I'm learning so much about sugars that I didn't know previously although I have heard different definitions for some things from different "authorities " it's almost like y9u have to learn opposing views and try different things out to see what works for you. I have always felt best on more of a higher fat diet tho.

I never knew about set weight and how to raise or lower that. I do see from experience how much weight is linked to hormones.

I do like the act of bringing in family heritage into conversation with your kids. I do try to do that as often as possible but I need to be more intentional about it. I do wonder how this book can be so long I feel like she has already said so much

I appreciate how honest Amber is on her daughters struggles. It’s true that every child internalizes race differently based on environmental cues mixed with their own temperament. I am interested to see how she explained and addressed that subject with her daughter.

I really like how this gives you glimpses of different people in medieval times, also the poetry it’s kind of genius but it may be a little over my kids heads with the language. We are reading it here and there and I will update. I will also pick it up again the next time we cycle Middle Ages.

Not bad, I like how the author thinks although I see things a little less clinically. I enjoy when the science smart types are smart enough to admit they are in fact clueless to the majority of what’s going on here. That’s refreshing. He seems a little hard on religion but if I am honest with myself it’s probably justified

My daughter who loves Japan likes this, it’s just finding the time to read aloud to her so we can finish it up.

I appreciate how much Japanese history is in this book. We even look up some of the weapons etc in the story. Still finishing it even though we have finished Japan. The story is so pretty well written

I like the concept of classical education I just wonder if my kids attention span would even allow them to focus for the length of lessons suggested in this book.

This book is full of good ideas. I did not know beginning chemistry was a good idea for 3rd grade. My 2nd grade son is quite by accident already doing/ done what was suggested so next year we will spend some time doing some hands on chemistry

This book is so wholesome. I enjoy that. It’s a good book for both of my kids but especially good for my 6 year old son since some books are a little too complex for him

I like how large and close this family is. I find it a little strange how the parents have no first names though. Laney is super cute and my kids are enjoying this read aloud

I personally love this book. not sure how my kids feel about it though they seem like they could care less... but doing a read aloud that I like is important... its just an adjustment for us doing this during the day when we normally just do read alouds at night before bed.

Erica is 43% done with Calm before the Storm (Q Chronicles Book 1)
I have always felt the POTUS was unduly vilified by the MSM... I followed Q a little from afar at the beginning but felt all the speculation left so much to the imagination that I put it down until now since it caused me more fear than peace. At this point I can on one hand hold him in the highest regard to have hope while still holding on to the fact that we as a collective can alter humanity’s projection

What disasters can befall those who accept injections of any vaccine virus that can live indefinitely within?
This is a question many unknowingly immune suppressed people live with today. I wish I had read this book before I had my kids even though it wasn’t written yet. I’m grateful to have it today.

I’ve been out of touch with novels in general. But this book is still just as interesting as the last few Kate Daniels series. Nice rest for me instead of feeling overwhelmed with all the “real problems” in the world today

I had no idea about the DDT pesticide causing polio... I have heard of the change in definition where now Guillain-Barré syndrome which is a known side effect to vaccines being once classified as polio. whats really sad is how psychotic the original makers of vaccines are the inventor of the polio vaccine Jonas Salk he wrote survival of the wisest. his goal to cull most of the population through vaccination

So true, Its crazy that pharma even admits in meetings the goal to incite anxiety in order to increase sales and $$ on vaccine intake. So unethical and we put our children’s lives in these criminals hands 😞

i am more or less skimming through this she writes a lot about what she is doing in story fashion which is cool, but i am more interested in the GMO story not what she ate for dinner that night.

the getting blacker in the sun comment is something ingrained through racism that we as darker skinned people adopted. my mother also said it to me as a child. I was always outside and she would remark "you are going to get darker!" i was just dumb or smart enough to reply. " I like my skin when it gets darker!"

not bad writing. I did not know that people can have such a bad reaction to GMO physically, probably a mix of the glyphosate and the way the BT modification effects the gut. I have used the organic wash off BT and i can see how it effects cabbage worms esp. I don't see why anyone would think it is a good idea to inject that into our food... it seems logical to think modifying things could have unknown health effects

It’s good. I’m able to focus on comprehension and vocabulary a lot with this book. It is currently above my daughters reading level but hopefully not for long

Overall its good. I feel like in some ways it can also seem a little like giving up on the success of your child. I do not agree with that part while i do feel like you have to accept them as they are yet plan and expect more

I had no idea there was a stint of Married couples literally being asked to come to the elders if they ever engaged in oral sex! lmfao and Ray Franz was a prude but still was like... I don't think we should involve ourselves so much.
it seemed like there was some sincerity at the beginning with the bible students but there was a disease that crept in also known as Ego/Satan/Specialness
