homeschool product reviews this year as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This year begins our formal studies of Logic! YAY! My older girls always enjoyed this subject so much and I know Boo will too. We have DVDs that we will watch for each lesson so I'm looking forward to learning right along with her. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you ask Boo what her favorite subject is, she almost always says LATIN!! She has the best Latin teacher in the world. Mrs Thompson is an absolute GIFT to us. Boo was lucky enough to have her first Latin class also fall on her first day of school this year. This is her fifth year studying Latin and this year there are a total of 8 kids in her class - a new record. She is so excited. Here she is with her original Latin buddies - they have taken class together from the beginning, and have been friends since pre-school.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is our third year starting our mornings off with CNN10 - a quick ten minute news segment geared towards middle and high schoolers. I've been amazed at how much Boo learns about what is happening in the world through these quick news segments. It's a highlight to our day and we almost never miss it. It's truly unbiased news if you are looking for that - TRULY (even for CNN!).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Don't you just love fresh new beginnings? I'm so ready for one. There is just something that speaks to the soul when we have a blank slate in front of us, with fresh new pens and pencils, and a heart full of eager anticipation of what the next chapter will hold. To all of you mommas with littles heading off to kindergarten or to college (thats me!) I hope you soak up every moment of this coming school year with eager anticipation and everything that will fill their little hearts and minds. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our first Timberdoodle product for this school year is the <a href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/dot-to-dot-philadelphia?utm_source=timeless_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=dot-to-dot_philadelphia">We Are Connected Dot to Dot Philadelphia!</a> We have always loved any kind of extreme dot to dot book around here - especially when they are so educational. This book we received from Timberdoodle is all about the city of Philadelphia. There is a map on the back of the book that shows famous landmarks with the corresponding page numbers. We have actually spent some time in Philadelphia quite a number of times these past few years so this book helped "connect the dots" quite literally to places we have actually been! So fun! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am always on the look out for simple activities that don't require too much brain work for read-aloud times or other times when we need to just keep our hands busy but still able to engage in listening or communicating or just being together as a family. This book kept the interest of both my middle schooler and my soon to be college bound student (insert mommy tears here). Honestly, I even enjoy doing these dot to dot books myself - they can be very satisfying! The recommended age is 8+. You can even color them when you are finished. The dots range anywhere from 156 to 1,690! Incredible! Some puzzles even spread across both pages. </span></div>

A great activity for the entire family. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The kit comes with dense foam pads that you can adhere a piece of card stock onto the back of so that your pins don't go through. The pad is printed with these tiny faint white dots that you push the pins into. So much easier than the way we did it back in the 70s with wood, velvet, nails and a hammer! This is MUCH easier on the fingers! :) The best part is you can sit down and with just a bit of time complete this project in just one sitting. The way we did string art long ago was much more time consuming.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The kit states ages 10 and up and I think that is a great guideline. While it is a pretty easy activity, my 11-year-old and even the 17-year-old were getting frustrated with the string easily slipping off the pins. It definitely takes a bit of fine motor skills (and patience) and would be great if you are looking for something to fine tune those skills! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am so honored to once again be a 2017 Official Reviewer and Blogger for Timberdoodle! Timberdoodle is one of my favorite resources for "crazy smart" homeschool supplies and curriculum. We were recently asked to review the <a href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/dr-bonyfide-presents-bones-set-of-4?utm_source=timeless_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=dr_bonyfide">Dr. Bonyfide Presents Bones</a> book series. We have been a long time fan of the Dr. Bonyfide books. They are so entertaining while at the same time wonderfully educational (like most Timberdoodle products are). These books are full of kid friendly rhymes, games and puzzles all while learning about the bones of the body. Timberdoodle has included one book in each of their curriculum kits from third grade to sixth grade. This is a GREAT age range for these books, but you can use all four books at any level. Even the grown ups in our house enjoy them! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These books are excellent quality with thick pages and have fun and silly illustrations. There are Latin word roots, pronunciation guides, wise quotes, clever animations, puzzles, games, cartoon stories, and wonderful ways to teach your kids how to stay healthy, fit and active and make healthy life choices.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Boo has discovered her absolute passion in learning all things dance (except tap - but we won't discuss tap....ahem). This summer her dance studio has been teaching an anatomy class that has lined up perfectly with us reviewing these books! I continue to see God's hand in our homeschooling journey and I am always fascinated when things like that happen. </span><span style="font-size: large;">She has been spending time with a replica skeleton at the studio and learning songs about the bones and muscles in the body. These books just continue the fun at home! Of course we have to re-create the pictures we see in the books.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's crazy how fast time flies. I remember when I was young and heard older people tell me this and I would internally roll my eyes at them. Yeah, now I know what they were talking about. Funny how life has a way of doing that to you - the older you get, you realize the less you know. For our 25th anniversary we decided to cross a bucket list item off - the Grand Canyon! It was an incredible trip with lots more than just visiting the Grand Canyon, but for now I just want to share these images we had done by a photographer on the Sky Walk. It was an amazing experience - you had to wear special little shoe covers to keep from scratching the glass skywalk that gave you an unbelievable view. </span></div>

