Review: Timberdoodle Products

Wow...sickness has started in our home and does not want to leave. Beloved is on antibiotics and a very strong cough syrup. Me, I just have a head cold that makes me feel like my head is going to explode! But on to a different subject. I was given the privilege to review a couple of workbooks that are offered by Timberdoodle. What? You haven't heard of Timberdoodle! Well, you are missing out for sure. Go to their site and check it out.
We have a math curriculum that we use with Big T and Sweet E already, but it was refreshing to add in something different to the schedule. I will also admit that I do not have any pictures of my children using these books. Since I have come down with a cold my want/need-to do's have not happened. This book has been such a hit with both of the children. The pages are in large print, lots of colors, and easy to understand directions. I should also say that I love that there is a page on letting parents/homeschoolers know how to use this book. 


Once again this has been a great addition to our math curriculum. This book is to help with higher order thinking. Each lesson is in large print with easy to understand instructions. I had just as much fun going through this workbook as Big T did. Sometimes Big T seems to get stuck on certain math lessons. Like, he just can't get it (for some reason). So for us this book has allowed us to take a step back from our current lesson and move on to something else. He is still learning and developing his thinking skills (which is great!) This book isn't a math replacement, but we use this in place of math on some days for Big T. The first book I reviewed is a math book. 


Timberdoodle has many books from The Critical Thinking Company. When I order our homeschool curriculum for next year I will be sure to get a book for each one of my children (except Special K).Timberdoodle also has a wide range of thinking skill and educational games. (Many of them are on my wishlist!) I highly suggest, whether you are homeschoolers or not, to sign up for their free catalog. If you are trying to decide on a curriculum Timberdoodle also has complete curriculum packages. Oh...and one more thing. They have vodcasts about many of their products.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
