Big Changes in the Works

I know it's been way too long since I have actually written a post. There is so much going on lately & I have been putting more attention & effort into my other blog, Daily Deals From A Nerd Mom. I promise that as things get back to "normal" then I will be here more often. Also, I will be changing my blog over so that's another project!

We are looking for a place to move to. We want to be closer to Orlando, FL since that is where the hubs works. He has to travel a lot throughout the day so it would be much easier to actually live in the same area. That's another thing I have been focusing on & it's hard to do when you don't actually live out there & know the real ins-n-outs of the towns.

School was sort of on hold for the last 2 weeks. When we made the final decision to move we didn't realize how hard & how much time it would take! Since nothing has come our way yet, we are going to ease back into school week. I don't expect them to get started on any big projects/units during this time though. As long as the basics are covered each day & they play some educational games/sites then I'm happy. (& of course they are too!)

We are big believers in "if it's meant to happen it'll happen" so if a place hasn't come our way yet then maybe that's because the right one isn't available for us yet. I'm just not a patient person..lol.


Any prayers, crossed fingers, good lucks, & any other way you believe in would be much appreciated right now!

Thanks!

Bible Memorization Made Easy {Review & Giveaway}

Since we don't have a "formal" bible study going on in this house I was excited to have the opportunity to be a part of the evaluation for Bible Memorization Made Easy series from Brookdale House.  I decided to work on this with J12.

I was given a complimentary copy of Memorize the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5, 6, and 7) & right from the get-go I was amazed! I love how author Kimberly Garcia has it broken down by days to it's easier to memorize & not overwhelm!

Memorize the Sermon on the Mount contains 23 weekly lessons.

Here is how she suggests using these workbooks:

• Pray before each lesson that God will open your eyes, ears, & minds so as to understand His Word.
• Day 1 - Read the passage aloud a few times, discuss any unfamiliar words, & write the passage down while saying it aloud.
• Day 2 - 4 You will read the passage aloud while looking for certain words that will help you remember certain pieces, write it while saying it aloud, then fill in the blanks on another worksheet. Each day will have more blanks to fill in until eventually...
• Day 5 - You will read the passage at least 3 times & then write the entire passage from memory!

I could really see that J12 was memorizing the passage easily & also improving her handwriting at the same time!

 There are 4 volumes in the series:

• The Book of Galatians
• Psalms for Praying
• The Sermon on the Mount
• The Book of Philippians

Each book comes in print ($21.99) & eBook ($15.99) form. But, for a limited time, you can use code 20percent to get yours for 20% off! Also, it's ending very soon, but it's also on sale over at Educents for just $10 (eBook)!

Brookdale House is giving away 1 FREE Workbook (eBook) of your choice! Just enter below! Giveaway ends on 2/28 at Midnight.