So - here's January - at least the parts I took pictures of. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite things about looking back on my blog is seeing the everyday little moments that didn't mean much at the time, but mean so much in the years to come. Not only will I want to remember Boo on a rocking horse (left over prop from a baby photo session) with her puppy -but I love seeing my man in the background and a teenager in the fridge. The days are long but the years are short....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, Punkin spent several wonderful weeks at home before she had to go back for her FINAL semester in college before she graduates in May. There was lots of time spent wedding planning, watching Netflix, helping homeschool, and a fun weekend trip. Banana has been SOOO busy with schoolwork (taking almost all AP and honors classes this year), spending some time with the school drama, spending time with her friends and small group and working at (our favorite place) Chick-Fila. We were so worried she (or we) might get tired of the Fila, but her devotion and addiction to that yummy chicken has only multiplied! The bigger kiddos don't allow me to take pictures of them like I used to - especially that middle one!! But alas, we are all enjoying each other (most days) and doing life together, and documenting it all here to enjoy in the days to come. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We had a very exciting Christmas season this year as Boo was in her very first Nutcracker ballet with Harford Dance Theatre. She was a party girl in the opening scene, as well as the mouse that steals the Nutcracker in the battle scene. She was originally cast as a Ginger child but was unable to accept that role due to a conflict with her company dance schedule. She had a ball and is looking forward to many more Nutcrackers to come! I was honored to be able to capture the entire show in photographs. Boo was able to dance with several of her friends which made the experience even better. Here she is with her friend Kerrigan. </span><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CMogsGJGmyE/WGMZh8HVVcI/AAAAAAAASXk/mMjfS9W0ftgwbQP2gfEgSIR74kcJY1XfgCLcB/s1600/IMG_2608w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CMogsGJGmyE/WGMZh8HVVcI/AAAAAAAASXk/mMjfS9W0ftgwbQP2gfEgSIR74kcJY1XfgCLcB/s1600/IMG_2608w.jpg" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My Boo turned 11 on 11-11!! It was her golden birthday and she had a ball. She came up with the EMOJI theme for her birthday and planned out every detail. I basically just followed directions! At first I thought she was a little nuts but it actually turned out super cute. What tween doesn't love emojis, Instagram and hashtags!?!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">She even came up with this balloon idea from spending lots of time scouring Pinterest of course! We sat in the driveway one day putting handfuls of sparkly confetti inside deflated clear balloons. The day of the party we added a few drops of water and blew them up and the confetti clung to the sides perfectly! I was dreading one of them popping inside the house, but somehow not one of them did! AMAZING. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have jumped into 5th grade here at our little homeschool! We are a few weeks in and things are going great. I often get asked about curriculum - it can often seem like the curriculum defines your homeschool, but it really is the other way around. Curriculum is just that - a tool to use to teach your children. Over the years one of the best things I have learned as a homeschool mom is that I am in charge of the curriculum, it is not in charge of me. As you look through all the great things we are using, remember we don't necessarily do every single page in every single book. I believe offering a great feast of learning before a student can be rich and fulfilling, as long as we don't let it become overwhelming. Boo is an eager and independent learner, so it's important that I stay a step ahead of her in what I have to offer. I always love sharing with my blog readers all the fun things we have planned for this year! Enjoy! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This year, as part of Timberdoodle's Blog team, we have been able to incorporate so much more fun, hands-on, kinesthetic type of learning to our more tried and true classical and Charlotte Mason inspired learning. This post summarizes our core curriculum - be sure and click the link at the bottom to see all the great supplemental Timberdoodle products we are reviewing this year as well. Here is what we are using this year!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0000ee; font-size: large; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.veritaspress.com/selfpaced/">Veritas Press History Self Paced - Explorers to 1815 - </a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">This is a tried and true portion of our curriculum that we have done from the beginning. This is probably our anchor for our entire curriculum. Boo begins her day with this self-paced on line program from Veritas Press. She memorizes an entire era of history of important dates and events in chronological order through an engaging song. Using the classical approach of studying history chronologically at different levels through the grammar, logic and rhetoric stage, she is in her next to last year before we begin the cycle again at the logic state. We are beginning American History this year and it's always a favorite for our family! We live in such a great spot for American History field trips being so close to Philadelphia, DC, Gettysburg and more! The program is completely independent (though I learn so much just listening in), it uses a talking historical character, interactive teaching, engaging video and fun games. It teaches a Christian worldview of how God has worked throughout history. Along with a long list of history readers included in this program, our literature will also be largely inspired by the study of American History. Each of these cards represents a week worth of study. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://classicalacademicpress.com/series/writing-rhetoric/">Writing and Rhetoric 3 and 4</a> - This is our second year using this program and I can't say enough about it! Both my older girls went through Institute for Excellence in Writing and they are certainly strong writers now - however, that program can be very labor intensive for a homeschool mom. Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press takes all the hard prep work out for mom, but still teaches excellent writing in a natural way that is basically open and go. It uses clips of excellent literature as examples, uses Charlotte Mason methods such as dictation and narration, while encouraging and teaching excellent methods of writing using a clear model before them. I have found not only is this method extremely effective but also allows for much more creativity than her big sisters had in their writing programs. It is very much like an apprenticeship program in which a student is learning from a master teacher, using great stories and great writers from history. Effective communication and proper rhetoric are an added bonus!</span></div>

