I mentioned in my strawberry post that when we went to get strawberries at the u-pick we were pleasantly surprised to find out that there were saskatoons ready too!  I could not resist picking a pail of saskatoons, but I felt a little guilty about it because our neighbours actually have a saskatoon u-pick, which is only about a mile across the field from where we live!  Since the saskatoon farm is so close to where we live I decided we needed another field trip :)

We were blessed with a copy of Asia: It's People and History to review.  My oldest daughter is fascinated with China, so this was a great opportunity for us to take some extra time to study, not only China, but some of China's neighbours too. 

Well, here it is folks!  I have been leaving comments all over blog-land about this wonderful book I have been reviewing - Asia: It's People and History.  Now, I can finally give you my full review :)

To start off with, I have a confession.  I love geography and history!  I don't remember being quite so found of these subjects in school, but then again, when I was in school, I was taught very little geography.  I think my love for geography began when I was in Bible college.  I spent a good part of my Bible college years learning about missions and even thought for awhile that God was going to send me overseas somewhere as a missionary.

For the last couple of weeks Princess and I have been reading through the book Asia: It's People and History.  It is a wonderful book and we are learning so much about Asia!  Princess is fascinated with China and we have studied a little about China before, but with the help of this book, now we are learning about China's neighbours!  We are really enjoying it...  But I will have to wait until it's time to do my full review before I tell you anymore about it :)  For now, here is a chance for you to win, not only this great book, but a whole lot of other great books too!

As a homeschooler, I have heard the name of Charlotte Mason all over the homeschool world.  I have been curious about what the Charlotte Mason method is and have done a little research.  What I found out looked interesting, so when I had a chance to review one of Kimberly Garcia's books from the Write From History curriculum, a Charlotte Mason writing program, I decided that this was a good chance to learn a little more about Charlotte Mason and how the Charlotte Mason method would work in our homeschool.
