Milk and the Moon

23 Jan 2012

What do milk and the moon have to do with each other? Oreos, of course! Confused? Let me explain… We’ve been studying astronomy for science this year, and when I found this great idea for learning the phases of the moon through Pinterest earlier in the year, I knew it would be a must when [...]

In: homeschool|kiddos

13 Jan 2012

Can it be that we’ve already made it through 100 days of homeschool?! That is definitely worth celebrating, starting with Big J’s breakfast request, chocolate chip scones! This is my favorite recipe because I almost always have the ingredients on hand and they don’t take too long to whip up in the morning! As for [...]

Wow. Can this really be the last week of our book club already?! I can’t even tell you what a blessing this book has been to me. Every week it seems the chapter speaks to right where I am in my homeschooling and mothering journey. God knew I needed this book at this very time. [...]

I usually read the chapter for each week of this book club early in the week and then work through the Bible verses at the end of each chapter throughout the week. This week I didn’t even get to the chapter until yesterday. And God had a reason. I was in a funk. Not sure [...]

Seasons of a Mother’s Heart Book Club: Chapter 10

My thoughts will be short this morning – I am at the Relevant Conference this morning and the internet is WONKY, as my roommate would put it Discipleship can be a scary word, can’t it?! So much responsibility and pressure and …yikes! Add to that the fact that this discipleship is supposed to be happening [...]

Sometimes Sally says something in her writing that stands alone. I want to pass it along and just say a hearty AMEN! to it. I’ve been thinking about comparison and judgement, especially amongst women, a lot lately, so when I read this quote I knew it was the one to share today… “Homeschooling should be [...]

Seasons of a Mother’s Heart Book Club: Chapter 7

Such an interesting and thought-provoking chapter this week in Seasons of a Mother’s Heart on sympathy and our children! I had really never thought of sympathy as something I needed more of as a parent, but this chapter really opened to eyes as to what sympathy looks like as parent relating to a child. And [...]