It's one of those products that you either love or hate. It clicks really well with some kids and really NOT well with others. It is perfect for Boo and she just loves to do grammar every day. It uses lots of fun jingles and chants to help memorize parts of speech, proper usage, vocabulary, capitalization and punctuation. It uses a question and answer flow highly structured program to basically diagram a sentence. This program has made Boo a grammar FOOL! She can diagram a sentence so fast and accurately it boggles my mind. Sometimes I have her do it simply for my own entertainment. Haha!! Proper grammar is so important for good writing - something that I never learned as a kid - but I'm learning it now as a homeschool momma (no judging my use of grammar here - I know it's horrid). We were advised to skip Shurley 5 as it is mostly review of Shurley 4, so we went straight to level 6 this year and so far it seems to be the perfect fit to make slow but steady progress in the subject of grammar. We tend to skip over the composition portions in this book since we prefer the writing program mentioned above.</span></div>

Boo seems to have inherited the math section of my brain - I offer her my deepest condolences. After suffering through Saxon math in third grade, we tried Horizons math in fourth grade. It was much better but still we had plenty of days of tears and frustration - from Boo AND mom. This year, we have taken mom out of the equation (haha - see what I did there?) and math is now so much more pleasant - well, for me at least. It is a very independent math program, plus quite a bit more multi-sensory in it's approach. I feel like Boo still has very strong math instruction, even if she still doesn't enjoy it too much. She does enjoy doing her math on the computer and has better options for learning if she doesn't understand a concept. Math is just one of those things you have to just buckle down and tackle no matter what. Teaching Textbooks makes it much less likely that Boo and I tackle EACH OTHER now. HA!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Spelling_You_See_Level_F_p/722-levelf.htm">Spelling You See - level </a>F - The jury is still out on this one for us. Boo has always enjoyed a traditional list of words each week and using different methods to explore the words throughout the week. I love how it is multi-sensory and she enjoys using different colored highlighters as she learns through visual memory rather than rote memory. It also uses Charlotte Mason methods of dictation which is a bonus for us. It uses real words within their context instead of just a list of words which seems like a much more natural approach. Boo seems to think it's a bit too repetitive and "busy-work-ish". We will try it for a few months more to see if I see some good results, but we may go back to the traditional spelling word lists also.</span></div>

In addition to this curriculum, we have lots of other art kits and supplies that we get to experiment with throughout the year, as well as doing plenty of art appreciation, and studying great works of art and artists in our <a href="http://timelessandtreasured.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-morning-basket.html">Morning Basket Time. </a></span></div>

Boo is learning all the state facts and how to draw each state with daily practice. At the end of the program she should be able to draw the USA from memory!

