Never planned to homeschool, now wouldn't trade it for the world
I finally broke down and ordered 2 See the Light DVDs for the boys-the Christmas {The Gift of Love} and Easter {Crossmaker} ones. This deal was what pushed me over the edge. I am horrible with art and have been wanting to try these so when I saw the discount available, I ordered immediately. My DVDs have not arrived yet-but I wanted to let you know about the deal!
FREE SHIPPING + 10% off all orders that total $25.00 or more.
Code to use: MERRY2011
Ends on Friday, December 6th.
Last year I released a free Nativity Preschool Pack and this year I had to update it for all of us! Here’s what is new in case you haven’t downloaded the new version yet!
All of the original printables are still in the same PDF file also!
You can download the Nativity Printable Pack for FREE here!
In case you are new to my blog, I also have a Christmas Tot Pack, and a Christmas Fun webpage with many more printables and resources linked up!

I am so excited to share the news with you! All About Reading Level 1 is ready for purchase AND they are offering 10% off this week only for the launch!
I was blessed to receive the Level 1 Kit {shown in the photo above} to review and have just begun using it with Krash! We were also sent the Deluxe Reading Interactive Kit and love it all!
I am busy preparing it all and so far I LOVE what I have seen. Seems to be the perfect combination of phonics, vocabulary, fluency, & comprehension. I believe ALL are important. You also know I believe sight words are an important part of learning to read and I just love what AAR has done with the teaching of sight words. The words that cannot be sounded out have a little “bad guy” printed on them with a sign that says “Rule Breaker” ~ how cute is that? It reminds the student that some words don’t follow the rules we learn and need to be memorized by sight from the very beginning. The first Rule Breaker word is “the” and appears in lesson 3.
Krash and I have completed 1 lesson so far and it was exactly the type of thing I was looking for {even though I didn’t even really know I was looking}. He needs some extra hands on work and some phonological awareness work {auditory/verbal} with sounds. He is flying through sight words with You Can Read and doing well with phonics, but this is just the perfect addition for him.
Here is a peek at our set-up. This photo was snapped in the middle of our first lesson, Krash had to remove himself for a potty break!
I will also be starting All About Reading Level Pre-1 with Ladybug in January-more details to come on that too!

My wonderful friend Shannon is still working with me to create the Calendar Connections cards. She is a fellow inner city missionary with me and also a homeschooler {and former school teacher}.
We chose the theme of Christmas Around the World for December!
The facts are written at a 3-6th grade level but you will be able to water them down for younger kids. It’s a great way to involve your entire family in exploring a particular theme.
The cards fit my particular pocket chart calendar {which is currently IN STOCK at Oriental Trading}, item # IN-62/2017.
but you could use a poster foam board and velcro to easily create your own set up. You could also use a standard pocket chart. They seem like they would fit in this calendar on Amazon but I am not certain.
I am now creating smaller sets to go along with the small pocket charts found recently in the Target $1 section. Here is what they look like…
Be sure to visit this post for a tutorial of how to sew your $1 pocket chart into a calendar!
There is also a new sheet included to be used in a Calendar Notebook if you are using those too!
I printed my numbers on cardstock and laminated them before cutting them apart.
You can download these for FREE here!
You can use most of our Calendar Connections cards for any month! We are slowly building up what we hope will be a wide variety of themes to choose from!

We ordered our Christmas cards from Mixbook this year. I chose one of their premade layouts and modified it myself. It is printed on both sides and I am very happy with the cards! Here’s a peek at mine…
too funny- I just noticed my base card template is the same one shown in the ad above!!!
