An empty pantry?

No Laughing!
A cheerful heart is good medicine,but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22 While reading Leonie's post I had to laugh at my own family. We have such a weird sense of humour. Sometimes, only we understand ourselves! But you know, I think that's...

Curriculum Planning
Curriculum Planning: Why does the appearance of what we do always change? Because learning at home adventure is not static- because one size does not fit all, because each of my children are unique in their needs and interests, passions and gifts. Focus on your priority goals and be surprised at results. Every lesson that you learn along the way should be shared with your children. They will learn along with you and these life lessons are the most important. This allows for births, deaths, marriages and all those other real life circumstances that will interfere with your lovely homeschool plans! But, they are most important- for they are real. Know your goals. Know your limitations. Know that God is in control.
