Have you seen this movie yet?  It is AWESOME!  I thought I would take today to give you a How Great is Our God DVD review.

We watched it at church last Sunday.  I’ve heard a lot about this movie.  One Sunday School teacher showed it this past summer in his class.  Many people bought the DVD and showed it to many of their friends and family members.  Others are using this as Read more »

Here’s a website that could get your children excited (or even more excited) about Science.  It’s Robert Krampf’s Science Website.  He has free Science videos, an experiment of the week and live science demonstrations.  If you’re like me and always mess up those Science experiments or just want a scientist to perform your experiments for you, then this site is for you.  Check it out – http://www.krampf.com/

Here’s a fun site that a friend told me I just HAD to try, so I did.  It’s a place where you can keep track of all your family’s activities on a calander, keep track of all your lists and be able to access them from a mobile phone, enter family pictures and get a collage on your screen, and much more.

I’ve only been on for a few days.  I won’t be able to use the feature about having your grocery lists texted to your phone while you are out because I can’t get texting on my phone.  What a cool concept, though.  You’re out shopping and remember your list is at home.  All you do is call a number and have the list texted or read to you right over your phone.  Technology….

I emailed it to each of my teenage daughters and told them to watch it on their own and email me back what they thought of it.  I even learned something here.

The video explains the differences Read more »
