Over the years, with 6 kids, you can bet that we have had our run with Croupy Coughs. My second oldest, got croup chronically for about 3 years. You can bet that after a few visits to the ER in the middle of the night, how determined a mama can get to find an alternative way to treat this nasty cough. So here is the wisdom that has worked with us over the years and [...]
"As is the Mother, so is the Daughter." Ezekiel 16:44 Wow! Talk about responsibility right! If we weren't feeling the pressure before-man! Being a Mother is such a great privilege, but also such a huge awesome responsibility! So many days I feel the weight of it, and feel like I don't measure up. Am I doing all I should with my kids? Am I preparing my children for the purposes God's made them for? [...]
Do your children see you burdened with stress and anxiety? When you have a problem and you need help from another person, are you able to share your burdens with a friend, a brother or sister in Christ? Or do they see you allowing the Body of Christ to fulfill its purpose here on earth, through ministering to you? What do your kids see? Our kids watch us don’t they? I am convicted [...]
Teaching our Children to be Godly Friends The Legacy of Biblical Friendship: Part 1 Where do our children learn how to be a friend? The kind of friend God calls us all to be? They learn from having friends, experience right? They also learn from our teaching and what we model as a friend. I have a friend who almost every time I see her she brings some kind of gift (like a gift of [...]
Casting Our Burdens “When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.” Psalm 94:19 What do you do? When the cares of your heart are drowning you, and you feel like you are suffocating because of pressure and stress. Are you able to give them to God, cast your burdens on him? Are His Words in scripture able to help you let go and move on, on purpose whole and healthy, [...]
This past week we harvested around 70 lbs of Concord Grapes from one of my plants that grows around this picket fence surrounding my garden. We were able to make Juice Concentrate for the freezer and TONS of Grape Jelly. At the end of the day after everyone had an opportunity to either remove the grapes, smash them, stir them, strain them, or help with making the jelly... then the whole canning process. It was [...]
What is the most important Legacy you want to leave your children? Have you thought about it? I have been thinking about this a lot. It is very obvious for me to "label" the legacy ...Faith... but the next question I asked myself is where I have been re-evaluating... How do I spend my time with my children? Since I home educate, I have all day everyday with my sweet blessings; but how much of [...]
We've all heard the old adage, "You Are What You Eat."While that statement isn't literally true, there is much truth to the fact that what we eat effects how we feel, it effects our health, and it effects our self image indirectly & for some of us directly.I want to address 2 things in this post. 1) What we are feeding our families is leaving a legacy or creating habits in our children.2)We have to [...]
This could potentially be a controversial post. Many people's ideas of what is "healthy" vary so drastically, so bare with me. The basic concept is this... What habits we currently model for our children on a day to day basis in the areas of exercise, food and dietary choices, medicinal preferences, and even mental health (staying stimulated and not going stagnate) are imprinting in them habits and what they envision themselves doing when the grow [...]
I was recently inspired to blog about the whole "Socialization" controversy that tends to "attack" home schooling families. Its always funny to me when I get asked why do we home school? I have to laugh; because, if you have home schooled for any amount of time at all... boy... that question is opening a whole can of worms... isn't it! It is not a simple answer, at all. In fact, its probably one of [...]
