  • The Power of Voice

    I decided to get back into voice lessons. I was tired of saying to myself, “one day I will get back into singing!” I sing around the house all day and look forward to singing hymns at church. I think it is time to do something more with this love I have for singing.

  • Geography Genius

    Someone posted this video on my facebook of  23 month old geography genius. I figured if a 23 month old can learn geography why not a three or five year old. So now as a family project we are learning the countries of the world. So far we learned North and Central America. Not only […]

    I always thought it was annoying to see babies use baby sign language, now I am completely sold on it.  Baby sign language is an excellent way to learn language. The key is to always say the word when you are doing the sign.

  • Education Starts at Home

    When I was in University, the professor said he could tell the difference between those who went to private school and those who went to public school. He guessed almost everyone correctly. I was the only one he guessed wrong. He was for sure that I went to private school. I grinned and said, “No, […]
