Gifted in Running!

It is happening... I have found an area that my daughter is gifted in... long distance running! She is good at it and she enjoys it.... I am not much of a fan of running so I am thrilled she loves it. I am going to run with her and doing it with maybe i will become a bigger fan of it!

It all started about 3 years ago when we walked up Rib Mountain in Wausau Wisconsin. As we headed back she started running and never stopped!

Then a year ago she ran in her school's walkathon and was the top female in her grade level!

This year she set a goal to run the entire time and she did it! She ran 24 laps which we think is roughly 3 miles in under 30 minutes! She again was the top female runner and she tied with the boy in her grade!

I know... I am bragging about my daughter but I do think it is so important for us parents to find and help mold our children in the area's that God has given them strengths!

So do I start finding more running activities, do I sign her up for races, do I wait for her to ask to go running?

This week she went running up some super steep hills and did great... hills I had no interest in even trying so thankfully my husband and our intern took her running on this camping trip!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
