One Call Away by Brenda Warner

As a part of the BookSneeze program, the next book that I got to read and review was One Call Away by Brenda Warner.  Wow. I had a hard time putting this book down.  I kept it in my car so that I could read it while I was in the pick up line and my sons school and I would find myself trying to catch a red light so I could read more.  I am usually not into autobiographys but this one was amazing. 

Brenda's life was a struggle and call after call and situation after situation, she still kept the faith and believed in God and looked towards Him in every situation.  I think that was amazing.  There were times that I teared up reading what she was going through and a couple parts where I was laughing.  She was real in all of her stories, and I could feel the emotion from her coming through.  This book has defiantely encouraged me to keep the faith no matter what happens in life.  I would recommend this book to anyone.  It is a good read and will probably hand my book down to someone else so they can read it and get blessed like I was.  Great book

Time4Learning

About a month ago I recieved an email with an offer to try out the Time4Learning website for 30 days in exchange for a review. So being that I got this email during summer vacation I thought I would use the trial for my son who just finished up kindergarten and was bored during the day.  I signed up all 3 of my kids, but my other 2 were a little too young and not as interested to play on the computer.  It was easy for my son to sign in on the days that he wanted to, and he was able to click on what he wanted to learn.  He tought he was just playing games but in reality he was learning and relearning what was taught in kindergarten.  The lessons were very simple for him to do most of them on his own with little help from me.  His favorite section to learn from was the math part.  I think that he felt good knowing that he was able to do this on his own and get the answers right. 

We did not get to go on everyday like I intended to do but we got good use out of this program.  I think this program is good for homeschooling, or just parents who want to give there kids extra learning opportunities.  They offer a low monthly price and they give an initial 2 week money back guarantee.  If I were to use this more often then I would definately sign up for it, but since I am inconsistent I do not want to get something I am not going to use.  I do recommend this site to anyone who is looking for some good lessons and extra learning for their children.
