Peregrina
I am still, technically on break from posting to this blog, but there may be a few resources that pop up from time to time that I feel are so good that I have to post them. Such is the case with this post.
Bible/Children's Bible Studies
Peregrina
Children's Bible Studies from a Charlotte Mason Homeschooler
I've already looked over a few of these and they look REALLY good. I think I'm going to try a few of them after the first of the year with Boot Scoot, who is tiring of all the coloring pages associated with Calvary Chapel's curriculum, although I would still highly recommend their curriculum if your children like this sort of thing.

bear, bare?
Because it's always confused me, here's a good explanation.
There are actually three words here. The simple one is the big growly creature (unless you prefer the Winnie-the-Pooh type). Hardly anyone past the age of ten gets that one wrong. The problem is the other two. Stevedores bear burdens on their backs and mothers bear children. Both mean “carry” (in the case of mothers, the meaning has been extended from carrying the child during pregnancy to actually giving birth). But strippers bare their bodies—sometimes bare-naked. The confusion between this latter verb and “bear” creates many unintentionally amusing sentences; so if you want to entertain your readers while convincing them that you are a dolt, by all means mix them up. “Bear with me,” the standard expression, is a request for forbearance or patience. “Bare with me” would be an invitation to undress. “Bare” has an adjectival form: “The pioneers stripped the forest bare.”
