The nice people over at Crossway sent me the tiniest little Bible to review. It is tiny! It is 3.5" wide and 5.5" tall and an inch thick! Tiny! I have the deep brown buffalo leather cover (more about that later), but it also comes in several TruTone covers (chestnut, black, and turquoise). This Bible …
ESV Women’s Study Bible Review
Crossway sent me this beautiful Bible to review. I'm usually not a "women's Bible" kind of gal (with the exception of the She Reads Truth Bible), so I was pretty surprised to love this study Bible. The ESV Women's Study Bible comes in a slipcase box. Can we start with this beautiful cover? It is …
Best Online Boutiques
I don't have time to shop in stores. Even if I did have time, I really just don't like it. Online boutiques are the easiest way for me to shop and avoid the mall. So I can look like I have it together a little bit, even when I won't leave my house to do …
Bible Tabs
I've been tabbing Bibles left and right around the parsonage. And now that I've tried quite a few, I figured I'd review them for you and tell you which ones were best. These are in order of how much I personally liked them. I did not purchase every tab available. That'd be a lot. But …
ESV Personal Study Bible Review
Crossway sent me the ESV Personal Size Study Bible to review. I'm not obligated to give it a favorable review. So when I say this is my favorite Bible of all time, it has nothing to do with it being sent to me. It is just a fantastic Bible. (Even the Pastor is jealous.) I …
I Was Wrong
When my children were young, I found myself in a homeschooling predicament. The problem was that we are Wesleyan-Arminian Christians, and most Christian homeschooling curriculum is not Wesleyan-Arminian. We haven't been very good in our tradition with publishing, and we're especially anemic when it comes to homeschooling resources. I tried a few Reformed resources, but …
Godbold Academy: Medieval Rhetoric Plans
The Rhetoric Stage is roughly high school. These students should be completely independent. Though, I do still include mine in Morning Basket, and choose at least one subject each year to do with them-- not because they cannot do it on their own, but just to connect. For Bible, all my kids who can read …
Godbold Academy: Medieval Logic Plans
The logic stage is about fifth to eighth grade. These students are largely independent, though I do try to pick a subject each year to do with them just to connect with them a little more. For Bible, all my kids who can read use the SOAP method of Bible study to do their own …
Godbold Academy: Medieval Grammar Plans
The grammar stage is roughly first through fourth grade. I group my kids together by stage because it allows me to work with them more easily. I still do phonics and math one-on-one during this stage. By the end of grammar stage, I expect my kids to be self-sufficient learners. So that is something I …
Godbold Academy: Medieval Morning Basket Plans
Morning basket is just a time that the whole family can be together each day. It is the thread that connects all the various ages together. We spend about an hour each morning together for Morning Basket before we break off into our three groups. We start morning basket by praying together. I usually ask …
