Video Organization

Well I don't know about anyone eles, but I LOVE to organize! I honestly do. I love to try to find that "perfect home" for everything. Yes, my poor husband, bless him, thinks I'm a nut!! I am constantly moving things, and rearranging, and reorganizing. Enough said. I don't think I will ever convince anyone, that I am not a nut!!

So today I decided to organize my videos,....Melinda style!

Dilemma~ DVD cases are NOT child proof. I don't care if they have those little clasps, they are NOT child proof. My little mischief maker, LOVES to open DVD cases. She acts like they are books. Seriously, it's an interesting concept. Well when little hands are trying to pull out DVD's they tend to get bent and cracked in the middle part. The part that is held down in the DVD cases. I don't care if those little hands are 2 years old or 11 or even an adults. Sometimes they are hard to get out of those case clasps.

Solution~ store all DVD's in a DVD/CD case!!! We put them all in there, in order of series, and labeled the pockets. So we own all the living scriptures/nest videos. We put them in order of New Testament, Bible, Book of Mormon, Heros, etc. Then we put all our Little House on the Praries DVD's in by Season and Disc number. I also categorized them, somewhat. Such as all the regular movies, if they are more for the younger crowd, they are close together. If it's more of a learning show, living planet, creation science type they are all together too. If I wouldn't have had so many little distractions, and more time. I probably would have gotten crazy and categorized the Living Scriptures Chronologically! You know I should have given that job to Austin and Abby. What was I thinking. You know that will always bug me, somewhat!

Now in this solution of mine, I also solved another dilemma in our house, SPACE. I managed to get a whole shelf of DVD's into probably two tiny little cases. I need to get another case tomorrow to finish the job. We moved all our DVD's into our storage room, to keep little hands away. So now I have more storage, along with movies close to the TV. I simply put the case up on a top shelf, all together!

Simple Morning Time Geography, for the whole family.....

In our Morning Time we will be reading some fun and educational picture books to begin our family geography lessons. Yes I'm just starting this now, in March.... sometimes that happens. We've been studying geography in both our Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, and also our Mystery of History Lessons, so I don't actually feel bad about this! First up, for our World Geography.  I decided to start with a general world geography book. I chose  Somewhere in the World Right Now by Stacey Schuett.  This book is alot of fun. It discusses different geographical areas, showing some amazing pictures. It mostly talks about the time zones and international date line. I thought that would be a nice introduction, and something we haven't really discussed a lot. We started our week off with this beauty, on Monday. After we finished our morning time, and headed to our school room. You see, we meet on our couches, in our family room for a lot ...

The main and only reason I blog is to inspire others, help others, and well sometimes it's as close as I get to adult conversation!

So on with the Question.... We have ALWAYS had devotional time... it's changed and grown with our family. It's what we, Papa Bear and I see as the things our children need. Just be...

I am JUMPING OFF THE SHIP!!! So to speak...

What does that mean!??! What ship are you jumping from? Where are you jumping to? How are you planning on jumping?? Well let me tell you.... I am jumping into the great deep, dark and "unknown" world, I am planning on jumping Titanic style, Spread Eagle that is!!! No seriously folks, I have decided that for our upcoming curriculum, we are going to jump into the area of {dare I even say it??} Traditional Christian TEXTBOOKS!!!! {I can hear you all moan, and groan and say OH NO!!!!} Yes TEXTBOOK, tends to be a "bad" word in the homeschool world. It's one of those 3-letter words, okay so it's actually an Eight-letter word. I am not sure why TEXTBOOKS have such a bad name to homeschoolers. Actually I do, it has to do with the dumbing down of America. It has to do with short tidbits of information crammed into a lesson, bits and pieces of history... never knowing the whole thing. HOWEVER, you must also admit, that there are NOW so many choices in TEXTBO...
