I cannot believe 2022 is almost a wrap! We had such a wonderful Christmas. David and I decided to create a train this year for presents and it was a lot of fun. Each kid had their own train car full of goodies from us and David and I had one for each of us at the caboose (my Mom had the engine and yes, she likes gnomes). Hope you had a great Christmas, here's to 2023!
D has been using her customized Timberdoodle kit for her 8th grade year. I want to share with you today one of the fun items included in her math component, Extreme Dot to Dot: Around the World. If you are not familiar with Dot to Dot books we are huge fans and our family has completed a variety of them. They are so great for increasing mental focus and we find them fun and relaxing as well. I am so thankful for the variety and selection that Timberdoodle offers!

I have some fun science books from Timberdoodle to share with you today, Science Lessons and Investigations Grade 1 and Science Lessons and Investigations Grade 3. Timberdoodle currently has these available for Grades 1-6! G has been using the Grade 1 book and F has been using the Grade 3 book as their science curriculum this year.
Questions explored in this book include:
Everything you need to teach this book is included. There are miscellaneous supplies for various hand-on activities and such that are needed but we have had everything needed already on hand in our homeschool.
I like that our books contain teacher support pages and an answer key for worksheets. There are vocabulary/words to know pages, reading selections with visual examples along with reading comprehension activities, I wonder and research/writing prompts and of course the hands-on investigations (G's favorite)!
F's book similarly to G's covers life, earth, and physical science. His book contains 14 science units. F's book as expected is more advanced than G's book and is set up for students to learn based of the 5E model: engage, explore, explain, evaluate and extend. So students explore and connect with an idea through activities, build on prior knowledge and experience, construct meaning and then use or apply their concept understanding in a fun way. It's a fun way to learn.
Topics explored in this book include:

B and C had their Winter Concert last night with CYBA. It was such a fun time and I loved hearing the different arrangements and pieces they played. Above is a photo of the Wind Ensemble.
I was recently given a CSB Lifeway Women's Bible (the Marigold LeatherTouch Edition) for review and it is so beautiful! There are so many features as well.

I feel like I have only just dipped my toes into all that this Bible has to offer. As I stated above, I really appreciate the wide margins. This gives me room to journal or take notes and I really like that.

I have a super fun Bible to share with you today, the CSB Explorer Bible for Kids! It has fun facts, timelines, great photos and more. There are even QR codes that bring engaging videos, discussion questions and activity pages to life. The CSB (Christian Standard Bible®) text is highly reliable and highly readable, it is meant to capture the Bible's original meaning without sacrificing clarity!
This multicolored Bible is geared for kids ages 6-12 and has 1472 pages. It is available in both hardcover and leathertouch options as well. I love that this CSB Explorer Bible for Kids is designed for kids to explore and interact with the people, places and things of the Bible and God's creation. The color-illustrations are fun and help keep kids engaged. I also think kids will appreciate both table of contents, one in order and one arranged alphabetically to help kids find what they are looking for. There are so many great elements to this Bible that help make it come alive for kids including Book Introductions, Christ in Context Articles, Excavating the Past Illustrations, Charting History Illustrated Timelines and so much more! We are really enjoying our Bible and it has become such a great resource for the kids in learning about God and his Word.
