You can get discounts if you do a search for ACE rather than purchasing it directly from School of Tomorrow, because you can order it from a warehouse, not from the publisher. I have done that before and gotten old versions of the curriculum. The new versions are better, though, so I might not do that again. BUT it might not matter for first grade. It was the older grades that I didn’t like the former
Have you ever been nursing your baby but went crazy because the blanket covering you kept falling down? That can drive a mom nuts, don’t you think?!
Nursing ponchos have become such a huge blessing to me and many of my friends.
Easy Way to Make them: Hem 1 1/4 yard of fabric. Cotton is best, especially in hot weather. Cut a hole in the center for your head, and hem the hole or put binding tape around it
Q: How do you drink enough water, especially when you are pregnant or nursing?
A: Well, I’m not sure that I do drink enough water, but one thing I do is to try to keep water available when I’m on the run. Which is always.
My bathroom:
I have a water bottle in my bathroom that I keep refilling and another water container with it that I’m constantly filling up. Both have lids because that ma
Q:
Kathy, I have a meal question for you…do you have issues with any of your children not liking what you cook for dinner? If so, how do you handle it? Do you try and remember and make meals everyone likes? Or they just have to eat if they’re hungry, and if not they go hungry? or what do you do?
A: I was thinking recently that probably one reason I don’t cook much anymore is that I get so tir
I have been so discouraged with ALL my kiddos with potty training! So hang in there. You CAN do this. Here are some more tips that have helped me:One of my girls was a little easier because she hated it to run down her leg. I kept her in dresses with nothing underneath, and she would scream if she started to have an accident, haha!
This most recent time another thing that has helped is trying to keep every ex
Since I wear skirts/dresses a lot, many friends ask me what I do in the winter to stay warm in them. It is true that dresses can be really cold! What can you do?
We’re not saying that every lady has to wear dresses all the time but that they should do what the Lord is leading their family to do. If you do choose to wear them, hopefully here are some tips that will help.

ACE – We mostly use these cute booklets for Math, but we use them for other subjects, too. Especially if you have many children, do not make homeschooling too hard on yourself! This is an example of a great curriculum that makes your life much easier.I wouldn’t recommend a Christian school that uses this curriculum because you have to sit in cubicles all day and do nothing creative! But they a

We have never stayed on schedule all day, haha! But the schedule does help, and I am so thankful for the scheduling kit I got from titus2.org. It is called Managers of Their Homes. I have the others about chores and school, and they’re great, too. Some moms look at it and feel like it is not good for them since they are a small family. But I disagree! I was a mess when I only had one kid, and the sc
Chapter 11 — “He Lived What He Taught Us”
“My Father did not push us to prayer, he led us–first by the consistent example of being a pray-er himself, then by asking the blessing (a phrase he thought more accurate than ‘saying grace’) at meals, and by gathering all of us together after breakfast for family prayers, as described in Mother’s article. I do not say that we
