RSSMy daughter, Jerah, is a voracious reader. And by voracious I mean she spends nearly all of her waking moments reading (she reads at the dinner table, in the bathroom, while walking, while she is supposed to be doing her schoolwork…). I asked her to collect 13 books she really liked reading so I could [...]

I have a whole bookcase dedicated to homeschooling-related books; not necessarily curriculum, but books that I use in schooling the kids.

What I'm Reading: Great historical fiction of the Middle Ages/Crusades

This year in history we've been studying the Middle Ages, so my husband suggested I read these books by Stephen R. Lawhead which are set during the Crusades. While this series—The Celtic Crusades—is definitely fiction, it was packed with great historical information. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them over our Christmas break.
