Enter to WIN a new Rosetta Stone!

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Rosetta Stone is the fastest way to learn a language and has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while — and you can WIN the *all new* version 3 Rosetta Stone Homeschool LATIN program… FOR FREE! This is the first year you can get Latin in the brand new Version III update.

This is a $259 program (and believe me it’s worth every penny!)This is a computer based curriculum and Rosetta Stone will also include a headset with microphone, and a supplementary “Audio Companion” CD so you can practice lessons in the car, on the go, or where-ever! Students participate in life-like conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone incorporates listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and writing along with speaking and pronunciation lessons. For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program to allow parents to easily enroll up to ten students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, grade completed work (the program grades the work automatically as the students progress- I love that!), and you can view and print reports for transcripts. Homeschooling a lot of kids at your house? This program is designed to enroll and track up to ten students (five users on two computers) and will work for nearly all ages — from beginning readers up to college students.
To win this most excellent Latin program copy these paragraphs and post them in (or as) your next blog post, and/OR link to the contest from your facebook page and/OR email the information to your homeschool support group – Then go to the original page http://Jeneralities.com and leave a comment saying that you’ve posted about, or have linked to, the contest. Please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post. And good luck!

Pray for Baby Noah

Thursday, May 7, 2009

Many of you know the Estes family of Hands and Hearts. Their two-year-old son, Noah, is very sick tonight. He could use the prayers of all the saints of God. Please pray for him and his sweet family. This is personal for me for a few reasons. I met Noah when he was a small infant, before they ever knew he was sick, and he is a few weeks younger than my youngest son. This family is the dearest, sweetest family. And they have been through so much in a few short years. I can see God's Hand on them, and I beseech you to pray for him as you are led.

You can read their updates at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ourquiverfull.

Thank you for praying!

Not Me Monday

Sunday, May 3, 2009

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This is my first entry in Not Me! Monday!

Mondays are not my favorite day of the week. When Monday rolls around, my weekly chores get started up again. After taking Sunday off from laundry, Monday always brings full dirty clothes bins. Monday also brings floors that need vacuuming, bathrooms that need cleaning, children that need educating. Would I take a Monday off and do something fun? Not Me!

Maybe I need to challenge myself to take a Monday off and take a field trip with my children. We can't do it this week. We are taking time off from a few regular things to attend to a few doctor's appointments.

Our daughter fell on Friday night, and she broke her wrist. So she will need an appointment with an orthopedic doctor on Monday.

Our baby, who is 2, is sick with a stomach bug. He may need a visit with the pediatrician for evaluation.

The other 4 boys are happy and healthy. Thank you, Lord.

So would I take a Monday off for fun? Not Me! Not this Monday! But maybe one Monday I will!

Have a blessed day!
