Laddie: A True Blue Story  12% Off

My favorite book! From the eyes of the youngest child living in a big family on a farm in the newly settled midwest in the 1900's, we get a delicious taste of strong family values and faith in God through this tender story. Full of adventures and scrapes, love stories too—with a kind and devoted mother, a protective wise father, and a loving older brother as superb role models that I want to follow! A wonderful story I read aloud to my whole family—young ones to teens could relate and loved it just as much as I did! Paperback, 416 pages.

A House United: Teaching Self Government 

We know our job as parent is the very most important, but it sure is tough! Wish these kids came with an instruction manual. How are we parents supposed to manage? Or even survive?

When my first child was born, I had stacks of well-read parenting books. I had taken Child Development in college, and I "knew" some things about parenting. Was I ever in for a surprise! I think my college child development and parenting books should have had a warning sticker on them: Don't try this at home—it's harder than it looks!

Here's help! A House United is all about teaching children correct principles and communication skills so they can learn to govern themselves! Home can be happier. Home life can be peaceful. Yay!

Learn through stories, examples, and questions & answers. Even tough teens respond to the principles taught in this book. Excellent, down-to-earth help for parents to make life better. 383 Pages, paperback.

Pearls to Remember
Ladies White Stretch Pearl Bracelet 

When I was searching for a very special gift for my daughter Emily upon her graduation, I found this lovely, classic bracelet of large freshwater pearls and Austrian crystals. She loves it and wears it every day! The stretch band makes it simple to put on, and makes for a snug fit, rather than a loose bracelet that slides around and is cumbersome. This bracelet is so sparkly and lovely-the photo does not do it justice! This fine piece of jewelry is remarkably low-priced. I found myself buying one for a bride, then one for a special birthday, and another one for a religious event . . . one for every occasion where I wanted a young lady to feel very beautiful and special. Get one for yourself, you'll wear it often and feel pretty!

My Favorite Game: Anagrams! 

Popular as a Victorian parlor game, this old-fashioned letter game is our family's tradition whenever we get together for holidays! It is my personal favorite and the game I always want to play. I must admit I am a bit biased, having reigned as the "Anagrams Queen" until my children grew into smart teens who could beat me at it. My sister always provides a huge challenge to keeping that title as well! The game is very simple and can be learned in minutes. Letter tiles are flipped over one by one, and as soon as a word comes to mind, you can claim it. All players are thinking and searching for words at the same time. This is a truly educational game, reinforcing good spelling and teaching vocabulary! Players are also studying everyone's already-created words to see if the addition of a few more letters would make a new word to claim as their own. This takes brainpower and is incredibly fun and challenging. Game set includes letter tiles, plastic storage tube, and full instructions on many game variations. (Product packaged with the title "Snatch-It".) Highly recommended!

So, I am thrilled to share my discovery with you! Ooooh— this is Belgian chocolate: creamy, rich and incredible. You won't believe it is sugar-free!

Whole Foods for the Whole Family  

La Leche League (the breast-feeding moms' group) did what it takes a lifetime to do-gather recipes from mothers all over the nation who have converted over to whole foods (meaning whole grains rather than refined flours, and honey or fruit sweeteners instead of sugar). My copy of this excellent cookbook is bedraggled and beloved. Now, it has been printed with a hard cover and large spiral binding so yours won't wear out like mine did! All 900 recipes have passed the taste test and are wholesome and nutritious. Quick and complete, make-it-from-scratch instructions make this valuable indeed. This book's "Making Your Own" section taught me how to make my own cream of mushroom soup, granola, enchilada sauce, and buttermilk. Instructions are also given on how to cook all the grains and beans, and what to serve them with to create a protein complement. Besides your normal cookbook sections of breads, main dishes (meat and meatless), and desserts, wonderful information is also included on breakfasts, lunch recipes, baby's first foods, non-allergenic recipes, sprouting, and using natural food dyes for Easter eggs or in cooking. I have often referred to the quick meals listed in the section entitled, "When It's 4 o'clock" to find out what I can scurry together for dinner. You will use it daily—one of my favorite cookbooks! 364 pages.

