My 4-year-old and I were reading a Blues Clues library book together for the first time this morning. I was reading the words, and pausing to let her name what was in the pictures for me. We got to this page, and I paused waiting for her to say “blocks”. Her answer was “rojo and [...]
The other day I was headed to work, and needed a project to keep my little one occupied (she comes to work with me). We have A LOT of snow outside – in fact, this was a picture from a storm that we had a few weeks ago that dumped three feet of snow in [...]

IndoctriNation: Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity is the latest book that the Moms of MasterBooks is reviewing, and it accompanies the movie of the same name. This book was a tough one for me to read. It is a radical cry for Christians to yank their children from Public Schools, and homeschool them. [...]
