American Family Association (AFA) is a Christian organization that, among other activities, operates American Family Radio. My family has enjoyed listening to the Christian songs and some of the talk programs on the station, which led me to visit the AFA Website several months ago.
Last summer, I signed up for their AFA [...]

I’m a unit study mom. I don’t think I could exclusively use textbooks and workbooks if my life depended on it. (Okay, I’d try.) When my oldest child was four, I researched various curricula and was completely sold as soon as I learned about the unit study approach. I purchased the [...]

James will be five years old near the end of April and has been showing more and more interest in “school” over the last couple months. He’s always joined Nicholas and me during our lesson times because…well, what else was I supposed to do with him?

Weighing It
Around 4pm yesterday, it hit me – I didn’t weigh in for the week! Oops. I had been thinking about it Tuesday, but Wednesday morning it just never came to mind. I forgot to weigh this morning too, so I don’t have a clue where I’m at.
