Passport to India

Posted in Holidays, and Homeschooling

A month or so ago, I learned about a free program being offered by Sonlight curriculum called Passport to India.  When you sign up for the program, you can receive a package in the mail that contains information about the program, a passport for each participating student/child, and a suitcase. The suitcase is actually a bank, so you can collect money for the Children’s Bible Club in India.  (You can still sign up for the program.) Starting on October 5th, a new video and lesson has been posted each Tuesday and Thursday.  We watch the video and do the lesson. …

Promise of a Lifetime

Posted in Christian Life

Promise of a Lifetime by Kutlass I have fallen to my knees As I sing a lullaby of pain I’m feeling broken in my melody As I sing to help the tears go away Then I remember the pledge you made to me I know you’re always there To hear my every prayer inside I’m clinging to the promise of a lifetime I hear the words you say To never walk away from me and leave behind The promise of a lifetime Will you help me fall apart Pick me up, take me in your arms Find my way back…

Heading to India

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

Currently, we’re doing a study on India, so Munchkin decided that she wanted to try to go with a traditional India costume.  We headed over to the thrift store to see what we could find.  We were able to pick up a shirt and pants for Munchkin as well as myself. (We’re going to be doing a Indian dinner and will be dressing up for that, so I picked up an outfit for myself while we were out.)  I found a head scarf for myself, but we couldn’t find one for Munchkin.  I decided to rip apart a skirt to…

Fit Mommy Friday: Challenge Week 1

Posted in Fitness

I had a pretty good week when it came to my challenge goals.  I was surprised by the fact that eating enough veggies was the one thing that I really had to try to get done this week.  I love veggies – all kinds, so it was puzzling that I struggled with getting enough veggies each day.  Then again, it could have something to do with the fact that we’ve been enjoying more fruit (kiwi, strawberries, seedless oranges) this week. Overall, I’ve cut down on sweets, but I did have cheesecake twice this week.  I made a healthier version of…

Having Fun with Yuck!!!

Posted in Reviews

Let me introduce you to some fun play with polymers.  What’s a polymer?  Well, that’s one of the things that we learned about when we started our experiments with our 4 types of Yuck from Buckets-O-Fun! Polymers are very large molecules formed by repeated patterns of chemical units strung together. Yuck is an acrylic polymer.  We had the chance to test out the four types of Yuck: Chunky (like ice cubes) Saucy (like applesauce) Sticky (um, like snot) Snowy (like light, bubbly snow) The samples we received came in four little labeled baggies.  The saucy, sticky, and snowy Yuck looked…
