Cassie's Diagnoses Day

Today is my daughter's two year anniversary of having Type 1 Diabetes.  She posted this video on her facebook this morning for all her family and friends to see.  She said it was okay for me to post on my blog.

Happy Dday Cass... I love you so much!

Freebie - American Revolutionary War Unit Study and Lapbook

This lapbook was created to go along with an American Revolutionary War unit study put together by my daughter, Ali.  This unit study was a learning service project for one of her history classes (she's a senior and history major at Souther Utah University).  Please leave her a comment if you are so inclined.  She would love to read your feed-back, whether it is good or bad.  We both hope you enjoy this study!

Voyage of the Dawn Treader Lapbook

My good friend, Sonia, from Homeschool Treasure Trove, has created a wonderful lapbook and other activities to go along with Narnia's  The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  This movie will be in theaters this Christmas and the book is excellent.  This would be a great study before treating your kids to the movie.

For those looking for a great way for your younger kids to experience Narnia during the Christmas season while you are busy, you might want to consider the Focus on the Family Radio Theater Complete Set.  This is a dramatized set, but very well done and will keep your kids interest.  We listened to these as a family several year ago and LOVED them!

Thanks, Sonia for such a great resource!!!
