April 5, 2013 - lexihenegar Leave a comment

I Quit

January 14, 2013 - lexihenegar 4 Comments

We don’t ever want to admit that we are quitters.  We raise our kids to keep on fighting.  We don’t raise quitters, right?  Well, I quit.  That’s right.  I quit reading 3 books this week-right in the middle of all 3.  I never do that!  But I had good reasons! 1)  The first book IRead more

I’ve been working on a read aloud booklist for next year (and the following years) and I’ve ordered a few books on my list to preview.  I’m not reading; I’m working.  This is part of my job right?  And that is exactly how I explain it to my hubby when he finds me curled upRead more

History DVD’s

June 20, 2010 - lexihenegar Leave a comment

At our house, books are our method of learning, but DVD’s are fun for a change.  Here are some history DVD’s that I just might have to add to my wishlist. This is the Drive Thru History Series that I have heard so much about.  Virtual field trip anyone?
