Time 4 Learning (TOS Crew Review)

I recently received a month of access to Time 4 Learning's online website - the preschoolers section.  Since this is likely the first thing we have received that is just for preschoolers, and since I seriously contemplated signing my family up for this last year, I was ecstatic!

The Littlest Drama Princess and I got to click around the website, though not as much as I would have liked due to internet difficulties that lasted much of our month-long access.  Now, if I load the page, she happily hops up into the chair and says, "time for my 'kool, Mommy?" which is adorable all by itself!

The site offers LOTS for little people to do: play games, watch videos, draw and color, be read to, and more!  There are topics galore for education: numbers, letters, seasons, bugs, pets, days of the week, space, tools, vehicles, and much more!  When you want a break from all that (yeah, right!), you can head over the Playground, which is full of, yup, you guessed it:  MORE GAMES.  Puzzles, 2-player games, math games, various activities (like creating a flower arrangement in a vase or coloring zoo animals)... so much to do.

Honestly, the site is great, and today's children are certainly technologically inclined, but for my 3-year-old, I like her to play with all of her senses as much as possible.  Time 4 Learning certainly offers a lot for the $19.95 per month price tag, but preschool is free at our house, so we're not going to sign up for this one.  However, trying their preschool section has certainly made me curious about the older kids' areas, and we may try those out!

*Disclaimer: I was given one month of access to the preschool area of Time 4 Learning's website for free in order to review it.  This review is my own opinion of that site, and no compensation has been provided.

How Has Homeschooling Affected My Life?

Well, homeschooling IS my life, so suffice it to say, there's no stone unturned!  Massive takeover, at times, a bit hostile!! For example, my second child was getting ready to embark on Mother's Day Out and my first child was conveniently ensconced in a Government-run "educational" facility, and I had a glimmer of real freedom... for about a day.  Then I found out I was preggo with Baby #3.  Commence Meltdown. I have since gotten over that traumatic , er, beautiful time, and we have embraced homeschooling.  The freedom never came, the oldest got pulled from Uncle Sam's Brainwashing Academy, and the second offspring never entered a public school.  The third will not go away to preschool. They go with me to the doctor.  This, they do not love.  Neither do I. ( Mommy, why is she putting that there?? ) Alas, it is our lot in life... at least until the eldest is of babysitting age. They go with me to the grocery store.  This, they love occasion...

Health Care in the USA

Well, it is time for another political rant, so depending on your standing, you may want to mosey along.... Health care in the United States is apparently in need of an overhaul.  There are few who disagree.  However, the method of that overhaul is in question.  Many would like to use their power in government to take over health care.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are calling it a reform , but it is really just a takeover . So, okay, let's evaluate. Your company, which you have worked for your entire life, is losing money.  It is still afloat, but it isn't doing as well as it could.  You have a couple of choices as a member of the voting board of directors : you could vote in favor of a reevaluation of what is working and what isn't, what rules are already in place that aren't being followed that would benefit your bottom line, and what people in your company are beneficial and what people are detrimental, then you could weed out things and people who aren...

Children's Bible Hour (TOS Crew Review)

We fortunate members of the 2009-2010 The Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Crew received a set of books from Children's Bible Hour Ministries .  I was sent four books with accompanying audio CDs: Race With Midnight , You Can't Come In , Seventy Times Seven , and Brave the Storm .  Each book is based on a different season, and each represents a time in the life of Christians all around the world: Spring ( Race With Midnight ) is new life in Christ; Summer ( You Can't Come In ) is growing in God's love; Autumn ( Seventy Times Seven ) is struggles and temptations; and Winter ( Brave the Storm ) is especially difficult times.  These books are part of the Seasons of Faith Series and retail for $10 each. There were so many things to love about this book set: wonderful stories, tales based in God's word, child-friendly topics and characters we can relate to, as well as beautiful illustrations, large pages, and a compact disc that reads the book for us while we look at the p...
