(I realize the schedule for this challenge is to blog Monday through Saturday, but I am choosing to blog Sunday through Friday instead, and take my rest on the seventh-day Sabbath.) It’s wonderful when we can all get together, as a family, for family gatherings, especially holidays and birthdays. I’d certainly like for it to…
My daughter-in-law posted an announcement on social media today. It seems the due date is September 30. Grandbaby number 2 coming up! Exciting!
Another activity that brings the family together is dinner. Daily dinner/supper when everyone sits down together, and share about the events in each person’s day is important. Make the rule of no cell phones or tablets at the table, so everyone concentrates on each other. If it isn’t possible to have daily dinner time all…
“The family that crafts together stays together”? Maybe? Take time to work on crafts with your children and grandchildren…nieces, nephews, etc. I have observed that my daughter-in-law seems to have little craft projects for everyone to work on at my grandson’s birthday parties. He loves to work on these little projects. I enjoy scrapbooking, rubberstamping,…
There are varying attitudes about the celebration of birthdays, especially for children. Some people might think it encourages selfishness; in some cases, that might be true. I like to think of birthdays as a means to celebrate another year with which the Lord has blessed the birthday person. Take time to thank God for that…
I decided to give this blog a bit of a jumpstart by participating in a blogging challenge. I plan to share parenting/grandparenting tips, musings, perhaps even some homeschooling tips, throughout the month. I hope you’ll follow along! Off the top of my head, all I could come up with for the letter “A” is azalea….
Sometimes life’s changes are too big, too incomprehensible, for the heart to handle. They leave you breathless, and heart-torn. That’s how the past three years have been for us. Not all has been bad, not by any means. Frankly, life consists of changes, constant change. For someone who doesn’t much like change, things can get…
This has been a big week! My youngest got his driver’s license…after a long, drawn out process. About three years ago, he took a driver’s ed course through the Florida Virtual School. But he didn’t get his permit until last fall. Over the past several months, he has been helping my daughter with the driving,…
Last week we began our final semester of homeschooling. Here we are, with the finish line in sight, and it’s hard to believe we are actually (finally) here. I can remember back before I even began homeschooling this, my youngest child, thinking that by the time he is finished, I will have homeschooled my kids…
I’m a single, home educating mom, who enjoys learning along with my “kids.” They’re all grown now; my youngest technically has one more year. And my oldest has my one and only (so far) grandchild. And I have recently transitioned to being caregiver to my parents. Some of my passions are: photography, reading, writing and…
