I am often looking for practical ways to share wisdom with my sons without making the message overly preachy or creating a dislike for what the Bible has to offer. I was really pleased to get Luke and Trisha Gilkerson’s new book, Parenting with Proverbs. They do a great job of encouraging parents to apply lots of grace while also sharing the wise advice found in Proverbs when discipling their children.
The suggested way to use the book is to specifically focus on a topic of concern (laziness, truthfulness, pride, and so on) and share the coordinating verses, possibly with the help of discussion starters. However, I have been using it as a daily reading with my boys. My at-home guys are 12-17, and I do not think this resource is too “young” for them. Really, families with kids from kindergarten on up could benefit from this. We have enjoyed the quick lessons and have had some good conversations about how to apply the concepts to our everyday lives.
One thing I really like are memory cards for each verse that’s used in the book. I printed mine out on card stock and we use them for copywork/handwriting practice! So easy and practical.
The Gilkerson’s have generously offered to give away a PDF copy of their book to one lucky winner!

I am so excited to share with our new Great American Poets collection with my party peeps! It was actually a year ago at a Facebook party that people said they would really like to have this, and now it’s a reality.
So often the study of poetry can seem difficult for both parents and their kids. “We don’t know how to read it!” “It’s boring!” “What does it mean?”
Just as I wanted to make the enjoyment and appreciation of art and music simple for homeschool families, I am now doing the same with poetry.
Each resource introduces you to the poet and makes it easy for you to experience their poetry with no prep time needed. Heavy on videos, these collections will allow you and your children to let the language of poetry get into your hearts and minds effortlessly. The emphasis in these collections is on getting to enjoy and appreciate poetry for the beautiful art form that it is, rather than a focus on structure, analysis, or methods.
Additionally, these collections feature our brand new visually-pleasing layout AND the new 5-Day Tour user guides, so we can take you by the hand and give you a great overview of each poet in just a few minutes, accessed conveniently on your smartphone, ipad, tablet, or computer. For those of you that would like more guidance and done-for-you walks through our resources, you are going to LOVE the 5-Day Tours.
