Nori Chips with Gomashi
Yummy Zucchini Dishes
We had an abundance of fresh zucchini at our place and I needed to find a way to use them before it was too late. So, I ran them through the food processor and was left with about 3 kgs of grated zucchini. I made a Zucchini Slice with salad and it was delicious. I...
Does Studying Hebrew Roots Take Away From Jesus?
G'day, A question that I previously asked, and one that arises fairly often on the Heart of Wisdom e-group is about the focus on Hebrew Roots or Heritage. Some people mistakenly believe that this focus takes away from Jesus Christ. Robin, the author of the HOWTA and...

Out and About..
We didn't make it to church yesterday. DH still needs a bit of help in the morning after his recent shoulder reconstruction...and with another teen in the house (daughter's friend) we just didn't make it out the door by 8.45am. So, we decided to go out for a few...

Here we are midway through the year and it's time to look back, to assess and take stock of how things are going. In January of this year, I decided to have a Sabbath period.? I called it a Sabbath year but later changed it to a 'Sabbath Season'...I was content to...
How to Schedule with Heart of Wisdom
Following my review of the Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach, a reader, Jamie asked me the following question, and so I will write my response here as she doesn't seem to be a HSB member and might not find her way back to read my comment. Question: I'm so glad I found...
The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach
Those who are interested in a Bible based, Delight-Directed, Note-Booking, or Charlotte Mason approaches may like these products as the author has taken the best from each approach and blended them to make the Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach.
I have used some of the Heart of Wisdom units for a few years now but I have been most influenced by Robin’s book, The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach. I have learnt that the Bible outlines how we can teach our children and that study is a form of worship. The goal of this approach is to train children to read, to study, to understand, to love to learn and, most importantly, to desire and seek true wisdom. A benefit to this approach is that it is multi-level teaching and can be used by a mother with children of all ages.
Stop the world, I wanna get off…
Just when I thought life was going to settle down into a nice, steady routine - WHAMMO!!!!!! No way, it isn't. John is scheduled for surgery on Monday. The bone in his shoulder has to be scraped and chiseled in order for the repaired tendon to fit into place. Then,...
40 Days of Focussing On Health
Where is my head? Well it isn't in blogging, that's for sure! I can't write about lessons as we're still in a time of rest, a Sabbath rest. This means that I am not striving toward lessons or the planning of them. This is great but I don't have any great plans to...
Working out, Intensity, high points…a way of life.
Bill Phillips talks about how we should strive to hit a 'high point' in our workouts. That it is the intensity in which we train, not the duration. He mentions how some fitness people suggest upping your workout routines from 30min to 40 and then to 50 min and so on,...
Working out…in our homeschool.
We're learning more about the Human Body through my latest interest than we ever could through a book! I'm starting this venture (40 Days of Focus) with my 15yodc...this child is a great help to me. However, the other children were feeling a little out of 'it'. So,...
Responsibility With Our Words
For many years, I didn't have an opinion. I was raised to listen and learn and be careful when I did speak and I often felt that I wasn't being listened to. Yeah well, sometimes life is like that eh? But then came the Internet, email groups, forums, the power of...
Not a National Identity card…it's a Smart Card!
I try not to be an alarmist or to be freaked out by progressive technology...but, I don't like the sound of Australia's new 'progressive' move toward the SmartCard. Apparently, the access card will replace 17 health and social services cards and vouchers across the...
Thoughts on Moving
Well, we're moving! It will all be happening soon. I think most people know how excited we are...but I'm also getting nervous. We've just had 18 months of solitude, where we didn't get out and about very much or meet many people. That season was good for a time but...
Waiting on God…
I'm slowly reading and studying through the Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach by Robin Sampson. Now, I really liked this book the first two times I read it...but I'm still learning and gleaning from it. In chapter 3, Robin is talking about focusing on God and not on...
Using Bible Stories Year After Year
This time of year is always fairly spiritual for me as I meditate and ponder fully the work of the cross, the work of God to redeem His people. Yesterday I was reminded by my 15yo daughter that this is also an opportunity to learn more about the Lord...and opportunity...
