My blogging fizzled out last year, so I'm not going to make promises for this year. It is my desire to blog fairly consistantly, but we shall see...
Health-wise it's been a very, very hard summer. I am almost totally housebound at this season. It is seeming that God is opening doors for me to begin working with a new research facility called the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease . We are hopeful that this is the Lord's provision for rebuilding my stamina and easing my daily pain.
As we start our fifth officialy year of homeschooling, we are just about to finish our second week of My Father's World Exploring Countires and Cultures Big J. (Dear Son, Age 7 1/2)'s 3rd grade year! R. (Dear Daughter, Age 4 1/2) is THRILLED to be doing "real school" as she jumps into MFW K! Little J (Dear Son, 18 months) continues to keep us all on our toes. :D
Here are an assortment of links I want to post. Hopefully you will enjoy or find some of them useful, but if nothing else, I will have them posted somewhere when I need to refer back to them myself!
First, I am very moved by the journey of one of our fellow homeschoolblogger families at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ourquiverfull/351155/ - please join me in prayer for baby Noah and God's emotional and physcial promisions for this entire family. Beyond prayer, here is a very rewarding way that you can help! http://www.chirotoons.com/benefit/
Next, our cuddos to Math U See! We have been having fun with their blog (see my sidebar links) and wrote to tell them about it. They sent our kids their adorable "Choco-8" and "Can You Tell Me How To Get To Decimal Street?" tee-shirts as a gift. The kids are so excited and absolutely love the shirts. What a great company! :D
As a recap of my first post last year, here are the yahoo groups we regularly use, however we are saying goodbye to our Adventures group to join two related to ECC instead:
Homeschooling Moms With Chronic Illnesses
Home School Legal Defense Association
I have become a daily participate in the facinating Chritian online community, ShoutLife. Please feel free to visit me there at http://www.shoutlife.com/InfertilityMom
God is blessing both my writing and my online mineral makeup business. In the writing world I am thrilled to finally have found a local Christian writing critique group after years of discouragement that there seemed to be no such resource. I am writing a regular column on beauty (both inward and outward) for TeenAge magazine, and for a slightly younger group of girls (8-12) am keeping up with my Inner Beauty Blog.
For others in homebased businesses, you may be interested in this free home business management software I found. You will need to read through a big sale's push page to get to the link to accept the free offer, but there really is no obligation to buy anything either now or later. I actually did purchase the upgrade package because it was filled with helpful resources at a great discount. No matter what your interest level in the upgrades, the free basic software is great!
Hmmm... I know there were more links I wanted to pin here, but now that I'm typing, I'm drawing a total blank!
Hopefully this school year will allow me to rekindle relationships with old friends here and establish new friendships as well. Looking forward to this journey together with you and with all of our amazing kids!
