Great Chess Class on OutSchool.com PLUS code to get it free!

My youngest son wanted to learn chess. I looked around for some type of class as this is not a part of my skill set. I was thrilled to find one and then it was cancelled. I was so frustrated! BUT, I was thrilled to find a beginner chess lessons on OutSchool.com  

Chess: 64 Mini Lessons for Rapid Improvement: Bite-sized lessons in chess strategy, tactics, opening ideas, and basic checkmates. Each video is paired with a detailed interactive lesson. This class is meant for beginners. You have access to the course for one year, and you can write the instructor a question during the first EIGHT weeks and he will answer you. 

The best part of this class is if you are new to OUTSCHOOL, you can use my code and the $20 class is FREE!   My Outschool Code: dB3aAvKb you are able to use to get $20 off which makes the course FREE!  

Chess is such a great game and teaches so many wonderful thinking skills.  It is fun for our students to have an interesting activity to learn as we head into the season of dreary weather.  My son is 12 and has found it very easy to follow and has improved his chess.com ranking since using the course.  A win for us!  

Let me know if you have any questions!  You can also use the code towards any OutSchool class if you are new to OutSchool.    Code for $20 off dB3aAvKb

Discovering Christmas by Amanda Jass Illustrated by Marina Halak


Discovering Christmas by Amanda Jess illustrated by Marina Halak is a 25 Day Advent Devotional.  This is a beautiful hardback book with gold embossing on the cover.  Each day features a devotional, scripture passage, questions for discussion, things to do, and a prayer.  (Read About It Talk About It, Go About It, & Pray About It) The gorgeous pictures enhance the book and you will want your children to gather around as you read. 


I consider myself an almost expert on Advent books as I own over ten.  I can confidently say I LOVE this one.  It is easy to follow along, has good topics, and is so engaging.  The book is designed for children ages 4-8, but I think you would be able to read with your children up to nine.   This would be lovely to use at the dinner table around advent, at bedtime, or for family worship.  I highly recommend Discovering Christmas by Amanda Jass!  


I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.




I’m Amanda. A children’s author, illustrator, wife, and mom of three girls ages eight & under. Being a mom is one of the greatest things ever, but it’s crazy hard too.

Between the discipline, dishes, tantrums, and messes, it can seem almost impossible to bring things like faith and fun into our days at home.

This is why I create engaging kids resources that you can trust to be consistent with biblical truth. Let’s ditch the overwhelm as we build sustainable rhythms in our homes, connect as a family, and help our littles learn about their Creator all at the same time!
