I’m gathering my list of books to read for the next several months. I’m trying to finish all of these books before the end of the year. Some are part of scheduled book discussions and studies. Some are on my own. Some are in progress. Some have been sitting around waiting for me to get…

Kids in the Word Wednesday ~ September 28
We’re continuing to work our way through Apologia’s Who is God? book. We’ve continued to talk about how God speaks to us. {Creation, the Bible, and Jesus… in case you forgot from last week.} Isaiah 45:19 is one of the key verses in this lesson. I wrote that verse out on a piece of writing paper and…
How am I Studying 1 John?
Here’s a run down of how I’m studying 1 John. First, I’m using the schedule and guide from Good Morning Girls. Monday – Thursday we’re reading the schedule verse(s). On Friday, we reflect on the entire section that we read that week. I decided to use a paper Bible for this study. {Gasp!} Yes, this…
Educating the Wholehearted Child ~ Chapter 9
We’re in chapter 9 this week and discussing the WholeHearted Youth. I still have little ones, so I don’t have much in the way of commentary on this chapter. I hope those who have older children will share their wisdom. Here are some of the best quotes from this chapter: Your children won’t remember all…
Seasons of a Mother’s Heart ~ Chapter 4
I’m linking up with Home with the Boys for the next few weeks and reading Seasons of a Mother’s Heart by Sally Clarkson. If you’d like to join in, here is the original post from Erin with the details and reading schedule. Let’s start by looking at the scriptures we studied this week. These links…
3 in 30 Check-in ~ September 23
Time for a 3 in 30 check-in. Week 3 of September. Details of my goals are back in this post. How’d I do this week? Reclaim my mornings – I’ve been up at 6:15am each morning this week! No snoozing! That’s a huge accomplishment. I stumble straight to my reading chair from the bed. I’m aiming…
Review: Inspired by Finn Amber Necklace
Last spring, I remembered that a friend had tried an amber necklace for their son’s teething pain. Amber (or actually, the oil that is released when in contact with warm skin) is supposed to be good for teething, rashes, eczema, sleep, reflux, have a calming effect, and more. We decided to try one for Jacob…
Kids in the Word Wednesday ~ September 21
We’ve been taking a little break from memory verses and focusing more on worldview with Apologia’s Who is God? book the past few weeks. The recent lesson has focused on how we can know truth. We read a story about two boys discussing creation versus the big bang theory. The point was how silly it is…
What Are You Thankful For?
Did you know that today is World Gratitude Day as established by the United Nations? I’m thankful for: A gracious God who loves me and saved me. A wonderful family. The freedom to worship and homeschool as I choose. What are you thankful for today?
I’m Going to Women of Faith Imagine This Weekend!
I’m off to Women of Faith Imagine at Time Warner Arena in Charlotte this weekend. By “off”, I mean that I’ll be heading uptown for the day and return home at night since we only live about 30 minutes from uptown Charlotte. I’m excited to get “away” with my lovely friend Dee. I’m looking forward…
