Human Anatomy


I was frustrated that my daughter's 4th grade science book did not cover anatomy this year. She learned some different things about it in the years past but I feel this age/grade has much more understanding. So, here's some links I've found useful. We drew her body on a large piece of paper and will soon be adding organs to it. I have a feeling this is going to take a month to really hit hard on the point of it - but I'm ok with that:) Below are the links I found to be most helpful as well as a list of books I have on hand here at home that are going to prove to be helpful.

Here's the Proof! It Couldn't Just Happen by Lawrence Richards
Christian Liberty Nature Reader #5
Easy Science Activity Journals by Scholastic
God's Creation Series - God's Wonderful Works - The Creation in Six Days by Eric D. Bristley and Edward J. Shewan
Uncover The Human Body by Luann Colombo

Living Water blogger has a list of resources she has used for her children. Check out the link below. I hope to compile the information together that I feel is the best and make it into one lesson plan. However, I have no idea how long that will take. Just take these lovely links for now:)

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery.  So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy.  I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out.  I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing.  Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful.  I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips.  At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery.  I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible.  So my food options may seem different than ma...

Gardening tips on a budget

Matt planting our $5 tree. It's 3 years old now and is gorgeous!!! A variety of basil panted in a container. Our lovely calendula. This is a family favorite grown from seed. Cherry tomatoes. Squash Another variety of basil. That was just a bit of what I grew a couple years ago. Bean plant. Lovely lavender! Many times I've wanted to plant a massive garden or have several plants I could simply not afford. Not just that but other things such as mulch, weed blankets and more. I hope you find the tips below as helpful as we have. Please feel free to add your own gardening tips. 1. Purchase trees at the end of the season. We've gotten a few trees for $5 and $10 at the end of the season. We planted them and they've done just fine! Talk about a huge savings! You can also do this with bulbs and other plants. :) 2.
