Read Aloud Challenge 10/6

-

I don’t even remember the last time I participated in Debra’s Read Aloud Challenge over at Footprints in the Butter.  It’s been a crazy start to our school year.   Some Reading Aloud or er uh listening to an audio book has been happening.  Not as much Reading Aloud as needs to happen but some is better than none right?

UnderTheGrapevine  I have mentioned this before but I think it is such a great resource so I am going to mention it again.  Ancient Faith radio has a podcast series called Under the Grapevine by Chrissy Hart.  A few years ago Dr. Hart read aloud the entire Chronicles of Narnia series.  These FREE podcast readings are still available on the website.  So we finished The Last Battle and we’ve started The Magician’s Nephew. 

Speaking of Chronicles of Narnia series We finished listening to the Focus on the Family Radio Drama version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and we started The Horse and His Boy.  This book is presented after the The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe because in the Narnia series timeline it happens while Peter and siblings are Kings and Queen of Narnia. I’d forgotten how much I love The Horse and His Boy  I am so glad that I get to enjoy listening to it as well.

Homer Price We or rather Honeybear finally finished reading Charlotte’s Web.  Supergirl is naming all creatures Wilbur.  Doesn’t matter if it is a pig or not.  I see a stuffed pig in future as a Christmas present.   Honeybear is now reading Homer Price aloud to Supergirl.  Supergirl also got to listen to King Tut’s Mummy: Lost and Found.  Mommy  read some one day and daddy read some on another day.

God King I’m hoping to finish Mara, Daughter of the Nile.  I also want to start God King  We haven’t made as much progress in Sonlight’s World History In-Depth part 1 program as I would have liked so we might overlap the end of Mara with God King. Oh we have continued to listen to Story of the World volume 1 on CD.

What have you been reading aloud this week?  Would you like to join the Reading Aloud Challenge?  You can find this week’s post by Debra here.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW START - NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspired to write about my new way of eating a
