Re: a great moment!

I am so happy for you! I missed many of my children's "firsts" and that is something that I truly regret. Your children are so lucky to have you for a mom. Your homeschool looks like so much fun on your blog, can we come? My boys don't have much contact with little girls :D

Re: Husband encouraging a different curriculum

I for one love that HOD presents the curriculum in a Christ-centered approach. I pulled my 2 youngest out of ps this year and we are having a time teaching Godly principles to them. I have by no means been a good teacher of Biblical principles to my kids when they were younger (I have 3 older sons t...

Re: Please help...confused & concerned mom here??

i don't know what your finances are but perhaps you could use some of the R&S Little Jewel books. I ordered some of them for Brendan because he can't sit still for Reddy Fox either. My 10 yr old really likes it but 6 yr old doesn't. He had originally placed in Beyond but Carrie gave me additional cr...

Re: update on my little homeschool

You may not feel organized but you do sound organized. You have a plan, your kids are doing hsing regularly, and like you said they are learning. Don't be like me when my hubby was deployed for 9 months and I had all 5 and the youngest was only 6 months old. People from my church asked if I needed h...

Re: Prayer Request - Feeling lonely & homesick

I can totally relate to the church ladies being friendly with you, but not friends. Holyhart had some good ideas. At your church, are you helping with Samual's class or going to your own? I found at my church I didn't really fit in with my "young adults" class for couples and much prefer working wit...
