I was so intrigued when I was offered the opportunity to review Exploring the U.S. Life-Saving Service: 1878-1916: 17 Student Workshops with 120 Activities written and published by Rebecca Locklear.
My children, though they live in a Christian home and attend a church full of believers living wholeheartedly for Jesus, are bombarded by the world through ads, movies, commercials, internet, work, college, homeschool co-ops, relatives, and friends.
Summer is my favorite season!
I love the blue skies, oceans waves, sailboats, and picnics outside.

I remember years ago as a mom with children ages 4 to 14. I was having a particularly frazzling day and the WWJD (What would Jesus do?) bracelets were really popular. I wondered in my heart if my High Priest Jesus could really understand how challenging it was to be a homeschool mom in that…
When our family, along with our homeschool co-op learned about the first English settlement at Jamestown, we decided to build the settlement out of pretzels and cereal.
When we first studied HIS Story of the 20th Century in our homeschool co-op, I decided to hold a couch potato marathon. We watched a TV sitcom from each decade 1950s to 1990s. I wanted to show the the fashions, hairstyles, popular slang, and fads from each decade.

When we studied art movements of the 20th Century, we enjoyed splatter painting to learn more about Abstract-Expressionistic Art.
