Homeschool Fiction

As in other years, this is my list of the best movies I saw over the year that would primarily appeal to the man of the family.  They aren’t all new; I don’t get out to the theater that often.  I’m a bit late with the list this year (and a few short) since I [...]

I like to keep my favorite lists to only the top ten, but I love romantic movies so much I’ve had to make this one a little larger.  Without further ado, here’s the list of my Top Ten + Ten Favorite Romantic Movies (in no particular order):

Notting Hill
Just Like Heaven
You’ve Got Mail
The Wedding Singer
Sweet Home [...]

We’ve had a bit of rain where I live recently, and it’s made me crave a certain type of movie.  Since we’re in the midst of a fairly major remodeling project I haven’t had the chance to watch all of these, but I’m craving to (sometimes enjoying a bit of melancholy with a batch of [...]

This is a guest post from my husband, Greg:
As with 2007’s list, these are movies I watched (or re-watched) over the previous year.  They didn’t necessarily come out in 2008.  Since we usually wait for movies to come out on DVD rather than go to the theater, I tend to see things a bit late.  [...]

Due to the Popularity of my Top 10: Favorite Movies and Television Shows We’ve Seen in 2007 and Top 10: Favorite Christmas Movies 2007 (which I couldn’t improve upon this year after seeing several new Christmas movies) posts, I’ve written one for movies in 2008 and this one for television shows.
In complete honesty, the following [...]

A big part of my children’s lives are movies. We’ve met many homeschooling families who either don’t allow movies at all into their children’s lives, restrict movies to only “educational ones”, allow only one movie per week (or other predetermined timeframe), or at a minimum restrict the content of the movies the children watch [...]

After my family and I noted that the same pointy mountain kept popping up in various movies and television shows that we were watching, we started to wonder where it was. You know the one, it’s in every series of Star Trek except DS9, Roswell, Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, and many many more [...]

My kids love 3-D things. They’ve been having a lot of fun with Neave Anaglyph. It’s a website where you can “doodle in 3D”. Put on your 3D glasses and have some fun!
Some more fun free online games to check out are:

Sand Game (This highly fun game is a perpetual favorite here. We [...]

Contrary to television shows, people cannot be replaced by machines!
Computers are not capable of original thought. Humans are. Computers, and their software, only do as they are programmed. They cannot do more, or less, than the human(s) in charge of them have designed and programmed them to do. The world [...]
