Catholic Free Video Collection
You may want to check out my free video collection it includes many Catholic subjects and saints. Plus other educational videos all free.
Building a Video Collection.
Sometimes when you home school it’s difficult to remember or keep track of where you saw a particular online history, religious, or some other type of educational video that you want to include with your studies.
Now that there are several different online video formats available for free online video watching it makes it easier and at the same time more difficult to incorporate videos into a lesson. Some video websites tend to scare me with what pops up after your children view the clip your interested in showing them. Or there is a video line up with anybodies guess what will be viewed.
You can view my Catholic homeschool oriented video collection here.

Movie Review: Miss Potter a Story of Beatrix Potter
First Let me say that just finding the movie I wanted was quite difficult. I was actually searching for the BBC’s version of Beatrix Potter’s story which I heard from other homeschool mom’s had been an excellent history and art appreciation lesson. After searching and searching on Google and other search engines I found this movie, Miss Potter, The Story of Beatrix Potter with Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor.
I realized it wasn’t the same movie however, in hopes it was close 2nd I couldn’t wait for it to arrive for me to watch it. It turned out to be a lovely movie of the romance of Beatrix, it did not dig deeper into her childhood as I was expecting. Being a Catholic homeschooler I was expecting to see more of Beatrix home schooled days and I was a bit disappointed in that part of the movie. It merely showed slight glimpse of her childhood life.
Now if your interested in how she became a published writer or the how it was that she remained single all of her life. Then you should watch this movie. In the part of the movie where she goes from publishing house to publishing house is quite realistic and inspiring. To think, if she had stopped trying we never would have had her lovely tales and pictures books in our lives. Missing out on Peter Rabbit in Mr. McGregors garden! I can’t image it.
Another part in the movie I found somewhat comical was Beatrix Potter’s mother. She thought all her daughters pictures and stories were childhood rubbish and that she would outgrow them. She was the last person to understand that her daughter was quite famous and wealthy from her writings and picture books! That part alone makes a person stand back and think about what dream they can say yes, I can accomplish what I set my mind to do, with the help of God.
Based on those two parts in the movie, along with the beautiful cinematography and history of the times back in 1902 I rate Miss Potter 4 stars out of 5 stars.
You can view the details and buy a copy of the Miss Potter movie here.
Movie Night
Many of us can’t resist a good movie. Are you ready to watch movies but not sure if about finding a good movie and how will you know if it’s a good movie?
Going to the video rental store and looking around for a movie is a thing of the past. It usually ends in disaster too, if you have kids with you. They don’t give you the luxury of remembering why you are there and which movie you are trying to rent. Usually before you know it your faced with options you did not expect to encounter. That’s one of the reason why I decided to go online for movie rentals such as Netflix, PiusMedia, and Graboid.
If you haven’t rented movies like this before you should consider it. You’ll find arguing about which movie to watch can be pretty much eliminated. These movies can generally be rented in two ways, by mail, or watch them instantly online.
The nice thing about Netflix style movie watching, is the way each person in the family can browse through the movies at their leisure. Put them in an instant que or a mail out que. Then you can go in and rearrange them, remove or add movies. Controlling movie watching in your house will be a little easier than watching a movie the television stations thinks you should watch.
These movie rental programs are also great if you sign up your elderly parents or grandparents; give it as gift – many of movie rental companies offer great movie classics. Take it from me, my parents love it! At first, they were very reluctant, saw no purpose in it and now can’t wait to go to the que and rent another movie. Older children can even help grandma and grandpa to show them how it works. Help discuss and learn about the movies (movie reviews) with one another.
I discovered a new site (to me) in the past few months. This movies by mail site is one of the best websites out by far for families who like to watch movies It called Faith and Family Flix their values are high. You may end up paying a little more for the basic plan but the regular plans are very competitive. Their selection on finding good Catholic and/or wholesome movies is also great. Plus you receive One Free Month if you join at this time. I understand it’s run by a Catholic Family. Pius media is also a Catholic based videos by mail organization who offer for rent, the largest selection of Catholic centered videos I have seen! I think every homeschool should should belong to this company to gain access to their collection for teaching purposes. I love the way you can search for saints by the feast days during any given month, that really helps with lesson planning.
Blockbuster is holding it’s own with their Total Access. You can download movies from their site, or by mail or exchange within their store. And they have branched in the UK. My friends and daughter who live in the London as I understand can now go to Blockbuster.co.uk where blockbuster offers a free unlimited DVDs for one month.
Graboid Video
Graboid is not necessarily family oriented it offers all type of movies. You should supervise kids when selecting a movie. However, they have a good selection of with 60,000 Movies & TV Shows Basic version is completely free. If you already know which movies you plan to watch, this site can be very nice. You download movies directly to your computer for later or watch it immediately. The cost per usage is determined by bandwidth downloaded. It’s clearly marked and easily understood. They offer a free month and I mean really free , Graboid does not make you put in any credit card info before your trial, just an email (and they don’t bug you.) At the end of the month or when you have used up like 10,000 gigs of download bytes then you decide if you want a monthly rental agreement. They do not mail movie to your house. depending on the amount of download bytes your interested in. Full access only $1.97/month Get it now for FREE Personally, I think it’s worth the trail and the quality is great.
One other Movie access that deserves to be mentioned is RED BOX they look like vending machine at Walmart and other convenience store movies can be rented for $1.00. They began to offer a Free Monday Movie night that was scheduled to end during May. However, recently they extended the promotion you can receive as a text message.
The Free Movie Monday monthly code will be distributed via text on the first Monday of every month, beginning June 1. To register or view promotion details, go to www.redbox.com.

School House Rock 3’s and Zero still lots of Fun.
PharmaOmega Learn is designed for school-aged children who need omega-3 to help them focus and do their best in school.
Music is such a fun way to learn math! Learn anything…
Did you know you can find old and newer school house rock videos on Youtube? It’s not the same as having your own collection but it sure makes you reminisce back to the days of singing these tunes. I am sure once you see some of these, like so many of us you will be hooked and want the whole collection. But if your strapped for fund at least you can be safe viewing these videos from this website.
I don’t recommend you sending your kids to youtube unattended by a parent. Parents should always search first and view first. That’s why I post good videos on my site. Don’t get me wrong, I love Youtube it’s got some awesome videos on it, anything you could possibly want. Yet therein lies the problem. You don’t have to worry about clicking the a video here and having it turn out to have inappropriate content.
