It was love at first sight when this neatly packed boxed showed up in my mailbox with its crisp new teacher’s manual and fresh never-been-mauled-by-the-baby flash cards! “Mommy, why are you drooling on that box?” “Nevermind.” While I gather my thoughts again, go [...]

Review – Smelly Washer

December 14, 2009 Reviews

November 7, 2009 Reviews

This has to be one of my favorite reviews so far!  All I had to do to try it out was take a nice long shower!  (They said to take a nice long bath, but I’m too tall for ours!  I would love to have one of those big huge tubs!) The family behind Virginia [...]

Old Schoolhouse Magazine Crew Review – The Amazing Bible World History Timeline

November 3, 2009 Reviews

Can you imagine how large a map would have to be that included all of history – from Adam right down to 1982 and had everything from Bible events to secular world history? It’s huge!  And, there is not one practical spot on my walls to display it! Unfortunately, we are not in a position [...]
