An Elegant Floral Alphabet

By Sher Birmingham at 7:58 pm on March 18, 2008 | No comments

An Elegant Floral Alphabet by Joy Maria & Jennaya Dunlap of LightHome Publication http://lighthome.net/chkm/index.html

You can purchase their book from them directly or an ebook from Currclick at http://www.currclick.com/index.php?affiliate_id=2642

This is a great practice handwriting workbook. My daughter is delighted by the beauty on every page. Each letter of the alphabet has its own in color gorgeous flower, beautiful butterfly, and fancy letter. There is a coloring sheet to accompany each letter, many with scripture on them.

If your daughters are first learning cursive, you might need to give more instructions on how to make each letter then in this book. But once they have the basic understanding of how to create the letter properly this will give the great practices on creating them accurately. The girl who is just learning cursive and the one that just needs to work on her penmanship skills will find this book helpful and enjoyable, as well as any child who likes flowers or butterflies. This would be a absolutely great copy work for a flower unit study.

In the back of the book are extra copy sheets, notebooking pages and a word find. Every page also had a scramble game. The only improvement that I could suggest is the answers to the unscramble games. I went to http://www.zachwordunscrambler.com for help.

I am looking forward to purchasing more from Lighthome Publications.

Thank you and God bless you, Sher Birmingham

A movie review

By Sher Birmingham at 2:26 am on November 1, 2007 | No comments

Ladies, you know that Hollywood does not often put out a movie that is worth watching. And when they do it is twisted to the point that it is junk. Or it is made for children only.

Well, today I just watched a movie that is worth the time It is called The Ultimate Gift. There is a book out by the same title and so I would recommend reading it too. Although at this moment,  I have not yet read it.

The movie will make you cry, laugh, see the worst in people and truly see the greatest point of living and cry again.

Sadly there is little mention of God and that is from a lost man talking with a little girl. It is not negative towards God but NOT a salvation story. 

So if you are up for a secular movie with an uplifting message that will make you cry . . . rent, barrow or buy The Ultimate Gift.

Ok you all.  Thanks to a local friend we got something moving at our local Walmart.

She called the local store, they didn’t want to do much but then she called 1-800-Wal-Mart.  Well, she got a call back and they are removing that display from the front door!

PRAISE GOD!

Between her call and the call back I too called.  They said they will have someone contact me this week.

So if you want to remove these displays call!  They are responding to us!

“Twas the Month Before Christmas”

By Sher Birmingham at 6:35 am on October 2, 2007 | No comments

Ok I know it is only October 1st. But this is too great. Read it and remember it at Christmas time.

Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away
The reason for Christmas — no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About shepherds and wise men and angels and things.

It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say –
December 25th is just a “holiday.”
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit,
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X Box, and I-Pod,
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanza
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe’s the word “Christmas” was nowhere to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penney’s and Sears,
You won’t hear the word “Christmas” — it won’t touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, now Darden, now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen,
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith,
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace.

The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded,
The Reason for the Season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate “winter break” under your “dream tree,”
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully, choose what you say,
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS … not Happy Holiday!

Rant ! ! !

By Sher Birmingham at 3:31 am on September 20, 2007 | No comments

I walk into a local store, a ”family friendly store”.  AND what do I have to deal with?  My daughter grabbed my waist and wont let go of me.  She is 7 years old . . . She NEVER grabs me like that!  Upon entering a “man” takes his head off . . . Ok it is a machine that does this but it looked like to her a man taking off his head!

We couldn’t shop because she spent her whole time worrying about having to go back pass this man.  I am outraged . . . this is the middle of September.  I know in October we must be careful about going places but SEPTEMBER? ? ? ?

So if anyone is going shopping in Alabama don’t go into Walmart without warning your children of their ungodly decorations.Sher Birmingham, wife to Bill. We have 7 children (ages 29 to 6 years old) plus 3 grandchildren (ages 5 to 1 years old). Encouraging moms that they can successfully run a business, school, and keep house at Home! If you enjoyed this article, please join my e-group

What is up?

By Sher Birmingham at 4:35 am on September 13, 2007 | No comments

God has put in my heart to write two other books. They will come out themiddle ofOctober. . . if I stay focus.One is a 30 Day Devotional for the Homeschooling Mom. (God has given me 30 days and I haven’t had time to write them out but it maybe 31 before we finish.)

The other is for the Homeschooling Mom with young children . . . something that she can do parts of it with the children. I know she doesn’t have a lot of time to be alone with God, but she needs more than anyone.

Also in my study. I found out these two ebooks are going to be connected. THEY both are used with young children to teach the HEBREW Alphabet! Isn’t that neat? I didn’t know that the 2 chapters did that. They are NOT in the same book of the Bible so I didn’t have a clue this was going to happen like this. I better get back to work on them!

Any way I wanted to tell you what is up.Sher Birmingham, wife to Bill

Oh it is HOT…but Fresh Baked Cookies???

By Sher Birmingham at 4:54 am on June 10, 2007 | No comments

A woman in NH baked cookies on the dashboard of her car! She went into work and came out to freshed baked cookies.

It’s not just an expression, it’s literal! The lady used her dashboard as an oven and she’s done it twice!

Sandi Fontaine had to bake cookies for her co-workers and her husband needed her for errands. What did she choose? She didn’t have to. Both were done at the same time with the same equipment, er… tool? vehicle? Well, her car.

Fontaine first tested her dashboard oven three years ago. She said anyone can do it; the only requirement is for the outside temperature to be at least 95 degrees, so it will rise to about 200 degrees in the car. Temperatures in the area reached the mid to upper 90s on Wednesday.



Hot! Hot innovative idea too!

Homeschoolers unit! What can we cook our cookies in? What else can we cook in our cars. We can be in nice air conditioned homes and our cars can be cooking. OR we can be at the ball park and have meals for our families.

I am going to try cooking them in my car. Here in Alabama my truck can cook them I am sure. She said she needs 95+ heat…we get that most every day here. I hate to cook and heat up the house in the summer so my children think cookies are only winter time treats.

Please write me and tell me what you find that works!

Jamestown 400 years!

By Sher Birmingham at 10:14 pm on June 6, 2007 | No comments

My friends at Home School in the Woods   http://www.homeschoolinthewoods.com/  are offering in celebration of Jamestown 400 year anniversary a FREE Replica of Jamestown. We made ours this morning and had so much fun. Coloring, cutting and glue sticking the project together. It was so cool because this year we are studying from Columbus to Colonial USA to Revolutionary War to Pioneers. So tomorrow our study leads to Jamestown, and yesterday I received the email about Jamestown Replica. So the timing was GREAT.

While you are there please check out her free Civil War Unit Studies AND her wonderful Extives Link page!

I had already purchased my history for this year but I really like their Colonial Life
