For Today May 12th

Outside my window...it is cloudy and the clouds are clustered around the tops of the mountains. I see my Handsome and big brother ( who is visiting from Seattle)  weeding and preping to plant Scarlet Runners. ( pole green beans)

I am thinking...about how my very first presentation went for fund raising for the Crisis Pregnancy Center went yesterday.  The computer system wasn't working and so that ment I couldn't use the DVD for the center.  Soooo I had to do all the talking.  What a way to break in a newbie volenteer. lol 


I am thankful for... A husband who supports me in homeschooling.  I am thankful that the Lord is leading in "how" to teach. 

From the kitchen...is the smoky smell of the oven cleaning itself. =0P


I am wearing... my old jean skirt and my lightweight pale yellow turtleneck sweater. 


I am creating....still knitting  my MIL's  socks and some beaded bookmarks.


I am going ... to be in the garden today.  I also need to get caught up on the laundy.

 


I am reading...Hints on Child Training by H. Clay Trumbull. 

I am hoping...to get some answers how to teach my fouth ds.  He does not want to do anything no matter what I have tried.  And now my MIL is trying to suggest me to put him in school and that is NOT a solution.  Please pray for me in this at this time.

I am hearing... the fan over the oven.  And my 3ds coughing.  He is not feeling well.


Around the house...is quiet.   Most everyone is outside.  It is cheerful with the Mother's Day flowers that were given yesterday. 


One of my favorite things...are tulips.  I am thankful I have a spot to grow my own and enjoy them.  I can't wait to go pick out some more to plant in the fall.

 A few plans for the rest of the week....is to start listening to my mp3's that I have gotten from Cindy Rushton's  "talk -a-latte" .  ( homeschool speakers)


Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Nice hair-do!
"Hints on Child Training" is a good book!
I have a reluctant learner too, does your son like games? I think that is the approach I have to take with mine.

Oh, the new hair do looks great. You are very pretty.
Sorry about the situation with your son, funny how the first thing people think is put them in school. I will be praying for you. :)

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
