Brandi Raae: March 2015
http://www.brandiraae.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. When Life Is Like a Box of CON STRUCT O STRAWS. Do any of you 70s or 80s kids remember playing with CON STRUCT O STRAWS? I do, and apparently this toy frustrated me. The caption my mom wrote on the back of the above photo reads: "Brandi's frustrated.". Story of my life. It stinks to have a glass-half-empty approach to life. My excuse? That sin nature thing. For instance, my mom vividly recalls watching me trying to roll over for the first time. She claims I screamed in anger a...

Brandi Raae: October 2014
http://www.brandiraae.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. Throwback Thursday Halloween Punk Rocker Fail. Oh yes, the 80s. Legwarmers, Cindy Lauper, Madonna, black lace fingerless gloves . . . there's a lot to love from that era. Oh wait, I almost forgot about Pac Man - I still love that game! Which brings me to a few more of my old Halloween costumes. I remember trying to dress up as a punk rocker lots of times. However, I'm going to have to say my attempts rank as epic fails. Which is probably a good thing.). I think I am in 7th gra...

Brandi Raae: Big Shoes to Fill
http://www.brandiraae.com/2015/05/big-shoes-to-fill.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. Big Shoes to Fill. I don't know what it is about babies wanting to slip on their parents' shoes, but it's so stinkin' cute to watch them hobble across the floor without losing their balance. Trying to walk in my mother's too-big shoes, and even on the wrong feet for goodness' sake, wasn't exactly easy. My mom's shoes aren't so big anymore, in fact, they're almost 3 sizes too small for my big ol' feet. But, wow, I had no idea just how difficult it'd be to. As 1 Peter 4:8 puts it.

Brandi Raae: Product Reviews
http://www.brandiraae.com/p/product-reviews.html
I've been reviewing products for The Old Schoolhouse since November of 2009. From 2009-2012, I wrote reviews for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and website, and in 2013 I became a member of the Schoolhouse Review Crew.

Brandi Raae: 36 Weekly Writing Prompt Ideas for Homeschoolers {Printable}
http://www.brandiraae.com/2015/03/36-weekly-writing-prompt-ideas-for.html
Sunday, March 01, 2015. 36 Weekly Writing Prompt Ideas for Homeschoolers {Printable}. A little over a year ago, I decided to spice up our Mondays with writing prompts. Best homeschool decision ever. My oldest likes to write fiction prompts, each story featuring different characters and scenarios. Because of the 15-20 minute time limit and the nature of his writing, he doesn't get to develop an entire story, but some of them could be best-selling novels in the making! My youngest started out writing stori...

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Super Fun Family Game - The Settlers of Catan. I'm interrupting my relaxing Christmas break to tell you how much I (and my whole family) love the game The Settlers of Catan! The Settlers of Catan is only for up to 4 players, but 3 days after Christmas my son had already bought the 5-6 player extension. It's been fun for all 5 of us to be able to play all at the same time. The gist in a jiffy. Probably best for ages at least 8 and up. Thanks for using my affiliate link. :).
