Prayer
The Five Finger Prayer 1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C.S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty". 2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray...
HOW Bible Lessons with Little Ones
Families who have an older child using a HoW approach seem to find it easier to know what to do with the younger siblings. A few people seem to need further help with instituting a HoW approach with a young family. I wonder if this confusion arises because people are...

Catching up…
Whew, what a weekend! It all started on Friday when we had to go across town to take 'Miss A' to a softball tournament. That in itself is not hard. Crossing the Gateway Bridge is not my favourite thing to do. Not necessarily because the bridge is high (it looks worse...

Diary Day Monday
I awoke at 6am and jumped in the shower while John watched the morning news in bed. He actually pretends to watch the news but I think he really snoozes! He showers and gets ready for work as I head to the kitchen to make grilled muffins with eggs for breakfast. 'Miss...

Do We Do Bible Study Every Day?
Do we do Bible Study every day? I think we have tried every approach that is bantered about in homeschooling and family circles. We have tried starting our day with Bible study. We have tried doing Bible study after lunch when the main academics are finished. We have...

Writing Lessons with the Boys
Charlotte Mason's methods and other natural learning methods were wonderful with my girls for teaching them English skills. They both write quite well. Narration has formed the cornerstone or basis of their English lessons. However, the boys have an aversion to...
The Passion of the Christ
My husband and I both watched the movie, The Passion of the Christ. I spent a few days in prayer and study in order to prepare for the movie. I'm glad I did. During the week after the movie, God revealed something to me during that time that has convicted me so...
Super Simple Spritual Sunday
SSSS Blog Meme Here are a few blogs that I was really touched by or ministered to by this week. They're in no particular order. Margaret's blog is one of those places where I will usually get a laugh (I don't count on it, but it usually happens). However, after the...
Teenage Rebellion in the Homeschooling Family
Sadly, I think there is a lot of myth and fear surrounding the teen years, especially amongst home schoolers. There comes a time in everyone’s life where they start to examine and question the big issues of life: why are we here? Who put us here? What happens when we die? Our answer or thoughts to these questions make us do the things we do. This isn’t always direct rebellion, it is a natural part of a healthy life.