Nourishing Traditions 

In no period of our history have Americans been so concerned about the subject of diet and nutrition. Heart disease and cancer were rare at the turn of the century. Today, chronic illness afflicts nearly half of all Americans and causes three out of four deaths in the United States. In this unique cookbook, author Sally Fallon challenges the "politically correct" diet and nutrition of our day. The recipes are based upon traditional cooking methods and ingredients that have created good health in the people who ate that way for centuries. Many well-known cooking methods and knowledge which creates good health and which have been lost are brought back to light in this book. This is not just a cookbook either—my favorite parts are the interesting traditional cooking methods, eating habits of people around the world, and voluminous research data found on each page next to the recipes. Here are the much needed recipes to put the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration into practice. Paperback, 618 pages.

At age 14, Mark listened to his cousin play the piano and was struck with ambition to become a concert pianist!

Mark loves classical piano and has performed his personal favorites, some of the most beautiful and touching pieces ever written. Mark tells his own journey of learning how to play, having amazing opportunities come his way, and his quest for how to consecrate his musical talent to God's glory in the accompanying leaflet. This 7-track CD is full of excitement and emotion, and is sure to motivate those who are wondering if their piano practice will ever pay off.

How to Hug a Porcupine 

Is there someone in your life who criticizes you too much? Do you have a child who is so difficult to deal with? I think all of us have someone in our life that fits the description, even if it is ourselves! This insightful book by psychologist John Lund teaches us how to "hug a porcupine," or in other words, deal with those people in our life that are "prickly."

If the description fits us, he helps us learn how to control our tongue and seek to be emotionally healthy. Chapters cover the art of giving and receiving criticism, tools for dealing with those who are difficult to love or overly critical, having healthy expectations, recognizing your limitations, understanding nonverbal criticism, and more.

Take the 24-hour challenge—you'll be shocked at how much criticism you are responsible for! I found this book to be very helpful! Paperback, 304 pages.

Drawing on the wisdom of centuries, Stephen Covey's ideas are not only his own, but comprise gems of knowledge that he has gathered from every source. These seven winning concepts, of course, are founded in the gospel of Jesus Christ, but Dr. Covey writes in such a manner that all people can readily accept and enjoy the benefits of successful family life, no matter what their religion. What truth lies in these simple principles! Just striving to begin to live the "habits" has caused enormous growth in my own self and greater closeness with my family members. Highly recommended.

Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day 

I used to always be on the lookout for good, European-style bread. The grocery stores seldom have it, and if they do it is made from white flour and has a hefty price tag on it. I would buy what I termed "good bread" from specialty bakeries for special occasions. Although I baked my own bread often, my recipe was for traditional loaves of sandwich-type bread, not the tantalizing, crusty, chewy loaves of bread I remember from Europe. Then a friend introduced me to the super simple method of making artisan bread without kneading. It seems too good to be true, but after making 20 loaves in one week, I am here to tell you that it is ridiculously easy, fast and foolproof. It has revolutionized bread at my house! No need to buy it at the grocery store when fabulous bread is this easy to make. And it only takes 4 ingredients: flour, salt, yeast and water. Hardbound book contains 100 fabulous recipes for healthy ethnic breads, whole wheat hamburger buns, pizza, corn bread, and gluten-free baking.

Favorite Fiddlin' Music  30% Off

What kind of music do you turn on when you want some lively, fun entertainment to dance to, do chores by, drive along to, or just give you a pick-up and make you feel happy? Let me introduce you to my family's favorite: folk fiddlin' music! These wholesome, hoppin' CDs will make everyone smile! These are traditional jigs, reels, and country fiddle songs with a long history reaching back through pioneer times, early America's roots, and even into the Old World. No lyrics, just fun and energizing tunes played by smokingly fast fiddle, banjo, bass, guitar and mandolin, and other traditional instruments such as the bones. I dare you not to dance!

Hi!

I am Diane Hopkins, mother of 7 children (ages 12 to 32) whom I have had the privilege of homeschooling over the past 18 years. I'm a mom, just like you, and have those fabulous days and those not-so-good days like we all do. My hope in writing is to share experiences, and hopefully we can encourage one another in this wonderful, intense adventure of childraising--that is really what homeschooling is, after all.

Hoping to help, if I can!

Love, Diane
