Linky Love



Linky Love is here again. I love to share my great, interesting, or worthwhile links every month, so enjoy! This month is all about books, school, fall, fashion, and of course, what would it be without a bit of crafting and food mixed in? In no particular order...I give you...the bullets:
  • Teachers, parents, and child-care providers get excited for some well designed free printables. They actually exist.
  • Looking for frugal items to stash in a bin for rainy days and crafting with littles around? Here is a great list.
  • This new farmhouse (kitchen shown here) has me drooling for our own little plot of land. Don't ask Stefan how many animals I want. He'll just roll his eyes.
  • There's still a place in my heart for this job. Yes, wanted to be one until I was about 16 and scraped by in my Chem class. Travelling and learning--the perfect combination.
  • And another thing about life-long learning....
  • probably the prettiest food blog I've seen in awhile. Haven't tried any of the recipes, just can't get over the beautiful shots.
  • Cute headband+bun hair tutorial. Might try this.
  • Just need to find the hour to watch this PBS special on the teenage brain. Yes, I really am interested...it's just that FNL has been taking up all my time!
  • I think I stumbled upon this gem awhile back from a friend's facebook page (link maybe?). Anyway, I really have enjoyed the articles.
  • Oh-la-la I love everything in here. Simplicity and nature. Also love the sister scarf shop, Dear June. It must be the packaging!
  • Yardsaletreasuremap.com um...as if I needed a reason!
  • The next few books on my nightstand will be: Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks and A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard.
  • The Zinn Project: teaching a people's history. Again, educators, homeschoolers, or life-learners. I can't remember if I shared this last time, so I'll post it again.
  • Anyone local? I'd love to try out the new Art & Soul shop. Complete with kid and adult cooking and art classes. I have yet to get out there.

Loving these links! For starters, I am just starting A Stolen Life. I just finished Room, so it might be a little overload of similar stories, but we'll see.
I am LOVING the free printables link, thank you for posting it! The life-long learning link is also one which I had bookmarked awhile back, and it inspired me to put my Rosetta Stone to use and solidify a few languages, and perhaps learn a new one!

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov

Top 10 Books of 2017

early sunset in Ft Langley  I love reading all these "Top 10" lists of favorite books read throughout the year, so I'm adding my two cents.  I'm involved in a Book Club that I love with women from our church, a small group that meets every week and goes through a book every few months, my own list, books I'm reading aloud to the kids and  books I'm reading for educational purposes (think professional development). I took a look at all of those combined and this is what I got, in no particular order:  *  The Problem of God  by Mark Clark - I loved going through this academic apologetic book with my friends from church. It led us to great discussion, and good food for thought. I listen to Clark's sermons every week and so knew I'd probably love his writing style, too. If you have objections to Christianity, or are feeling confused about what to believe, this is a great primer.  * You're Smarter Than You Think  by Dr. Thomas Armstron

August Book Titles

* 50 Women Every Christian Should Know by Michelle DeRusha -- I heard the author on a podcast and the book sounded good. It was described as a book full of 5-7 page mini biographies on each woman, and that sounded both easy and interesting. It was. I really enjoyed this book and plan to give it away as a Christmas gift to someone I know will get a lot out of it. I really don't know that much about Christianity's historical females, and I felt I learned a lot. Some of the women I had never even heard of before, and it was fun to read about women I'd heard of before by name, but knew little about their lives. * The Story of Science by Susan Wise Bauer -- Oy. This book was tough to get through. Not because the writing wasn't good (it was excellent), but because of the subject matter and my right-brain. Out of any schoolish subjects, I would rate Science as my least favorite and most difficult. I read this book because when I had the kids' school order it, I thoug
