The Musings & Happenings of a Single Mompreneur
Out of all of the products that Christian and I have been able to review, this is definitely in his top 3 as far as what he gets excited about. I am so glad to have come across it. Actually, I suppose I will tell you guys about that first.
You see…I homeschool Christian. I suppose that at this point it can’t officially be called homeschooling since he isn’t yet school age, but that’s just a technicality.
How many of you teach your children about financial literacy and entrepreneurship? Both of those are definitely being added to Christian’s curriculum. I would much rather he learn the skills of saving and making money from a young age than have to learn the hard way as an adult. Money is not my sole concern in this world, but no one can deny that not having enough money OR not knowing how to manage the money that you do have can create a life that is full of stress and difficulty.
Whistlefritz has done it again! I am seriously so impressed with this company and their line of products. They make exposing your child to different language fun with their immersive language techniques. As you guys may know, I homeschool my son and am intent on him learning multiple languages — namely Spanish and French. However, I am not fluent in either so I am having to use a variety of resources to teach him.
Many states are celebrating College Savings Day today (May 29th) in order to promote their 529 savings programs. I was lucky enough to be invited to a blogger event yesterday (more on that awesome experience here) where I learned about my state’s program and what it can mean for our children and grandchildren. I’ll admit that lately have I have been very disillusioned by the postsecondary educational system.

And phrases like ‘a quarter til’ and ‘half past’ that we take for granted just seem to make their brains melt. Tic Toc Time takes a holistic approach to teaching time; a family of beavers leads a progression of fun games that first explain using a compass and the movement of the sun and shadows before logically arriving at both digital and analog time-telling.
