I had wanted to find the perfect ancient Egyptian resource. An ancient Egyptian resource which would not only be interesting to the children, but also to me. I had already taught this era to my older three children and I needed something which would give a spark to it second time round. Mysteries of the…

Carole P. Roman – Children’s Book Author {Review}
It is so unusual for vendors to send their products over to the UK, which in general limits me to reviewing online products, so I was thrilled to receive not one, but four books from the very talented Carole P. Roman! I have reviewed Carole's books before and always found them a very good fit…
Progeny Press {Review}
I am a huge fan of the literature e-guides from Progeny Press so I was very excited to have been chosen to review The Bears on Hemlock Mountain E-Guide for Grades 1-3. I bought each little girl a book of their own and downloaded and photocopied the guide straight from my computer. I was ready to…
The Crafty Classroom {Review}
Over the past few weeks my younger girls have been using How to Write a Paragraph from The Crafty Classroom: What is 'How to Write a Paragraph'? 'How to Write a Paragraph' is exactly what you would expect. It is a simple downloadable pack which takes a child through all the steps of writing a…
Doctor Aviation {Review}
A month or so ago the review crew were given the opportunity to be on a rather unusual review - a video course all about Aviation from Doctor Aviation. Aviation...how cool is that? Of course with a fifteen year old male in the house, we jumped at the chance and we are so pleased we…
“Trust Fund” from Mapelle Films {Review}
Every Sunday we put aside the time between church services for some good ol' family time. We always have slow cooker gammon ham, chips and vegetables, which requires very little work from me, and we always watch a film. We have collected quite a collection of Christian and family friendly dvds, and are always on the look…
Hands on History with Home School in the Woods {Review}
I am fast becoming Home School in the Woods biggest fan! I was blessed once more when I was chosen as one of the reviewers of their Time Traveler American series. I had a choice of New World Explorers, Colonial Life, The American Revolution, The Early 19th Century, The Civil War, Industrial Revolution through Great Depression and World War II. As we were…
Art Achieve {Review}
My two younger daughters have been enjoying art lessons from the Entire Level II from ArtAchieve. ArtAchieve is a company which offers cultural art lessons based in a country of the world and comes with extensive extra curricula ideas for extending the student's learning past just an art lesson. We were blessed to be on…
Planet 316 {Review}
A few weeks ago we were given a new review product, Daily Bible Jigsaw from Planet 316. I settled down each night looking forward to completing the puzzle of a day, only to find my husband had got there before me! So this review, although written by me, contains all my husband's thoughts, because, y'know, he…
CompuScholar, Inc. {Review}
I was immediately intrigued by the courses offered by CompuScholar, Inc. the company formerly known as Homeschool Programming. We use the computer in our school every single day and yet have never taken the time to do any sort of course or increase our understanding of information technology. I thought the beginner course, Digital Savvy, would be too…
Shepherd, Potter, Spy–and the Star Namer {Review}
You all know my daughter, Charlotte, loves to read. It was natural, therefore, to ask her to write this review after she had finished Shepherd, Potter, Spy--and the Star Namer from Peggy Consolver - Author. So without further ado I will hand you over to Charlotte. I was in want of a good book to get…
Bessie’s Pillow {Review}
We are currently heading towards the 20th century in our history and I have been happily reading Bessie's Pillow, a new book from Strong Learning, Inc. handily set right at the start of the 20th century. What Is Bessie's Pillow? It wasn’t my time to die back in 1906. The mobs, the murder, the rape. The blood running through the…
Celebrating Manhood {Review}
I have always intended to do something special for each child, possibly around their graduation from homeschool, so I jumped at the chance to review Celebrating Manhood: a rite of passage guide from Home School Adventure Co. What is Celebrating Manhood? Celebrating Manhood is a short booklet containing all you need for a celebratory night of fun for…
Home School in the Woods: Ancient Egypt {Review}
What is HISTORY Through the Ages Project Passport World History Study: Ancient Egypt? HISTORY Through the Ages Project Passport World History Study: Ancient Egypt is the brain child of Amy Pac and her family run company Home School in the Woods. The concept is a good one. The student is given everything he or she needs…
Times Tables the Fun Way {Review}
I was excited to receive a three months subscription to an incredible maths product from Times Alive online lessons with animated songs and stories to learn times tables the fun way. A8 needed a refresh on some of her tables and it was the perfect time to begin memorising some of the easier tables with B5.…
