Thank you, Lucy! I kept going through my CDs trying to find a booklet. I did find the introduction to classical music one from many years ago. :) glad to know I wasn't missing anything too pertenent. So thankful y'all were able to convince them to continue producing the CDs. We love the Music compon...

It's ridiculous, I'm so excited I can hardly wait for school to start again... which for us won't be until Jan 9th (I babysit for a family so we have to follow the school year in our homeschool due to my babysitting). I'm just so excited to FINALLY be starting MFW, after over a year of putting off ...

I wanted to join in and share what we have chosen to do. Our children are involved in 4-H that meets at the local elementary school once a month. They show animals and love that brief (45 minutes) interaction with their friends. They also take piano lessons each week. A local Baptist chruch has a Sm...

Ummm.... we watched the Magic School Bus gets Baked into a Cake.....LOL Must have been a rough week at our house.

Just wanted to let you know that I can understand your pain and elation as you have your miracle baby. I am eternally grateful for the two blessings that God did give me. It was extremely difficult when I finished K with my son. I knew that he was my final child (I had to have a hysterectomy several...

Postby amelasky » Wed May 30, 2012 2:02 pm I have to chime in and add that when I allow my home to become a disaster zone and we get really off schedule, it so affects our school. I had to take an hour yesterday and get a section of our schoolroom in order so that I could function better! I would s...

Thanks so much! That was exactly what we were struggling with. I need to just bookmark that blog. Because it always has what I am looking for.

My husband and I attended Vision Weekend last October. It was a great weekend. Very glad that we attended. I would go again if it ever worked out again to go.

We loved EVERY week of K both times that we completed the program. What a wonderful year.

I also look at paperbackbookswap for the important books. I have found several great selections there.

We have used this website to help us memorize the order of the books of the Old Testament when using CtG. Now that we are in RtR, we are using it to help with the books of the New Testament. I thought I would share this free site for those that are need extra help. sundayschoolsources.com/classmat/O...

I had to chime in and give my thanks! So many times I have been in need of a tiny bit of help or encouragement or even needed something clarified. When that happens, my daughter is quick to remind me to ask my friends on the MFW Message board! :) I love it when she does that. I reminds me that I am ...

For those that gave their input, THANKS! This is the first birthday party in about 3 years that isn't "family only" Usually we go somewhere as a family, a children's museum, Six Flags, etc with the cousins and call it a party. This year, he was begging to have a party with invitations, and...

I just had to share the impact that ECC is having on my family even two years down the road. My daughter has been saving her birthday money that her great aunt gave her. She was saving it because she wanted to purchase Christmas presents herself this year to give to her family members. She just brou...

I just have to add that my daughter told me that she loved Kingdom Tales so much that she was keeping it for her kids when she was older! WOW....another tissue moment. I think we will read it again over our next break for a "refresher!" It's just that good. The discussion questions were wo...

Our kids accidently stepped on our headset (don't ask how it ended up in the floor to begin with...ha ha) and we bought a replacement set on clearance at Target. I call Rosetta Stone and they said that any usb headset will work.

I can't remember how to qoute this morning, so I'm going to try and answer the questions asked We are only on week 22. I don't feel that much should be removed or condensed from the year. One of the things that we love about MFW is that all of the activities and assignments are so meaningful. We hav...

Thanks

Not all of it us used in ADV. We continued to use it over the summers following ADV. My daughter loved it too much to stop using it.

I ordered Rosetta Stone Russian from MFW. My DD (8) was using the headphones today while listening to the Russian CD that came with the packet. I had asked her not to use the headphones because she was going into a room by herself with the door closed and I KNEW that inevitably something would happ...

We purchased them also, and felt that it was money VERY well spent. Our daughter has loved using them, even two years after Adventures.

I discovered at the beginning of Kindergarten with my son this year, that he could write equally well with both of his hands. He now writes only with his left hand because he says it "feels better." He eats, bowls and writes left-handed. In baseball, he throws right handed. Shoots hoops ri...

Well, we spent the morning cleaning house and doing laundry. We wanted to do that as part of Daddy's present. :-) It had been such a busy weekend that things and gotten a little messy. Then we spent the afternoon building the chicken coop and the kids had a picnic outside. We loved being outside in ...

My daughter LOVED ICDAT! I purchased the dvds for that program, and in my opinion, it was well worth it! They really made the art wonderful.

We currently have missionaries from Australia at our church. They are an awesome Aussie family that has a passion and heart to share the gospel with the youth of the U.S. My kids have had such a wonderful time listening to their family. It is amazing to me to see how much my daughter has retained fr...

Can you give me an estimate on what you spend on book basket books each year, if you don't use the library? I just want to have an idea about how much to budget for this. Could you tell me if your estimate is for just the starred books or all of them? Used or new? We really prefer to buy our books ...
