My recommendations this week:
I’ve read The Hiding Place before, yet I couldn’t even make it through the first page without covering it with notes and highlights!
It’s filled with amazing truths and insights still so applicable to our modern-day challenges — in parenting, homeschooling, and just life.
Add Popular Mechanics for Kids to our “awesome FREE Amazon Prime shows” we recently discovered! I’d recommend these for ages 8 and up, as some do mention sensitive topics from history.
Since I despise clothes shopping, I used to get anxious when a formal occasion meant that I needed a new outfit. Monthly deliveries from Stitch Fix have definitely helped.
When I packed for the Prayer Breakfast in DC last week it was such a relief to just reach in the closet for the one dress and skirt I’ve purchased from them over the past year!
Featured sponsors this week:
Oak Meadow was a beautiful discovery for our family in our early years of homeschooling. Their Kindergarten and first-grade programs helped foster an atmosphere of life-learning and simplicity in our home, and their curricula goes all the way through high school.
Looking for an inexpensive, yet quality kids’ microscope? Home Science Tools recommends this one for ages 5-13, and it comes with a five year warranty.
They also have a huge selection of science supplies from fun kits for younger children to high school lab items. Right now get 10% off sitewide with code WLOVE15!
