"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:3-5 (NASB)

It's been snowing again all day today. But this time it's ONLY snow - NO ice. That's the way I like it.
We're still not back on target with working on our routine since the power outages. Since the electricity came back on and we returned home, it's taken us some time to get back on track and we're just not there yet. However, little Sugarplum has adjusted back to - I hesitate to even speak the words - some routine. She's taking naps more consistently at 10:00am and 2:00pm. This is wonderful. She sleeps about 1 1/2 hours at each nap so that's not too bad. Especially considering that she usually lays back down after she wakes early in the morning and sleeps about 2 hours or so. So I think we're on the right track and it feels good to see some routine develop with her naps.
I concocted a pretty yummy lunch. However, when I tell you, you may be inclined to think it doesn't sound very good. Don't dismiss it too quickly because it truly was delicious! I made a spinach salad by putting fresh spinach in our bowls. Added grape tomatoes, carrots, and hard-boiled egg. I added some salt, garlic pepper, and fresh ground black peppercorn. Then on the top I put some of the leftovers I warmed up from our breakfast dinner my hubby made the other night: potatoes, steak, squash, zucchini, onion, and seasonings. I served this up with some homemade whole grain bread. It was delicious!
The last couple of days I've been working on next year's order for homeschool material. This is the time I do it every year. I am making some great progress. I already have language arts, health, math, science, Latin, and literature planned. I still have fine arts and history left to decide on. I will probably do geography as well.
The ultimate goal of Christian home education is to train children to impact the world for God. We want our children to not only hear and learn God's Word, but also be doers of God's Word. Therefore, we strive to teach them:
SERVICE - How to serve God and others
ACHIEVEMENT - To do the best they can in all they do from academic subjects to chores to serving others and more
LOVE - To love God and one another
TRUTH - To live their lives based on the absolute Truth of God
The name of this blog is the acronym for these four areas that we strive to teach our children:
S.A.L.T. - Service, Achievement, Love, Truth
