Pool Candy a Pool Floats Review

Ok, time for another pool float review! If you have a pool or enjoy going to the pool, you’ve probably heard of Pool Candy. You can find their floats in lots of places - like Target! And you can order them on Amazon! I really love the variety they have! And the cuteness of their floats! They really have something for everyone! And they were kind enough to send us several things to review!  So let’s take a look!

The first float we reviewed was their 
Jelly Beans Super Noodle! My husband claimed this immediately. Haha! It’s HUGE! - 72” long! Now whenever we go to the pool, this noodle goes with us. And my husband usually hogs it! 😂😂😂



Logic Of English Foundations Language Arts Program (Level A) - What Do You Need?

Yesterday, I posted an introductory review of the Logic Of English Foundations Program (Levels A and B). This is the program I've chosen to use to teach my kids to read and write,  Its a FANTASTIC program and I cannot wait to get started!  My review included lots of pictures and lots of reasons why I chose the program, but I decided I'd write a separate blog post discussing all of the curriculum necessities and supplemental materials to help anyone else who, like me, is shopping for curriculum and feeling a bit overwhelmed.  There are a couple of ways you can purchase and I'll try to explain them in detail.

Teaching My Kids To Read And Why I Chose The Logic Of English Language Arts Program

You guys!  I'm REALLY excited about this review! As a homeschooling mom, the curriculum choices I make are VERY IMPORTANT to me.  I spend a lot of time now researching these decisions. Truthfully, I can often become a little obsessive - spending hours upon hours reading articles, evaluating pros and cons.  But that's why, when I find something I believe in - something I believe is exceptional - I have to tell my friends about it!  That's the way I feel about Logic Of English

Now, I need to preface this by saying that we haven't officially started Logic Of English yet.  I recently discovered it during my hunt for a good reading curriculum.  I've done a lot of research online, read a lot of articles, done a lot of investigating on their site, and used one of their sample lessons to teach my kids and get a feel for how the program works.  After all of this, I was thoroughly convinced that this was the program for us! I purchased both their Foundations Level A curriculum AND their Rhythm Of Handwriting Cursive curriculum (for my oldest) on my own.  It was after these items arrived and I got them in my hands - and became even more convinced of their awesomeness - that I decided to contact the company and discuss the possibility of a review.  I just needed to share what I'd seen.  Since its very common for kids to complete Levels A and B in one school year, the awesome folks at LOE sent me Foundations Level B so I could do a more complete review!
