Math Mammoth Review!

 

Kaden is the only one in our house that just picks up any kind of Math and runs with it with no problems.  It can be costly trying to keep his Math Appetite suppressed.  We have Games, Packets, Flash Cards, Computer games, and multiple Math Programs going at the same time. 
I was totally Interested to Review Mammoth Math...not only to try out a Math Program that was New to Us, but to be able to Review it with Kaden!!  :)

Do You Speak Computer?

This was a Review perfectly Designed for Our Family!  Hubby is a Computer Engineer and my Middle Kiddo is destined to follow in his foot steps.  Kaden who is only 6 years old seemed to have been born with a laptop in hand with his very own trigger finger.  :)  So, you can imagine the happy faces and the squeals of delight that came from my Kiddos when I introduced them to the Homeschool Programming program.  Let's just say I haven't had to ask them to get out there materials more then once whenever it's time to work.  They even offer to read aloud for me. :) I could get used to this!

I still remember when I bought my first computer.  I was 22, in college and I remember leaving the box at the store because it wouldn't all fit in my tiny car.  I thought it was such a monster and was worried sick about figuring out where all the cords plugged in at.  HAHAHAHA  Now, I have 5 computers and 3 of them fit under my arm and weigh in under 15lbs.  Back then it was a whole new world and it took me awhile to figure out what was what.  Fast forward 15 years and even my youngest can set up his own computer, open an email account and he just knows where to plug things in at.  What happened to this new generation of Kiddos???  All I know is just to look cool to my Kiddos I need this Programming Series just as much, if not MORE then they do.  :)

Mahala's Face shows a little of the Confession we had going on in the beginning! 

We were given the TeenCoder Windows Game Programing to Review.  I'm going to be honest that it was not easy to get started and I did need extra help.  But, I have been known to loose files and I'm no stranger to the call Hubby at work for technical help game. :)  That said we started off a little shaky, but after a little guidance and a few hand holding sessions we were able to see the light.

Leap into the New School Year!

This is My 2nd Favorite Time of the Year!!!  I Love the beginning of a New School Year.  Clearing out the old supplies and collecting New Goodies for the upcoming School Year.  I feel like a Kid in a Candy Store when I see School Supplies!  Even though we Homeschool year round we still take the last part of the Summer to clear out the old and Bring in the New.  So, when I found out that I was going to be able to Review LeapFrog Products from MEGA Brands America I was camped out by the Mail Box for 5 days!!  :)  Don't worry the Mail Man enjoyed the chit chat and random sweet treat I had for him each day!

Medieval Game Review!!!

Another Review for a Great Game.  I Love to use games in Our Homeschool.  At least 3 or 4 times a week we forgo a Written Assignment or Worksheet to play some sort of Game that is Educational. 

My oldest is the History junkie, but now he has Graduated and Working full time.  So, all I have home with me are Science & Math Nerds.  HAHAHAHAHA So, they were not too interested at first, but after getting it all set up and the first match was made their tune changed.   YAY!!

Bridging the Gap with a Book

Have you ever had something happen to you and you just KNOW it is a Direct Gift from God?  I have been fortunate to have had this happen to me several times in my life. God has been a Huge part of my life and I can safely say that I would not be here today if he was not walking along side me every single day.... many days carrying me.  
You can go back and look at some of my past posts to see what I mean exactly.  

Today I have to share with you the little Miracle that God did for me and my Family just a few weeks ago.
