I saw you listed this as one you would not have bought and I was wondering why you thought that. I had this on my list this year but couldn’t afford it, so I moved it onto the Christmas wish list for my dd, 13y.o.. She loves music and plays the piano and will start violin lessons in a month. I thought because of her interests she would like it. What do you think?

Hi timbuck2mom,
How about I post something on my blog this week that will give you some ideas for your jr/sr high nature study? I have some resources that I have used with my middle schoolers and I would love to share. Check in on my blog later this week!

I too am curious why you did not like Mr. Pipes. We have read 2 of the 4 books and love them! Of course opinions differ on everything…

Well, I can’t say I have found anything I haven’t liked yet. Quite the contrary. I have found so much I want to do with our children! It is overwelming sometimes because I can’t seem to fit it all in. The freedom we have with homeschooling is so fantastic and so wide open! I wish we had done the same with the older children! The best book I have seen so far is “Chritian Charm Book”. It teaches making the inside a heart surrendered to the Lord and teaches proper ways for a young lady to sit, stand, sew, just the basics. And that runs neck and neck with our chritian science book. Jeanne

I’m just checking in. I hope your dinner went well last week. I forgot to do the tag! I will try to do that tomorrow. I hope you are all well. I’ve been wondering how it all went.

To be honest I don’t remember Mr. Pipes and the British Hymnmakers completely . I know it is about two children who are taught the stories behind many of our hymns by an older man.
It sounds like a great book and I know a lot of magazines recommend it, but for us it just seemed completely boring. I am not the type to throw around the word boring much. I usually can find something interesting about most anything. But this book… it was a different story. I don’t know if it was because my boys were 13 and under or what it was exactly.
OHFarmwife, I was going to mail you my book but when I looked for it I couldn’t find it. I usually keep all my homeschooling purchases just in case I have a change of heart but I think I got rid of this book because we just could not get into it.
