Have you ever flipped through a book and went WOW THIS IS GREAT?!?! That’s how I felt when I received Nelson’s Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts from Thomas Nelson Publishers in the mail for review! In this third edition, readers will find beautiful maps and charts that follow the order of the [...]

I’ve been a member of Swagbucks.com for quite some time now, but never really started using it until about 6 weeks ago and so far I’ve earned three $5 Amazon Gift Cards, just for searching as I always do! That may not sound like much, but it’s $15 worth of products (usually I buy homeschool [...]

As opposed to my post the other day, I now say let it NOT snow! The icky weather started on Thursday evening and I was just able to get out for the first time today (Sunday) to pick up a couple of things at the store.  No big deal to some, and [...]
