Washington State Museums
March 9, 2010
This has become a very large project for me. I still have not finished all the links but it is time to post the museums here in Washington state. I couldn’t find a list anywhere online that had direct links and a complete listing of museums. If you share this list or copy it please credit 10odigits.com for the work. This extensive list is in alphabetical order with the city listed. Over time the links will get done.

“A Place to Share, Show and Teach”
March 6, 2009
Have you experienced Homeschool View Tube yet? What a great way for our children to have fun with media in a safe environment. The following is their mission statement:
“It is the desire of HomeSchoolViewTube.com to provide an online video sharing community that will provide a safe place for Christian homeschoolers to share, show and teach, while glorifying God.”
It’s a fairly new site and could really use some good homeschooling contributions. Maybe you and your family can get creative and add to this homeschool version of YouTube! Think of it as show and tell. Have fun, and send me a link if you make a video so I can feature it here on 100 Digits!
You can read more about the site here.

Not Just a Magazine
January 23, 2009
I have compiled a list of links for magazines that may be useful to you in your homeschool journey. I have had all of these magazines at one time or another or have checked them out at the library (oh, except Practical Homeschooling, but it’s on hold at the library so I can check it out). Please feel free to comment about magazines you read and recommend that may be useful to homeschool and/or Christian families.
- Home School Enrichment Enriching Your Life, Your Family, Your Homeschool
- The Old Schoolhouse The Magazine for Homeschool Families
- The Teaching Home A Christian Magazine for Home Educators
- Homeschooling Today A Journal of Home Discipleship
- Practical Homeschooling
- Creation Illustrated Bible Based Nature Journal
- Family Reformation Where Real Hope Begins
- Christian History & Biography

If you live locally and have a library card with Sno-Isle libraries, they have many popular magazines that you can read online, many in PDF format so that you can have all of the graphics too. (quick note: if you are in the King county library system but do not live to far from a Sno-isle library I just thought I would let you know that Sno-Isle does not charge any late fees) Also, you may be surprised by how many magazines the library offers to check out. You can check out magazines (not the current issue) for 3 weeks. Here is the direct link to the magazines at Sno-Isle:
I will be posting soon about using the library and all it has to offer. You may be surprised by what they have! Stay tuned!
Cooking School Online
January 22, 2009
We don’t have television in our home and the one channel my husband and I miss is the Food Network. I think I have stummbled upon something that is much better if you want to really learn how to cook. Rouxbe (roo-bee) is an online cooking school. I have watched several video tutorials on this site and it is just fabulous. It really is cooking school. What a great way to introduce cooking to homeschool students too. “Become a better and more confident cook” is Rouxbe’s goal! The video tutorials are complete and concise. I really like what they call their “drill-downs”. They go into depth about the cooking process of different recipes. I want to make their chicken parmigiana* & chocolate chip cookies this weekend. Try it out!
You can sign up for 30 days free and have full access to their cooking school. After the 30 days you would have limited access. The membership is then $99. for a year or $199. for a lfetime. 15% of all membership proceeds go towards Rouxbe for Life.
“Rouxbe delivers personal instructional cooking videos – via the Internet – to home cooks: people like you, who love food and are looking to expand their culinary repertoire and improve their skills in the kitchen.”
* I made the chicken parmigiana this evening and it was wonderful. I have always been intimidated by breading and frying but the instruction was so thorough. And to be able to actually watch the process first makes it a cinch, like you have done it before. I liked that they had you bread all of the chicken and set aside for a moment. This way I didn’t feel rushed to get them breaded and straight into the oil. I am not sure when I will get to thse cookies but I will keep you posted. I have learned a lot on this site this weekend.
Other great food stops on the web:
- Foodgawker ~ A compilation of food from differnet bloggers. Usually some really unique and great recipes. Eye candy!!!
- Real Meals TV ~ Your average cook, sharing recipes.
- Foodtube ~ A youtube of food!
Scripture Memorization
January 17, 2009
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education
Theodore Roosevelt
A friend of mine invited me along with a large group of women to listen to a wonderful message about scripture memorization presented by her friend Margaret Luke. She was very inspiring to me and led me to think about this more and determine a plan to do what God calls us to do.
Why should we memorize scripture? To know Him, to answer life’s questions, to know His path for us. To draw near to Him in times of blessings, trials and every day life. It is not only worth the effort, but it is essential and it is expected of us! What is better to memorize than the very words of God himself? What reason could you give for not memorizing it to the best of your ability? As our children memorize scripture in their schooling why not do it right along with them. God hadn’t meant memorization to be merely for kid’s only.
10 Reasons Why We Should Memorize The Bible:
- It will help us to focus on God – Ps. 33:11
- It will help us with our time – Eph. 5:16-17
- It will help us to overcome temptation – Ps. 119:9-11
- It will give us a working knowledge of the Scripture – 2 Tim. 2:15
- It will assist me in sharing our faith – 1 Pet. 3:15
- It follows Jesus’ example – Mat. 4:4, Mat. 4:7 , Mat. 4:10
- It is a great source of peace and joy – Jer. 15:16
- It will enable the Holy Spirit to speak – John 14:26
- We are commanded to – Prov. 7:1-2
- We will know the Lord loves us and has a great plan for our lives – 1 Cor. 2:9
Here are a couple of links to further your journey into hiding His word in your heart:
Do Your Children Enjoy Audio Stories?
January 12, 2009
Do you remember listening to these stories as a child on your record player? These were the small 10″ albums of pure excitement. You can listen to all of these stories and more online at Kiddie Records. They have many different options for listening and downloading all for free. The cover art is delightful to browse through too. I was fascinated by this site! It was a trip down memory lane and I know my kids will really like it. They will be selling the actual albums on ebay, maybe you are a collector? Enjoy!
Storynory produces free audio tales for children. You can listen to the stories on the Storynory website, transfer them to your MP3 player or even subscribe to their podcast feed so a new story arrives automatically on your computer each week.
Choose from classic authors, very short stories (for the smallest listeners) and fairytales. They have also adapted Greek Myths including the tale of Troy and the wanderings of Odysseus. And the saintly stories behind some of the major holidays such as St. Patrick and St. Valentine. From bible stories to the history of the Olympics, I think you will find a story that your children will enjoy. Of course, the storytellers have lovely english accents which makes them all the more appealing.
For more audio enjoyment check these sites for free downloads:
