Inspirational Mom :: Helen Lao Baxter of Clear Path Solutions

I was impressed that they were specifically marketing towards women and make it easy for people to get their car repaired without the aggravation. You know how it can be when you get a fender bender and it takes 5 calls just to get a decent quote?

Mummies: Secrets from the Tomb
I love history. And my children are quite interested in happenings of the past, too, so it’s turning out that we make a pretty good team of explorers. So this year as part of our social studies, I purchased the Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer. Story of the World comes in four volumes: Ancient Times, The Middle Ages, Early Modern Times, and the Modern Age. We started at the beginning with Ancient times and kicked things off with cavemen. Recently though, we’ve been finishing up our lessons about Ancient Egypt and the Pharaohs. I happened to check the website for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles…
