As we wrap up this school year, I wanted to share a few highlights of our 2011-2012 homeschool journey.

Recently I was asked to review ArtObet: A magical adventure of artists from A to Z! This DVD art curriculum is aimed at children ages 3-8, but definitely was a hit with our entire family! ArtObet is a game that is played with five children and their babysitter one sunny afternoon. This game uses a magic art wand (magnifying glass), magic beads, and magic string. The babysitter takes the magnifying glass and looks at one of the beads telling the {Read More}