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://classicalacademicpress.com/series/latin-alive/">Latin Alive Book 1</a> - This is our third year in Latin and I am so THRILLED that I get to source this one out. We have an excellent Latin teacher from our local classical school that teaches this subject. Both of Boo's big sisters were seven year Latin scholars and I believe the study of Latin is almost crucial to the study of the English language, not to mention any other language they choose to study in the future. We have gone through the Latin for Children program and now we are beginning Latin Alive which I believe is a middle school program. Boo just loves heading to our local library where they meet for Latin class each week. She gets to use her backpack - which lemme tell ya is a BIG DEAL when you are a homeschooler and a fifth grader.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Over the past few months we have had the opportunity to review so many fun Timberdoodle products that when I began to plan our curriculum for 5th grade this year, I found myself being drawn towards so many things on the Timberdoodle website. We are still committed to classical education with a Charlotte Mason style, but so many of the Timberdoodle products can be easily incorporated into those methods. I ended up ordering a <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Custom_Homeschool_Curriculum_Kits_s/1941.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=custom_kit">Custom Curriculum Kit </a>based on our specific needs and it ended up being a combination of 5th and 6th grade materials, specially focusing on STEM learning, and crazy smart hands on products. After we received our products, we were so honored to be asked to do a review of our curriculum kit as well! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Every item in these pictures is from Timberdoodle, with the exception of the stack of literature books on the left, our Latin and English programs. Timberdoodle has GREAT options for Latin and English but we already had those in place. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The wonderful part about the custom kits is that you can use things you already have in your home from older children, and it is super simple to customize your order through their website. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I (and Timberdoodle) would highly suggest adding in plenty of your own literature reading to compliment your homeschool kit. You can easily pick up some great books at your local library as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> SCIENCE!! We are going to have so much fun this year discovering so many parts of science with all the fun products offered. We are starting off our studies with the Human Body. My Boo has recently discovered a passion for all things dance, so it is a prime time to teach her exactly how her body is able to do all that it does. One of the great perks of homeschooling is to be able to really customize the learning to their particular interest as they grow. </span></div>

We had lots of good conversations about how difficult it was for us to put the puzzle together, yet God was able to simply breathe life into us - simple yet profound.

Of course Boo discovered right away the x-ray picture of a dance move she does in acro class. She was so excited to try it out and even more excited to see a picture of herself re-enacting! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of Boo's very favorite learning items is the <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/SPRK_Sphero_p/693-653.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=custom_kit">SPRK Sphero</a>. It is a programmable robot remote control learning toy. It has amazing precision and can be reprogrammed via a smartphone or tablet. It teaches visual programming through different apps available, and can then move to text based programming. There are SPRK lessons to teach programming, robotics and math. This thing is basically indestructible - it is waterproof, has a (sold separately) rugged cover to take it through any kind of outdoor terrain, it can even be incorporated as a pet toy - our little Shihtzu goes CRAZY over it and chases it all through the house. It can even be used as a game controller - it's basically a go-anywhere do-anything all in one learning device. A little pricey - but AMAZING!! We will be using this for many years to come - I'm not sure we will ever even be able to learn everything that is is capable of doing.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Boo was programming it to launch into a sink of water here. She has also made obstacle courses and tracks to maneuver the sphero through. I'm sure you will be seeing so much more on the blog about all the fun with have with this device. We even just ordered a "chariot" that can be attached to it that has a phone holder so that Boo can create videos of the places her Sphero goes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A little addition to our Bible time is this book called <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/The_Ology_Ancient_Truths_Ever_New_p/536-575.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=custom_kit">The Ology, Ancient Truths Ever New</a>. Theology is certainly, without a doubt, one of the most weighty topics we will ever learn about. This book gives a very simple overview of the basic truths of the christian doctrine. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't go a little deeper, but sometimes reviewing the very basics of our faith, especially for a ten-year-old can't be overlooked. It is a beautiful book and it feels so wonderful - haha! It's very soft with wonderful illustrations with thick quality pages. We have other books that we use to round out our Bible curriculum as well.</span></div>

