My Mom’s spiritual gift is Exhorter. I think she does a great job with rewarding us, and encouraging us to do what we are supposed to be doing (I didn’t say we do a good job of doing it, though) .
Every time my Mom introduces a new idea for chores all of us think we are going to die and it is the worst day of our life. (I am not exaggerating)
After a few weeks … okay mont
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
Someone asked me what videos we watch and where we fast-forward and mute. So here are the ones we watch as a family, and on date night the younger ones often watch Barney and the Japanese equivalent — “Shimajiro”.
Mary Poppins — no fast forwards for us except for a little scary part.
Milo and Otis – no fast forwards unless little ones are easily scared.
Chariots of Fire — fast
I (Hannah) started an online program through Oak Brook College this fall. I am studying to become a certified paralegal, which is like a lawyer’s top assistant. I am not sure if I will ever use the degree since the main thing I want to do with my life is to homeschool and train my children. If I do ever use this degree, I can work from home! Right now, I am really enjoying what I am learning.
This would
So ….. I am really writing on this subject??! Our kids have been struggling with this lately, so it is kind of comical for me to appear like the expert on this subject!
A couple of ideas that HAVE been working this week because we have really been cracking down on bickering:
If anyone has an unkind voice toward a sibling, I have been asking them to bring be a bar of soap and stick their tongue out. One swi

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
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.
