One Of My Life Lessons

Notice how I titled this post, ‘One’ of my life lessons, because I have had many.  This particular lesson revolves around asking for help. Do you ask for help? Or perhaps you were taught only to ask for help in emergency situations? If you are like me, I don’t mind helping others and will do everything in my power to help, but asking... [Read more of this review]

Why Families Matter

The deep calling that I feel which is leading me closer and closer to family ministries is easily understood with this passage I came across: In the 1950’s, kids lost their innocence. They were liberated from their parents by well-paying jobs, cars and lyrics in music that gave rise to a new term – the generation gap. In the 1960’s,... [Read more of this review]

The Power of Family Nights

Not sure if you are aware of the focus my life has taken but it is one that has been in the making for quite some time.  It is one that although was in the works I was not aware of, but am finally aware of now. Being a mom of 5 children, family is very, very important to me.  There was a time that I thought I would never get married much less have... [Read more of this review]

National Day of Prayer

Today, May 7, 2009 is the National Day of Prayer.  The day that we as a nation pray together.  Considering our nation was founded on Christian principles it makes sense for us as a nation to observe this day with prayer. But, why wait for one day a year to pray?  This is something that I do on a daily basis and have taught my children to do the same. Read More →

Do You Have A Visual Learner?

My last post was about kinesthetic learners and today we will focus on Visual learners. This topic is not difficult for me because I can classify myself as a visual learner. A visual learner is one that needs to see pictures to connect what they are learning. Do you have a child that jumps on your lap while you are reading a story? This child is looking... [Read more of this review]

Do You Have A Kinesthetic Learner?

There are three different types of learners; auditory, visual and kinesthetic. Today I will be focusing on kinesthetic learners. Kinesthetic learners are often misunderstood but hopefully I will shed some light to make the teaching of these learners a bit easier. Unlike the visual learner that needs to see pictures and takes notes and the auditory learner... [Read more of this review]

Since I have a 5 year old that I  officially began home schooling, thought I’d share some fun tips. I have been teaching him all along but he thinks he’s a ‘Big Boy’ now since he now has  his... [Read more of this review]

Make Nature Your Classroom

Many times parents feel that they should have a room in there home designated as a classroom and all will be well. Although that may be the case it is not entirely necessary. I for one have a ‘classroom’ but it basically houses all our books, games, and homeschooling materials. My children manage to follow me around the house and never sit... [Read more of this review]

A Library Without Breaking the Bank

Having an abundance of books is just a part of having a healthy and happy home school environment. My mantra on books is ‘you can never have too many books’. I have collected books for many, many years. With 5 children it is very easy to do. But having a variety of books does not have to cost a fortune. Sure, it’s great to go to the... [Read more of this review]

Habla Espanol?

Teaching a foreign language seems to be tricky for some but it is so important to try to incorporate into your home school curriculum. We are at an advantage because I am fluent in the Spanish language and will actually be teaching my children conversational Spanish this year. For those that aren’t as lucky, there are several resources that offer... [Read more of this review]
