Here we are at the gateway to the holidays!
This time of year is especially cozy for homeschooling families because we have the wonderful advantage of being close together already, and holiday cooking and decorating projects mean so much more when one is able to enjoy their homey effects all day long!
To help you get into the holiday frame of mind, we offer you a great recipe from Mylinda Butterworth's book, Just 24 Days Till Christmas and some great information regarding holiday decorating and gift-giving ideas.

Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten/Let's Get Ready For First Grade - Review by Kyle Zook
Stacey Kannenberg was a stay-at-home mom of two with a big idea. Actually, two big ideas. And we have to credit Oprah a bit, too.
The idea was to create a book that would encapsulate all of the concepts and ideas that would help children to get a head start on school, and really ensure that "no child" was "left behind." It also had to be a book that would stand up to the often sticky fingers of three-year-old children.

Drumstick Spinology(tm) By MJ Leppert
Every day, revolutionary discoveries occur from the most unexpected places. Who would guess that a veteran rock drummer, whose appreciation of fancy stick work would lead to a possible positive treatment for those with ADD/ADHD?
While it is still being researched in blind studies, the repetitive motion of Steve Stockmal's Drumstick Spinology(tm) stick-spinning method seems to provide a favorable treatment format for children with ADD/ADHD.

Tag Toys - Bringing Brain Development To Play by M. Joseph Leppert
Just as learning games have become an accepted norm for learning and memorizing basic information in math and reading, so have toys become a norm for developing brain function, motor skills and depth perception. Tag Toys is a company that is on the cutting edge of this "serious" approach to toys and playing by "stimulating and developing intelligence in the first years of life", from one to six years old.

Kate's Caring Gifts Presents Make Your Own Candy from Natural Ingredients! Review by Kyle Zook
What better way to captivate a child's interest than by making your own candy! And not just any candy -- the ingredients included in these special kits, available from Kate's Caring Gifts, are natural and organic -- not to mention delicious. Kids love to get hands-on and help mom and dad in the kitchen, stirring and mixing, touching and tasting.