The set comes with a camera to attach to a computer and the software to install. It is simple enough for a novice (like Boo) to start experimenting with, and can last through much more advanced animation creations. Boo has already made little movies about matchbox cars, lego figures, miniature horses and more. We have only scratched the surface of everything this product can do, but it will be a great project tool for creating famous history scenes, bible stories and so much more! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We are diving in deep to geography this year as we begin year one of two years of studying American History (through a separate curriculum). Timberdoodle offers so many great enrichment tools for studying American history. One of them is this book <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Drawing_Around_the_World_USA_p/754-754.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=custom_kit">Drawing Around the World USA </a> - a great way to learn all the facts of each state, as well as being able to DRAW them! She traces and draws one state at a time each one building on the next until by the end of the year she should be able to draw the entire US from memory. What a fun way to learn geography.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bentley, the worlds cutest dog, is a huge fan of Timberdoodle. He gives two paws up to this fun <a href="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.timberdoodle.com/Doodle_America_p/881-881.htm?utm_source%3Dtimeless_and_treasured%26utm_medium%3DBRT%26utm_campaign%3Dcustom_kit&source=gmail&ust=1473961771941000&usg=AFQjCNHpLhQM4PSqHOEW-Of-S7xTy3TNwg">Doodle America</a> book. Each day Boo has something new to doodle that has to do with American History. Here she doodled her own design for an American flag. This book along with <a href="http://timelessandtreasured.blogspot.com/2016/07/doodle-your-day-timberdoodle-review.html">Doodle Your Day</a> are daily activities that Boo does while she listens to our current read-aloud. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a fun way to review and memorize the capitals of each state - <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Wrap_ups_States_Capitals_p/380-156.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=custom_kit">Wrap-Ups States and Capitals</a>. This is a perfect tool for read-aloud time, car rides, waiting at appointments, or just about anywhere! We have used wrap-ups for learning our math facts for many years but we thought this would be just as fun for states and capitals. It's also a great way to learn the two letter abbreviation for each state.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4srrCD_hGw4/V9mEvWbB1GI/AAAAAAAASJ4/65PkuYJrXq4kPypmSdcyR_d6Znq0gVHYQCLcB/s1600/IMG_1000w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4srrCD_hGw4/V9mEvWbB1GI/AAAAAAAASJ4/65PkuYJrXq4kPypmSdcyR_d6Znq0gVHYQCLcB/s1600/IMG_1000w.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you aren't familiar with wrap-ups, they are self-correcting joined at the top boards with a string attached. Your child will match the state listed on one side to the capital listed on the other side and then turns it over to see if the string lines up with the printed lines. A great tool for visual and kinesthetic learners.</span></div>

We have our large paper maps on the wall where we love to mark each place in our studies that we come across, but this map offers so much more versatility! It is seriously indestructible and is stored in it's own little drawstring pouch. Another great tool to throw in a bag for homeschooling on the go - or even just to explore with on the floor....</span></div>

It has the absolute dearest stories in it that teach character, virtue and so much more. They were actually designed to be used in an Amish classroom, so there is nothing but wonderfulness in them! They have great questions at the end of the short stories that always spark great conversations. It is full of stories - perfect for narration - as well as beautiful poetry, quotes and sayings, it is lovely and simple. We have used these books for many years and they will always be a part of our home library.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last year we didn't do a formal spelling program and instead incorporated it into daily dictations, narrations thus taking a more natural approach. This year I thought we would try <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Spelling_You_See_Level_F_p/722-levelf.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=custom_kit">Spelling You See </a>. This is a great multi-sensory program and adds an element of color as they "chunk" different vowel combinations. I think this would have been perfect for one of my older girls who struggled a bit more with spelling, but for Boo this has already become monotonous "busy work" that she would dread each day. She is a natural when it comes to spelling so I think we are going to go back to the tried and true list of spelling words, along with a more natural method. She actually misses having spelling tests at the end of the week! Silly girl.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After we complete our unit on the Human Body for science, we are going to begin using <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Interactive_Science_5th_Grade_Homeschool_Bundle_p/170-505.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=custom_kit">Interactive Science.</a> What I love about this product is that it touches on lots of different areas of science, which I think for 5th grade is pretty important. So many science curriculums for homeschoolers focus on only one subject for the whole year. I want Boo to explore all the areas of science while she is young. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is kind of a text book meets workbook approach. There is an online component as well where she can see videos clips of what she is studying, as well as science experiments being performed. I think this will be a great fit for a classic approach to fifth grade science, combined with lots of other products as well as "living books" that matches with our Charlotte Mason methods.</span></div>

