How Do You Prove Something Happened Long Ago?

Tuesday, March 16, 2010

How do you prove it? For example– how do we REALLY know that George Washington was our first president? What proof is there that this was an historic event? We no longer have eyewitnesses. George is long gone. How would you prove it? Or how would you prove that Julius Caesar was a real person? Says [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Allison Maslan, author of “Blast Off!”. All opinions are 100% mine. I was never a person who read motivational books or anything. I am a kind of “ad hoc/improvise” kind of gal. I have always been surprised at the popularity of self-help, motivational products. Years [...]

Bookswim: The Netflix of Books

This is a really cool idea, and I’ve mentioned it before here; it’s called Bookswim. It’s touted as a “Netflix” for book lovers– it’s a rental library lending program. You pay a flat fee once a month, create a queue of books you want to read, and the books are sent directly to your home. [...]

This baby is going on my wishlist for sure. Wow! I’ve recently seen the Amazon Kindle go on sale, but reviews have been mixed. So I did a little comparison shopping and came across this amazing device: the Sony PRS300BC Digital Reader. It’s pricey, but it’s still less expensive than the Amazon Kindle (by $60!!). [...]

Why I Love Paint Shop Pro

While Twittering (or Tweeting, or whatever the blasting thing is called), a few people were having discussions on photo editing software. I’m a big fan of the Paint Shop Pro series. I was unable to discuss it much on Twitter (I’m still struggling with that 140 character limit, sheesh), so I thought I’d post about [...]

My New Book

I am flipping, ecstatic! I ordered a new book and I can’t wait until it comes in! For the summer, the kids and I are going to read through and study the Bible in chronological order (not in the order of the Bible events, but the order in which they were written). And we’ll be [...]

SAT Season

June is close approaching. June is the “big” month for the SATs (Scholastic Aptitude Test). We also have them in January; but here in New York State, blizzards are meticulously timed to dump 20 feet of snow on SAT Day, every January. It’s amazing, how coincidental it is. Hee hee! ANYWAY, I want my kids to [...]

Welll this is a “novel” idea (ha!): an online library, ala Netflix. It’s called BookSwim. It’s kind of like a library/rental program rolled into one. I checked it out. The selection is still a little slim, but it’s growing and there are some really good books there. This could be a real blessing for [...]

More Good Books for Schooling

I discussed my book methodology here, if you need a refresher. I’m continuing my posts on some good homeschooling books that I have found and work for us, in the hopes that maybe a morsel or two will help you! One thing I want to say is that I very rarely buy brand-new books. I have [...]
