Best-loved Christmas stories are read every year by candlelight in my home. Turning off the lights really gives a special atmosphere and quiets the family. I love to read meaningful stories. Don't miss The Other Wise Man—one of my favorite stories.

view | Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh Gift Set 14% OffGifts for a King!
Bring the gifts of the Magi to life and bring new meaning to our tradition of gift giving at Christmas time! These "original gifts of Christmas" are real! Real 23 karat gold flakes float like snowflakes in a glass bottle. Arabian myrrh and fragrant frankincense come from the same regions as the gifts brought to the baby Jesus on that very first Christmas. Both are resins, the hardened sap harvested from rare trees. Frankincense bleeds out of cuts in the tree's bark and dries into white "tears". Sweet smelling Myrrh dries to dark red crystals. This unique treasure will be at home along side your nativity set and will become a tradition that bring years of joy. Satin lined chest captures the regal spirit of the gifts given by the wise men.

view | Classical Piano with Mark Hopkins 30% OffEnjoy the enthusiastic, moving piano masterpieces of the great composers Chopin, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Joplin, and more played by my own son Mark Hopkins. At age 14, Mark listened to his cousin play the piano and was struck with ambition to become a concert pianist! As many homeschooled children are, he was totally self-motivated and driven to accomplish his dream. 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. I may be biased since he is my son, but I trust you will love it!

Hi!
I am Diane Hopkins, mother of 7 children (ages 14 to 34) whom I have had the privilege of homeschooling over the past 23 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