But it certainly taught my Boo so much about the organs and where they were in her body. It's funny what they think of when they have never really been taught what different organs do and where they are located. </span></div>

We are using a pretty intense writing program so I was hoping this could bring a different flavor to our writing. I've decided to put it on the back burner right now. I think it's just a bit too much to use as a supplement and would be better off possibly as a stand alone curriculum. We already have so much writing incorporated into our everyday that I knew adding this would tip the scales. Don't be afraid to know when to say NO to something, even if it's awesome, but not the right fit for your homeschool right now. I think in a year or two this may come in very handy.</span></div>

On the Timberdoodle website there is a place where you can have your child take a placement test to see what level is appropriate for them. Math is always our least favorite part of the day, so this fun and independent computer program takes a huge load off of momma and makes for much fewer math tears - well for one of us anyway! It's a great program that is engaging, automatic, and open and go. It even keeps track of all the grades for you - it is my new BFF - I'm kidding.......kind of. It even has a fun little cartoon character that interacts with the student and gives tips and hints when necessary.</span></div>

I think it's important that homeschool kids still get experience with standardized testing procedures. In some states, these tests are even used to determine if you are able to continue home education. We are fortunate to not have that in Maryland. Having test practice is helpful not only for the student, but can be a great way for moms to see where you may need to focus on certain skills. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Homeschooling is one of the best decisions I have made as a parent. It is certainly not for everyone, each kid is so different and has such different needs. My favorite part about homeschooling is that it forces me to spend intentional time with my kids. The time spent together, the conversations that develop, the memories made and the relationship that grows between us are all part of her well-rounded education. Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life as Charlotte Mason says. There is so much more to it than reading, writing and arithmetic. Have a great community support in place, a church with plenty of activities to be involved in, a place for your kids to serve, an extracurricular activity that encourages teamwork and a well rounded education in in place! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Remember, your curriculum are simply tools towards education - the real education comes from the lifestyle you are living and the legacy you are passing on. You can accomplish a beautiful education without a single one of these items listed above, they are simply tools. Happy Homeschooling my friends! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to 5th grade in our little homeschool. We are beginning Boo's third year as a homeschooler and each year I get more and more excited about what lies ahead of us. This year looks to be super promising! <a href="http://timelessandtreasured.blogspot.com/2015/08/teaching-from-place-of-rest.html">Teaching from a place of rest</a> has been a HUGE part of our success, along with adding in <a href="http://timelessandtreasured.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-morning-basket.html">Morning Basket</a> time. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Over the past year I became an official Timberdoodle blogger and we have had the chance to experiment with so many fun products that it began to just slightly shift some of my thoughts on homeschool education. We are still completely sold out on educating classically, with a Charlotte Mason style and method. However, this year we will be adding in so many more FUN ways to learn - lots of hands on, multi-sensory, engaging, "crazy-smart" STEM and critical thinking types of learning. I'll be doing a full curriculum post soon showing all the products we are using this year - so stay tuned! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For those who have followed along on our homeschool journey you know that math is the one thorn in our side - we just couldn't seem to land on the perfect avenue for the most efficient learning. HELLO Teaching Textbooks!!! We used this long ago in the past with Banana and here we are again. The usual dreaded part of our day (the M word), now has momma taken out of the picture, therefore everyone is about a ba-jillion times happier. So far so good - fingers crossed. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">May I introduce you to Gabriel. Why Gabriel you ask? Yeah me too. Who knows the how and why of the 10-year-old mind, but Gabriel it is. I've been told to share with you that he also enjoys singing and dancing to old folk songs. He may or may not have been dancing a jig when Boo and I were jamming to "Down By the Bay" this morning, as we were discussing the life of Frederick Douglas who grew up near the Chesapeake Bay. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Gabriel is yet another fabulous Timberdoodle product - very soon I will be sharing a review on our Custom Curriculum Kit we are using this year from Timberdoodle! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are starting off our science curriculum this year with a unit study of Human Anatomy and Physiology - not what I had originally planned but Boo is CONSUMED with all things related to DANCE right now. This will be her first year on her dance company's competition team - so I thought it would be a perfect time to really focus on the human body and have a good understanding on how her muscles and skeleton allow her to do all the fabulous things she can do! