Waterproof Bible Bardin&Marsee Publishing

I have to admit, I was really excited when I found out I was going to be able to review the waterproof bible. I have heard about it but wasn't sure what to expect. When my package arrived I opened it quickly. Although it was a bit smaller than what I had envisioned I was quite impressed. The pages were thicker and you couldn't see the print from the other side of the page like in other bibles. It was easy on the eyes too. I got blue but it comes in pink, and green leaf(camo) also. You can specify which color and which version of the bible you prefer. Full version is $44.95 and New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs for $24.95.

  

This is the New Testment, Psalms and Proverbs KJV version in Blue wave.

 Heres the inside. Very clear text and easy on the eyes.

 

Now to put it to the test. I was kind of afraid to try to wet a book let alone the bible. But I had to see if it really sood up to what they claimed. So here it went. I put it under the faucet and to my amazement the water just beaded right off.

And after I set it down on its spine to dry I was able to go through it as nothing happened. Really cool!! And you can also write in it. Ball point pen and dry highlighters work the best.

Would I recommend this product? The answer is a definate YES!!

 

 

We Choose Virtues Review+Coupon Codes

I heard about We Choose Virtues from another blogging friend. It really got my interest. I am always trying to find ways to teach my children character. I needed something that would capture their attention. Not just me reading to them. They needed more than that. So when I found out I was going to be able to review We Choose Virtues I was very excited.

I got a set of Virtue flashcards, a sample parenting card, family character assessment download, teacher handbook pdf, coloring pages, and a butterfly award your child receives when he or she completes all the virtues.

After doing the assessment I decided we needed to start with being obedient first. The flash cards are designed so nice with cute pictures and catchy sayings to capture their attention. Other virtues included were, Kind, Helpful, Honest, Patient, Self-Controlled, Forgiving, Content, Attentive, Diligent, Perserverant and Gentle. You can get these in KJV, NIV or secular versions.

The front

The back 

And each character has a name. Obedient has Oboe Joe. So that is another way kids can remember the virtue. I didn't get a chance to print out the coloring pages yet because our printer isn't working at the moment. But we still have a ways to go on completing all the virtues so hopefully we can get a new printer soon. I know my daughter would love them.

Confessions of A Homeschooler Blog Planner Review

Now that I am a part of the Mosaics Review Team we recently had a choice of blog planners to use as our practice review. These were free and I had more than a few to choose from. I picked Confessions of a Homeschoolers Blog Planner. It was created by Erica. I am not usually one to use planners (I am a "spur of the moment" kind of gal) but this planner was really pretty.

                                                                                                                                                           Each month is a different color and at the end of each month there is a place for post ideas and Giveaway/Review information. It is available in two different forms. You can choose which one you prefer. I chose this one. And though I don't usually use planners I think this one was great. It was simple to use and only about 30 pages.

Erica also has many other printables to choose from. Just go to here site www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com

God's Word In My Heart Review

Thank you for joining me here today. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day.


I recently had the opportunity to review God's Word In My Heart, a scripture memory guide with memory verses by Jenn Thorson of The Purposeful Mom. I have used various methods to try and teach my children and also myself scripture. It is difficult for me to memorize things sometimes and challenging for my children as well. This book is different. Not only does it have verses to memorize but there are sing alongs to go with the verses too. There are also links to other activties to do along with the verses. Thats already three things to help your kids remember them. It doesn't stop there. There is lots more.

Fun for all ages from babies to high school Jenn gives plenty of ideas on how to teach these verses to your children. Parents benefit as well. You can use it as a family for your daily devotions.

My daughter loves to color and draw so she especially enjoyed the coloring pages link. Very good selection and didn't cost anything. You just lick on the link, click what you choose and you can print them out. So easy. I hope this book will bless you as well.

You can get yours today by clicking on the button on the right in the sidebar.

Now that the 100th day of school has come and gone how is it going? Are you happy with your curriculum? Do you want to ditch it and try something else? Tweek it a bit? There is no "perfect" curriculum out there. That is what is so wondeful about homeschooling. You can fit it to how your child learns best and at his or her own pace. Sometimes you will find that your child will be in different levels in various subjects and thats ok. Most important is to find out what kind of learner he or she is. Then build from that. My son is a visual, auditory and kinthesic learner. So he learns by watching, hearing and touching. Hands on activites are a must. Learning CDs/cassetts are another thing that helps him learn. With my daughter I am still trying to figure out how she learns best. She loves to draw so lots of that is going on in between lessons. Here are a few books and websites that have helped me.
