Fall Cleaning

Today, I opened up the windows and began our fall cleaning. I had gotten behind on cleaning again do to a few days of not feeling well and being ultra busy. It’s amazing how quickly things can get crazy when you don’t do your normal tasks. It’s nice to have things at least semi-organized now. Unfortunately, when I start to clean and organize, I tend to make a bigger mess. I realized that we just had too many things that weren’t being used, so I posted several (okay 14 and counting) boxes of stuff on Freecycle. I still have many…

BFS Assignment #102 – Try It, You’ll Like It!

Posted in Fun, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Assignment: This week I want you to do something for someone else. Do you have a neighbor that needs you? Do you know an elderly person or single mom that could use you? What about the homeless? Pack even one single sack lunch and give it to someone in need. Do you know someone in blogland that is struggling right now and could use a note from you about how much you care? Pray about this. Let God put on your heart the perfect thing for you to do for another. Now, here is the kicker…I DO NOT want you…

Our Week at a Glance

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Well, homeschooling activities are once again in full swing. It’s funny how we homeschool to have more freedom, but most activities still seem to revolve around the traditional school schedule. The only thing that is different is the time of day that many of the activities take place. This week, we’ll be starting up our 7 day study of weather. We’ll be continuing to work our way through the book of Luke. Munchkin will be doing her daily vocabulary word of the day as well as working on the vocabulary words that go with our weather unit. She is striving…

Remembering September 11, 2001

Posted in Family, Holidays, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

September 11, 2001 — the world as we knew it changed. Our nation came together. We worked together, grieved together, and prayed together. Let us take a moment to remember those who lost their lives on that tragic day. Let us take a moment to celebrate the lives of the heroes that put their lives on the line to save others. Let us take a moment to pray for our country. Munchkin doesn’t remember the events of September 11th as she was too young. Today, we will spend some time reflecting and learning about the events of that day. You…

BFS – Plop, plop, Fizz, fizz; Oh, What a Relief It Is!

Posted in Family, Fun, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Assignment: This would be a good week to tell about your worst struggles with a lifestyle of homeschooling. Tell about something you’ve struggled with and how God’s mercies gave us the strength to get past it. Also, share any curriculum/homeschool methods that have been a relief to you, i.e., a particular Teacher’s Manual or Homeschooling method that’s been easier for your family. Talk about how you felt when the burden was lifted and Oh, What a Relief it is! Homeschooling involves some sacrifices for everyone involved. It would be easier if I could go to the doctor or run errands…