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">By rubbing a balloon on her hair and creating static electricity she learned that a combination of corn starch and vegetable oil made into a thick paste actually pulled toward the balloon as it drips off the spoon. "<i>This effect is due to electrostatics and the way unlike charges attract each other, and like charges repel." </i> So cool. Isn't homeschooling awesome? You really don't have to know stuff like electrostatics - you simply get to learn along with your kids. I could only have said something about negative and positive charges and particles and stuff. But being a good teacher or homeschool teacher mostly entails putting your kids in the way of excellent learning, creating the right environment for learning, and then stepping out of the way. So very similar to how we can point them towards Christ, but ultimately we step out of the way and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. We can't MAKE them live a life pleasing to God, we can only do what is required of us to raise them "in the way of the Lord", and step aside and let HIM take over. Such a difficult thing for us control-freakish homeschool moms to do, but I'm learning, one baby step at a time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our God is a God of order. I love to create order in our homeschool environment, in our resources and our schedules. Boo and I read a story this morning called <i>The Lost Treasure. </i> It was such a beautiful reminder of the treasure we all hold, especially as mothers, in the care, keeping and environment we create in our homes. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To summarize the story - A man was out traveling when a great storm quickly came upon him. He saw two homes in which he might find retreat, a broken down, litter-filled yard of a home, or a beautiful white well-ordered house on a hill. He chose the closest house - the broken down poor looking home. He soon learned how unhappy the family in the home was, always bickering and lazy, the home was a mess and there was nothing to eat. As he left the next morning, he challenged them all to find the treasure within their home. They all searched and searched for some sort of earthly treasure, which of course could not be found - except for an old family Bible discovered by the mother. After reading the verses-</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">The mother began to clean and care for her home, to put things in proper order and have self-control over her lazy tendencies. She prepared a loving meal for her family and her children happily began pitching in. The children learned to help about the home and it soon became a happy place for them all. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">We have been given such treasures in our homes and our families. When we clean our homes, organize our belongings, and teach our children good and proper habits, we are following the commands of Christ. That is where our true treasure lies. We as moms have such power over the "atmosphere" of our homes, let us not forget how important of a job it is! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As a great reminder of our Charlotte Mason educational philosophy, we have one of her famous quotes on our walls in our learning room - I am, I can, I ought, I will. So much wisdom is packed into these few words - another post for another day! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A fun addition to our learning space this year is this fabulous cart from Ikea! It mostly holds our Morning Basket items and my teacher edition books, along with a few basic supplies. The great thing about this is wherever we happen to land within our home for learning times, this can easily be wheeled to the perfect spot! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I did some rearranging and refreshing of our homeschool central book case - which also doubles as our home library. The four shelves along the bottom hold our homeschool books, with a special spot for our current library books. This year, I arranged all the books by subject and I have found it to be SOO helpful. I am more easily able to use all the resources we have now, instead of accidentally overlooking or forgetting about the perfect book for the perfect time! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We are again using this simple method of having a daily checklist for Boo so that she knows just what needs to happen each day. I write it up either the night before, or the morning of, or sometimes we even just record what is happening as we go along if it's one of those crazy days! It's perfect to keep track of everything we have done when it comes time for the mid-year and end-of-year review.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We ended our first week of school doing some STEM work with our SPRK Sphero. Boo is learning basic HTML coding in a super fun way with this crazy durable programmable robot - that YES is even waterproof! In the picture below she programmed it to launch off the counter into a sink full of water. Does it get any more fun than that learning fifth grade level coding? </span></div>

What a wonderful time of year when everything is fresh and new and exciting. I hope that by taking a peek into our first week of homeschooling that you have been inspired to find some fresh ideas for yourself! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here are just a few sample pages from the book - they focus on logical thinking, similarities and differences, sequences, analogies, vocabulary development, descriptive writing, map reading, graphic organizers and so much more! I usually assign one page a day out of our critical thinking book - we worked on the Level One book for grades three and four, and we are beginning the <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Complete_Homeschool_Curriculum_Fourth_Grade_p/999-0400.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=bldg_thinking_skills">Level Two</a> book for grades five and six. It has a broad range of ability levels so I would say anywhere from about third grade to seventh grade on either book is a good range. The pages are very simple and straightforward - if your kids love to do things like crossword puzzles then this book will be a hit! The answers are all included in the back which is a huge help because sometimes even I can't figure it out. They really do make you think critically! </span></div>

