  “MOM!” How many times do you hear that word in a day? Over the past 25 years, I have heard that word at least 50 times a day. I remember the first time our oldest son said it.  I cried.  I thought it was the sweetest word I could ever hear.  Now, I will admit

Classic Mystery Series for Young Mystery Lovers

“Look! A clue!” my friend yelled across the carnival ride. We were on different seats on the Scrambler looking for clues! We were determined to solve our own mystery at the church carnival and our pastor had actually let us try! He had smiled with delight when we told him the clues we found. Maybe

Winter Break Bucket List

  Now that the cold weather and hot chocolate season are upon us, we often find it hard to get outside our warm house and be active. I realize that as much as we enjoy our cozy home, making memories outside of it is just as important as the moments we share inside. Thankfully, I

Teaching Science Without Textbooks
