I haven’t done one of these in quite some time. So, I will work on catching you up.
In my life …
I have been busy with numerous things, from our homeschool, home, and my job with A Journey Through Learning.
In our homeschool…
We are doing more and more lapbooks and less and less workbooks. Our Teach Textbooks is working really well. A few changes we have had…
K-1st are using Christian Liberty and McRuffy and All About reading for Phonics.
K-1st are loving Math Mammoth.
We did a Thanksgiving Lapbook in November and a Pearl Harbor study this month. For the most part we will be breaking for Christmas Break now through around Jan. 5 or so.
Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…
Pull the meat from many resources and get rid of the bones. See above where I am using 3 different Phonics programs? We are not using all of any of them.
I am inspired by…
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
We recently visited a Christmas Tree Farm. Friends from church own this farm, so we were able to get a bit of an educational tour of how they flock wreathes and Trees.
My favorite thing has been…
Getting our cows. Right before Thanksgiving we were able to buy a herd. Expect to see lots of pictures when they start calving.
What’s working/not working for us…
Christian Liberty Preschool, I am loving this, and my little 4 year old Isaiah, begs to do his school.
Questions/thoughts I have…
Anyone have a schedule for using TruthQuest with Mystery of History?
Things I’m working on…
That’s a secret, but those with special needs children who do better on the computer are going to be pleased.
I’m reading…
Ransomed Dreams and The Bible Wisdom from Proverbs Devotions for homeschool moms.
I’m cooking…
Lots of Christmas goodies as part of our school.
I’m grateful for…
We will soon have home raised grass fed beef from our own herd.
I’m praying for…
Bryn a four year old with a Brain Stem Glioma. She is a local girl whose parents have attended our church. I also worked with her mom before I had children. We know her grandma quite well. Please keep her in your prayers.

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
Thanks a lot for sharing the cute photo of your kids..Cant wait to see what your working on..
