Journey Homeschool Academy

Growing up, I always loved science, but I typically enjoyed my science classes. My teachers were generally okay, but I really hated the drudgery of memorizing seemingly random names and facts, that I was not going to use in the Career I imagined of having as a grownup. Now that I know a lot of home-schooled kids, I see the same thing: students who could really enjoy the sciences, but their parents haven't found ways to really engage them. Science is the hardest when it comes to home-schooling children of any age. I want to make sure they are ready for any testing beyond our home that they will have to take, and I want to make sure that they are learning what they need, but I want it to be somewhat fun so they stay engaged in what I am teaching. Finding a good program to fill in some spots in what I am already teaching is key. So if I could recommend one science curriculum for this year it would be Experience Astronomy or Experience Biology.  Tomorrow night, Luke and Trisha (the creators of these engaging science programs) are hosting an Open House you can get a look inside. If you have questions about the programs (or whether they’re EXACTLY what you need this year), they’re hosting a LIVE "Sneak Peek" call tomorrow night Tuesday August 27th at 8pm Eastern/6pm Pacific. They'll be giving you a virtual tour of the program, explaining how things work, and fielding any questions you throw at them. So get the kids in bed early tonight (or bring them along to check out the courses!) and we'll see you there. Be sure to register now so you don't forget. See you tomorrow! Register for the Experience Astronomy & Biology Virtual Open House MarksvilleandMe PS: The LAST DAY to register for either course is August 31. You have just a few days left to register. After registration closes you won't be able to register your kids until it opens again next Spring for the 2019-2020 school year.

Birthday Greetings

Our kids are always being invited to Birthday Parties and we like to make sure they have a nice card to give. These Greeting Cards from Suphouse are great because they are blank inside so you can fill in your own Birthday Wishes. There are 4 each of 25 different designs for a total of 100 cards, as well ad envelopes and Happy Birthday Seals. Add a gift card, money, or a gift and you are all set. 

I love that I have cards on hand and won't have to run out to the store at the last minute to pick out a card or gift. We are a busy family so having a stock of cards and gift items is really important to saving time. During the year when we see a good price on gifts for those our daughters ages we grab a few to have on hand, so that when our daughters are invited they an pick from the gift ideas and put together a present with very little effort.

Putting on Makeup just got easier

Add caption

So excited to finally have a lighted makeup mirror of my very own. I have bought them for gifts before, but never splurged on one for myself before. This one from MirrorMore is just for me. Sleek design with 360 rotation with two sides, one regular mirror and the other with 5x magnification.

The 5x side is great for brows, or getting stray hairs that don't belong on our face. I love that I can see up close so I can be sure to get my eyeliner on well.

I also love that this works with Batteries 4AA (not included) and an AC adapter which is included. You can change the brightness of the light with just a turn of the knob so you can see what your makeup will look like in different lighting. Now I just might try some new eye shadow looks for a nice date night with my husband.

Decorative Bowl Review

Recently I was able to review a really nice bowl. It is decorative and made from thick aluminum. I am really impressed with this bowl and everyone who has seen it falls in love. Right now we are keeping candy in it which really gets it seen by visitors. It stands out and has found a place at the edge of our entertainment center as you enter our living room.

I love how versatile it is and that it will go with most decor be it your living room, kitchen, dining room, or when you are entertaining. The measurements for this are 6"x 6"x 4" and holds 14 fluid ounces. You can see in the picture above just a few examples of how this bowl can be used.

This would make a great wedding, housewarming, or hostess gift. My readers can get an extra 10% off (can change at any time) with code INYOLIVE
