Keeping Kids Safe on Youtube
Keeping kids safe on youtube can be quite a challenge.
There are any number of wrong clicks they could make and suddenly find themselves faced with inappropriate content.
Sometimes it may seem that the best option is simply to make youtube off limits altogether. However, there are a lot of very useful things there that are nice to take advantage of if there is a way to do so safely. Kids can watch educational videos galore, or even a good old-fashioned cartoon to keep them entertained every once in a while.

Organized Homeschooling: How to Keep Those Records Straight! (Part 2)
The following is a guest post from my sister-in-law Lauren.
In the previous post, we looked at where to find all the papers you need to organize your home school.
Now, we must look at how to get all those mounds of papers organized into the filing cabinet in a functional and effective way! I also want to include in this organizational project, my own personal three ring binder that I keep out of the cabinet and on my “school shelf”.

Organized Homeschooling: How to Keep Those Records Straight!
I love to be organized! Who doesn’t? or may I say, who wouldn’t?! Oftentimes when it comes to home educating our children we seem to take one of the two approaches.

How to Keep a Baby Perfectly Quiet During School Hours
Okay, so I wasn't purposely letting him do this, but it sure kept him occupied for a long time! It worked a whole lot better than all the fancy independent activities for one year olds I've posted in the past!
Printable Number Concept Flashcards
I just didn't have it in my budget to purchase flashcards that I knew I could make.
As I finish making the various ones made that I need, I'll share them here on the blog so that anyone else that needs them can print them off too!

Excellent Christian Book Resource
My mother-in-law passed down the Lost in the Woods book to us, and I've been reading the short stories to the kids as they eat their lunch every day.
The stories are excellent – each short story contains a gospel message. The language is a little bit old-fashioned, which I like because it is helping my kids build their vocabulary. I don't think kids are as dumb as we make them out to be. My two year old understands these stories, and she is learning lots of new words as she listens too.
I didn't know where the book came from, so I googled the publisher, and I was pleasantly surprised at what came up! It was a treasure trove of quality Christian books for all ages! There are missionary biographies, Christian historical fiction and non-fiction, devotional books, short story compilations like the ones pictured, reference books, and more!
I have this particular book, and it is excellent.
I could spend a small fortune if I were to purchase everything that I wanted. I will be frequenting this site often.
Anyway, I was just excited to find so many great looking books all in one place, so I thought I'd share.
Here's the site:
Anyone else have any good recommendations for quality Christian books?
