This evening I was looking up Scripture memorization ideas and came across a Charlotte Mason site that offers a system for Scripture Memorization. I think we are going to give this method a try for the children/family memorizations. I have my own system going for my personal Bible memorizations and it works well for me. Here's the site:
Does anyone have any good recipes or suggestions for using leftover BBQ chicken that's shredded (for sandwiches)? Please share your recipes and/or ideas with me as I will be having some leftovers from dinner tonight. Thanks!
I'm sitting here at the computer with my coffee. It's almost time for me to head to bed already. I was tired today as Sugarplum woke up last night after having gone to bed (which is unusual for her) and then woke up this morning around 5:00-5:30a.m. She was in a pretty good mood most of the day. She was just fussy some tonight before bedtime. After Sugarplum went to bed, my older daughter and I worked on a puzzle together. We have a Prince Caspian 300 piece puzzle. We got probably about half of it done. We enjoyed spending that time together. I think this is something we might try to do more often.
I am looking forward to not having to run around a lot this week. Last week was pretty busy with my older daughter in V.B.S. This week, she is back into school full swing. I hope everyone has had a wonderful day!

Personal "To Do" List
I'm still working on the whole cleaning routine. I want to work more on that this week. My daughter will be starting back in her school work after having last week off because of Vacation Bible School. She did a little school work last week at the very beginning of the week but then I felt she just needed to take the rest of the week off. It worked better that way. It was quite a busy week and I am looking forward to things not being so busy this week!
Cleaning List
I'm still keeping things flexible. However, this week I would like to try to work some on the whole cleaning routine. I'd like to choose certain times for routine dusting, especially for the books and bookshelves. We need to have certain times when we dust each of the books on the bookshelves.
Blogging "To-Do" List
I would really like to get back to more blogging. I just haven't had much time to do a lot on the computer since we've moved. I haven't even kept up with emailing very well! This week, I want to at least get the following posts done:
Well, my quick meal of Ravioli and garlic bread was a saver yesterday! My older daughter and I ran some errands late in the afternoon. When we got home, my hubby told me he was going in early for work. We are so thankful for the overtime hours! That's such an awesome thing and such a blessing! But it meant quick meal if he was going to have supper before he left. The Ravioli was perfect! I got it cooked up and the bread was done just in time for my hubby to eat and then get ready for work!
We hope to have our internet set up at home sometime this week. I look forward to doing some more blogging. My best friend has inspired me with an idea to add to my blog. She is so creative and does such a wonderful job with all of her blogs! I don't think I mentioned that where we are now living is a LOT closer to my best friend! I am so thrilled about this as it means it will be a whole lot easier for us to get together and visit. Where we used to live, we were about 10 hours apart. That's not an easy trip to make - especially when you have children!
We have settled into our apartment nicely and it's looking much better. Our older daughter still has to keep working on keeping her room straight (don't most children??? LOL). My focus right now is flexibility. We have changes in our routine now and we need to be flexible. We may find that we'll have a new routine before it's over simply by being flexible!
The ultimate goal of Christian home education is to train children to impact the world for God. We want our children to not only hear and learn God's Word, but also be doers of God's Word. Therefore, we strive to teach them:
SERVICE - How to serve God and others
ACHIEVEMENT - To do the best they can in all they do from academic subjects to chores to serving others and more
LOVE - To love God and one another
TRUTH - To live their lives based on the absolute Truth of God
The name of this blog is the acronym for these four areas that we strive to teach our children:
S.A.L.T. - Service, Achievement, Love, Truth
