Taking Charge of Your Family's Health - Okay, this isn't directly related to homeschooling, but it is, in a way, because we are all subject to health issues at some point in our lives. I've written a short ebook I would like to give to my loyal subscribers about how we have changed our thoughts about health in the last 10 months. I share the biblical model that we have switched to and why. You can access the eBook at http://www.essential-oils-info.com on the right side of the page.

Draw and Tell FREEBIE!

I have a confession to make....  I can't draw.  I can draw stick figures...sort of.  Despite my lack of drawing abilities,  I do have a little 5 year old that LOVES to draw.  In fact, she draws much better thanI do!   I knew I had to create something fun that incorporated some drawing so I could feed her need to draw.  Therefore, I created my Draw and Tell packet that allows children to draw a picture and tell about it by writing a sentence.

I created a FREEBIE for you from our new packet and I hope your kids love it!  Hop on over to The Moffatt Girls blog to grab your Draw and Tell FREEBIE!
