Finding Books for Jr High and High School Readers

Image
I should start by saying I am not an expert anything. I am a homeschool mom with two in college and one in high school just sharing my experience. I had one child who loved reading and two who didn't. It is hard to find books for the uninterested reader, who NEEDS to read.  When my children were younger I read everything they read. Mostly so I knew what they were consuming, but also so we could talk about it. As they got older I did this less. Both my daughters read the Hunger Games series and really liked it. I couldn't ever get into it. They were older so I didn't force myself to read it. And we still discussed it. Mostly with me listening.  My son does not love reading. He has always enjoyed audiobooks, but in high school, he needs to be able to read without the audio option to help him prepare for college.  Here are some suggestions (besides those pictured already). As always check into it to see if it fits in with your family and what you wa...

Back to School Essentials

Image
Both of my daughters are back at college and my son in high school. I was just thinking about how we don't get sick much at all anymore. I know it is a combination of better diet, the right supplements, and essential oils.  Here are suggestions for some back to school support for the youngest student up to the teachers! For everyone:  For the littlest learners: Athletes, dancers, marching band and more: Study Buddies: Immune Support (or perfect attendance):  College bound: Everyday oils collection to give them all the basics A diffuser to keep their room smelling yummy and the air clean Satin facial scrub, we all know they have skin Mutligreens to balance cafeteria food, you aren't there to make them eat their veggies anymore Teachers and students: Here is to starting well and staying well! An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the ...

Making a sharing bag for MLM

Image
I admit I'm a bit of a purse snob. I love leather purses. Good ones.  I saw how successful a sharing bag was for promoting essential oils. So I set out looking for something that I liked but still had a clear pocket to carry the oils and maybe another for a promotional page, or business cards. I didn't find much.  My biggest hang up was most bags were completely clear. I really don't want all the contents of my purse visible!  This is my solution for now.  This bag came from Amazon I also ordered a large black purse organizer to keep things like my wallet, and feminine products hidden.  (Please excuse the messy house in the background, and look and the lovely poinsettias my hubby got me.) this is the front with 15 ml bottles in the pocket side pocket with my business cards interior with purse organizer  back before promo info    Here are a few ideas for promo info for the back of th...

The Portable Sewing Classroom

Image
This is my van before I leave to teach sewing. There are 2 sewing machines, 20 binders, fabric, 2 cutting boards, my large tote bag with my teacher things, and a giant rolling tool box. I travel once a a week to teach sewing at my son's home school group. That giant rolling toolbox has sewing supplies like scissors, pins, tape measures etc. as well as handouts. I bring it back and forth every week. Hopefully most of the rest of the items will be stored at the facility. Every week we put up and tear down a complete sewing classroom for 5 students at a time including 5 machines, ironing boards, and cutting boards. By the end of the 8 hours of class I will have 29 students, boys and girls, junior high and high school ages come through my classroom.   This one day each week is such a blessing to me! I love teaching a skill to my students, but even more is the spark of creativity that grows through the year. These creative kids do amazing things!
