Discover Your Children’s Gifts

This book was unbelievably awesome. Both my husband’s and my eyes were opened in new ways. This book might even rank highest on our “most discussed” list. It was that good. I hardly know where to start in reviewing it. Published by Chosen Books, what Don and Katie Fortune set out to do in this…

Set-Apart Femininity

Set-Apart Femininity, by Leslie Ludy is really my type of book in that it’s going to raise a whole lot of arguments by just about anyone who reads is. Baring the possibility that you have the exact mindset of Mrs. Ludy, the chances of you falling in love with this book are slim. However, the…

Home Schooling: A Family’s Journey

Well, here’s a topic that has the potential to rile the masses. Yet, it doesn’t have to. But it does. This book is titled well — it is a family’s journey into the wild world of home schooling. It is not every home school family’s journey; just one family. Every family you meet, home, public…

Young Patriot Series

My son carried these books around from room to room after we received them. One of the books that we received was the Shapes with Ocean Animals which was a huge hit considering our…

Nature Trail Books by Maurice Pledger

I received three titles from the Nature Trails Books by Maurice Pledger published by Silver Dolphin. I’ve been looking for beginning science books for my 2 year old and these books looked very promising. These particular books are targeted for kids ages 4 and up (for the most part) and I wasn’t sure that we’d…

30 Minutes a Day

Remember I mentioned that in addition to being Wordless, we’d go for Winning on Wednesdays as well? Each Wednesday we will announce the week’s winners as well as offering up a special giveaway (there will probably be others throughout the week, but on Wednesdays, you can count on it). So before we get to the…
