Do you have a high schooler who is interested in flight? Maybe you yourself are interested? We have really been enjoying learning about many different aspects of flight from Doctor Aviation. We are incorporating this into our homeschool for Aviation Education, which is for a 1/2 credit for 6 months. I can extend to make it worth a credit by doing some extra work and will explain that later. I did receive 6 months access for this review. This is geared for High School on up.

Have you ever heard the story of the Prodigal Son? One of the brothers leaves to spend his inheritance and ends up hitting rock bottom. Then the brother comes home and the father is welcoming and has a party but the other brother is angry because he stayed and did all the work. He doesn’t really understand why the father welcomes him with a party. We had the chance to watch and review the movie Trust Fund by Mapelle Films. It really reminded me of that story. We received the digital download of the movie for this review. This is geared for ages 12 and up. I want to mention that Trust Fund did receive the dove seal award.  Read more...

For the Fourth of July every year we head up to Gills Rock. If your not familiar with Gills Rock it is in Wisconsin and is one of the many tourist attractions in Door County. You can take the ferry across from Gills Rock to Washington Island. There are a few shops and a park. There are boat launches and a maritime museum. Now Gills Rock is a small town but let me tell you this town has AMAZING fireworks every year. Just when you think it’s the grand finale it’s not. I am blown away each year with the fireworks.  Read more...

Do you enjoy doing hands on activities with your children? I absolutely love when we can do hands on activities to further our learning. Home School in the Woods is a hands on history company with many different product lines: Lap-Paks, Activity-Paks, and  Time Travelers American History. We have used a few of their Lap-Paks and have really enjoyed them in the past. My son and I are excited that we were able to review Wonders of the World, found in the Lap-Paks series. If your looking for something to spruce up your history, I would highly suggest checking out what Home School in the Woods has to offer.  Read more...

The last couple weeks we have been cooped up in the house with being sick and it also has rained so many of them days as well. We finally had a break from the rain yesterday. It was beautiful outside too. It was a little windy but I think the wind was perfect as it dried our paintings pretty fast! We decided to try squirt gun painting. It is definitely a fun twist on painting outside in the summer. It turns out abstract!
