Back pain anyone???

Are you a blogger? Got a kid that spends too much time at the computer? Do you have funny pains around your body you don't know how you got them? or what caused them?

Take a look at this article and watch the video.




Happy blogging!!!

Have you laughed today?

No, this is not the cheese commercial! And yes, I could have given this a complete different title like: "the Joy of Having Children!"

I have this video bookmarked on my favorites on my YouTube Channel and if I am having a bad day (looking at my circumstances and not at Jesus; being grumpy instead of grateful) then I watch this video.

Give it a try! You might like it!! :) Blessings, Tereza

Recycle, Reuse and LEARN!!

I was browsing the TED talks one night and found Arvind Gupta. What an amazing guy!!

He turns trash into toys. Go listen to him talk and explain how recycling trash he is giving children in India the joy of playing and learning about science. 

I found his website HERE complete with a list of toys and photos explaining how to make each one of them.

Now, that is some cheap fun that can last a whole summer!!

PS: Christina Pilkington wrote an amazing post about out-of-the-ordinary Spring Activities to do with your kids.

Seeds of Worship

A few years back I bought a couple of CDs of Seeds of Worship. 

Songs based on Scripture with captivating melodies, 

the children and I love them. 

Our CDs are always playing in our car.

Now, you can hear them for FREE directly from their website. Pick the Cd you like and just play them. 

I love that we hear the songs and learn the Scriptures without having to make a purchase if we so choose.
 The cool thing is that you can preview the albums and decide which ones you really want.

Unschooling defined.

I read this ARTICLE and it said it all.

If you are a homeschooler or unschooler wondering about college... maybe self doubting the education you are giving your child or maybe wondering about the future.... I think the ARTICLE will help you.

It helped me. :)

Look what I found!!

Here is a great talk on microbes!! Bacteria, virus and more from an expert who is a Christian and has a Biblical view of Creation!! cool, huh?? and for FREE!! So if you have middle aged children or high schoolers or just curious homeschoolers show them this video.

And at my local library I found this book: The Adventures of Micki Microbe. I haven't read it yet to the children, but it looks very interesting!!

Would you like to find out how to homeschool for FREE or keep your children learning? Then check out the list of blogs and websites that I posted on the top right side of my blog. All these links have so much information and fun learning games, worksheets, videos and more for FREE!!

Besides my local library, the internet is my other resource that I use to teach my children daily. Why limit yourself to boring textbooks while you can learn so much through videos, books and daily interaction with your children?

Look what I found!

 I am always looking for books that will have a story with depth and a Biblical worldview. I get tired of the superficial and humanistic books available to children nowadays. So Lamplighter books are a breath of fresh air. They are beautifully bound and have wonderful captivating stories.

My children love their Audio Dramas and from time to time they have entire dramas FREE on their homepage. We have been able to listen to Teddy's Button for Free that way. You can go HERE and hear the first 2 episodes for FREE. You will be hooked!!

Right now they are having an amazing Promotion on 8 items, including 5 audio dramas for just $99.00. Of course, I am jumping on board and purchasing that for my children.

But I found some of the books they sell on Lamplighter website for FREE on Google books. Here are a few with their links. Once you click on the links, scroll down the page until you find the sections or chapters and click on the first one. Then click Download on the right top corner and download either PDF or EPUB to your computer and save it in a folder. That is what I do and then peruse later for read out louds for my children. Enjoy!!!

**** If you are here and read the entire post here is another tip for finding FREE books online READCENTRAL.com and a link for a another great read The Gold Thread - A story for the Young by Norman MAcleod.

FREE!!! FREE!! FREE!!!

I had seen Khan on TV a while back and filed him in my brain to look him up on a later date. He is a genius who began doing video tutorials on YouTube and it has escalated in an amazing way. So now, it's available for FREE for anyone... there's Math, Algebra, Calculus, Chemistry, History and everything in between. Watch the video below to know more and then go check out his website.

If you have gifted children or you are just tired of teaching the same thing over and over to your homeschooled child, or you are just busy and want a break, his website could be the solution. :) I know for my children that enjoy computer work and like different flavors in their learning, they will love this.




Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
