Homeschool Linkup #4

/2 Comments/in /by

In my life this week . . . taking time to reflect on how important life really is.

In our homeschool this week…we researched turtles a little more and the girls figured out what kind of an indoor winter garden we need to plant–so they have “fresh” food for the winter.

Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share… what works for one kid may (probably won’t) work for another!

I am inspired by… Sarah.

My favorite thing this week was… taking an afternoon off to sit under the electric blanket and read and be read to!  I love when the kids read to me.

What’s working/not working for us… staying up late.

Questions/thoughts I have… wondering if I’ll get this sweater finished before next summer.

Things I’m working on…  my first 2 classes at the school went well :-)

I’m reading… a new Kindle book–Finding Educational Activities in the Most Unexpected Places by Angie Kauffman.

I’m cooking…meals for the freezer.

I’m grateful for… life.

I’m praying for… Chris–a Mom of 3 who died on Saturday night.  I pray that her family has peace and understanding.

A photo, video, link, or quote to share…  our St. Francis dolls!

I’m linking up with Mother’s Journal

In my life this week . . . taking time to reflect on how important life really is.

In our homeschool this week…we started book reports this week and made a turtle habitat.  I’ll post pictures of that next week–it is very cool.

Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share… enjoy the gift of time with your kids.
I am inspired by… St. Therese of the Little way–I wrote an adoration meditation for kids and it really made me stop and think–it’s not the big things but the little things that we do over and over, and over . . .
My favorite thing this week was… making homemade ice cream.
What’s working/not working for us… it is not working to have just one shower for six people–waiting patiently for the other shower to be fixed and thanking God that we have the resources to pay for it.
Questions/thoughts I have… I’m wishing that we could have a dog!
Things I’m working on…  I’m starting a book club and a writing club, scribe tribe, at our Parish school–could it be the beginnings of a coop?????
I’m reading… a stack of books from the library about knitting
I’m cooking… getting ready for all my favorite fall foods.

I’m grateful for… a safe business trip for my husband–I missed him.
I’m praying for… Chris–a Mom of 3 who has been in the hospital for a week now.
A photo, video, link, or quote to share…  my kids love the Target breakfast breads and this is the latest flavor.

our breakfast all week long

In my life this week…

I was able to concentrate on the important personal tasks of being a mom–watching a child ride their bike sans training wheels, my big one going off to middle school and managing the ins and outs, a preschool who wants to be homeschooled, and giving support and love “on demand” to the child that needs it most.

In our homeschool this week…
This is week two of homeschooling the girls.  We are still “deschooling” and working on the process of learning not “just getting it done”.

I am inspired by…

Women who are honest in their approach to motherhood and life.

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…

The last few weeks have been going to raspberry farms, tomato farms and farmers markets so this week we tried to stay closer to home and begin a “schedule”.

My favorite thing this week was…

Getting my new computer!!!

Things I’m working on…

I’m writing a curriculum for kids who like to move, bounce and giggle yet struggle with fine motor skills . . . a work in progress.

I’m cooking…

Finishing up the canning–this weekend will be pickles.

I’m grateful for…

The love that my family shows to me and each other.

I’m praying for…

a humble heart.