I am thrilled to have this one from <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Complete_Homeschool_Curriculum_Seventh_Grade_p/999-0700.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=word_roots">Timberdoodle's 7th Grade Curriculum Kit</a> to use for Boo. She will begin this workbook this year in fifth grade and we will probably take several years to work through it, in addition to her regular language arts curriculum and Latin curriculum, we will use this as a supplemental book. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In general, I'm not a huge fan of workbooks within our homeschool as I do lean towards more of a Charlotte Mason teaching style. However, my youngest learner absolutely THRIVES on workbooks and being able to check items off her daily to do list so these two books are perfect supplemental materials for her homeschool days. </span></div>

Do you know how very powerful the act of doodling can be? Doodling can help you concentrate, be more productive, can keep you in the present moment, and can help to generate new ideas.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">My Banana, who is a high school junior, has a great need for doodling. She thinks best while creating some kind of art, or even by keeping her hands busy. This book was just perfect for her. Any of my normal blog readers know that we have a deep love for classical literature around here and this book brings it all together! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the fun suggestions of things to doodle come from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice - you might doodle Mr. Darcy's dog or design a ball gown. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet suggests doodling a masquerade ball mask or a simple rose (<i>that by which any other name would smell as sweet!) </i> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Emily-Bronte's Wuthering Heights suggested doodling the trees in the moor during all the four seasons. There are also historical footnotes about the authors which add interest. There are even some doodles from the authors themselves included in the book! </span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7GqcQL-afxA/V6tF2loYEvI/AAAAAAAASCI/90xC_T-LzMIpr3ogK9tLB5SqQQfqBSeGgCLcB/s1600/IMG_9413w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7GqcQL-afxA/V6tF2loYEvI/AAAAAAAASCI/90xC_T-LzMIpr3ogK9tLB5SqQQfqBSeGgCLcB/s1600/IMG_9413w.jpg" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You can doodle "the borogrove" nonsensical creatures from Lewis Carroll's famous Jabberwocky poem from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. My 5th/6th grade Boo will be memorizing Jabberwocky this school year so we will be incorporating lots of fun doodling into her memory time as well! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Have you heard about how important doodling can be for your kids? Not only does doodling help kids stay focused - such as during read aloud time, but it also helps them retain facts and comprehend new concepts. Timberdoodle sent us <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Doodle_Your_Day_p/632-632.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=doodle_your_day">Doodle Your Day </a>for a review and it has been lots of fun!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've noticed as my kids get older, they have a little trouble coming up with ideas on their own when it comes to creating, art, or doodling. <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Doodle_Your_Day_p/632-632.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=doodle_your_day">Doodle Your Day</a> is a great way to get their brains thinking and drawing things they would never have thought to on their own. This book combines journaling, art, and even the occasional thing to cut out and paste, or find around the house and include in the book - such as "find an old key and attach it here, then draw what you wish it could open". So fun and creative! There is a spot for every day of the year - so doodling can be a daily activity. Boo has been having fun with it this summer, but I also plan to have it be part of her daily homeschool plans. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There are a few repeating pages such as, "What I ate for lunch today" and "Today I learned something new". Boo quickly stated she hadn't learned anything yet today - and then remembered seeing and being <a href="http://timelessandtreasured.blogspot.com/2014/09/tiny-seeds-of-wonder.html">full of wonder </a>at a HUGE leaf colored moth on our front door this morning. It was brown and yellow just like all the other dead leaves all around it. All the neighbor girls had run over to investigate it. After the prompt our <a href="http://www.timberdoodle.com/Doodle_Your_Day_p/632-632.htm?utm_source=timeless_and_treasured&utm_medium=BRT&utm_campaign=doodle_your_day">Doodle Your Day</a> journal gave us - we decided to google it and find out more about it. We discovered it was called an Imperial moth and is found in the eastern US. Thanks to our journal, we had a learning opportunity and after Boo wrote about it and sketched it I think she will remember it much better than just seeing it with her friends. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been such a fun summer having Punkin home - it's been years since she was home for the summer instead of working at horse camps. She is doing a Marketing Internship instead so she has been teaching riding lessons in the evenings. Boo has fallen in love with the horse world this year! She has grown up around horses but never really had formal lessons until this summer with her big sister. She is in LOVE. It's been so nice for her and Punkin to share a common love - and Punkin is an EXCELLENT instructor! She has been riding with another homeschool friend Esther which has been so nice! </span></div>
