Although I don't understand 95% of Shakespeare, I do remember a few lines from his famous plays. Here is a line said by Juliet in the play Romeo and Juliet: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." While I see both sides of this concept, I believe that it is very important when naming ...

Review: No Work Spanish
Two years of high school Spanish taught me very little. Working with students of limited English taught me a lot - it would be very helpful to know Spanish! When the review came up for "No-Work Spanish," I was curious. No-Work Spanish audiobooks are stories read with each sentence said first in English, then in Spanish. At the ...
Review: Departures – Two Rediscovered Stories of Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen
As a teenager, I devoured the Christy Miller series. I ordered each book as soon as I learned through my Focus on the Family magazine that they were available. I stayed up deep into the night reading about Christy and Todd. When I saw that a rediscovered book was available, the part of my brain that holds all of my ...
Confessions of a Grieving Girl
Eleven years. Can it really be that long ago that my life was severed in half? With. Without. While my heart fights to believe the truth, my head reminds me of the facts. Eleven years ago my eighteen-year-old sister's life ended. Wow...that is hard to type. Eleven years ago, my family and I began a journey of grief. Grief that ...
Review: Princess with a Purpose
A few weeks ago, I encouraged everyone to purchase A Warrior Prince for God. Today, I will introduce you to the "girl" version of this book. Princess with a Purpose is very similar to its brother book. (If you haven't read the other review, be sure to before reading this one.) A little girl has a dream that she ...
Recipe: Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread
I have two favorite smells in life. The smell of a freshly bathed baby. Be still my heart. The second favorite smell is homemade bread baking in the oven. Delicious. While it might be cool to say that I make several loaves a week by mixing and kneading, I would be lying. I haven't kneaded bread for quite some ...
4-H – So Much More than Sheep, Cows, and Farmers
Everyone has an organization that they want their children to join when they reach the age. Brownies, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Little League, Dance, Gymnastics, AWANA's...The list goes on. For me, it is 4-H. I have wanted our children to be a part of a club before they were born. Now that Bubs is officially a member, I see the benefits even ...

Review: Eleanor the Hippo Learns to Tell the Truth
In October I was introduced to a new series of books out called Little Lessons from Our Animals Pals by Andy McGuire. I was thrilled to read Remy the Rhino Learns Patience and even more excited when Eleanor the Hippo Learns to Tell the Truth came out this year. Both books are simple but get right to the heart of the matter. Eleanor is ...
Review: Rivanna Music
Rivanna Music Cd's by Cathy Bollinger are sets of CD's suggested in the The Autism Sisterhood: A (brief) Manual. These CD's were created to provide teachers and children with songs that teach. As I have stated in several of the last reviews, there is a direct correlation between music and learning. Children and adults are able to ...
