Living History Museums

The weather may still be a bit nippy outside, but don’t let that stop you from planning a visit to a virtual history museum. Many museums now offer virtual tours online at no cost. With over 2,000 living history museums in the U.S. alone, there are plenty of places to visit without leaving home. In fact, take a world tour! Just do an online search to find links. Living museums are an excellent way to find more information for book reports and assignments.

Molly’s Favorite Sites

Food Tidings exists to simplify the process of organizing meals for friends or family members in a transitional time of life. Food Tidings allows you to post days needed for meals, your friend’s address, allergies, likes, etc. and is a common site where people can sign up to bring meals. Food Tidings will even send participants a reminder a few days before they are scheduled to deliver their meal!

Crockpot 365 is another new favorite. This blogger made a New Year’s Resolution to use her crockpot every day for a year. I’ve already used some of her recipes, including the Chicken Cordon Bleu, which got rave reviews at the last church potluck.

My family spent the summer gathering all our favorite educational public domain audio recordings together in one easy-to-navigate spot.  If you like listening to unabridged classic audio books or old-time radio theater, you’ll love our new website My Audio School!

Another great site for audio downloads is Blue Behemoth. They have a large selection of Christian sermons available for download, as well as two free downloads every single day.

I use Talkshoe frequently for all my recording needs.  Talk Shoe is professional enough for my teaching podcasts, and simple enough for my everyday recording needs, as well. .  I record all my children’s Scripture memory onto Talk Shoe, then download it to the computer and burn to a CD.  The only equipment you need is an internet connection and a telephone. It is fast and easy!

Vision Forum is another favorite website.  I purchase a lot of books and sermon CDs from them, and their All American Boys’ Adventure Catalog is a favorite source for toys and tools to inspire my boys’ imaginative valiant play.

Bible Gateway is my favorite Bible online thesaurus.  I also like Classic Bible Commentaries, where I can find several commentaries in one spot.

As an avid birdwatcher, my favorite birding site is All About Birds.  With links to a free online field guide, tips for beginners, conservation news and more, I like perusing this site.
