"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)

Good morning to all. The sun is shining through my living room window right now and it cheers me up. It's been an interesting week already in respect to the weather. Who knew that you could have near 50 degree temperatures AND sleet! We sure did. Yep - the day before yesterday. Then yesterday it was warm enough that I didn't wear a coat. The wind was a little brisk at times though. Then this morning, I woke up to it snowing! Strange weather for sure.
This week has been the same story of our rollercoaster routine. My little Sugarplum got vaccinations last week and she has seemed to be more tired. So she has slept off and on a little more than usual. The last few nights she has stayed up later than normal - just didn't seem to want to go to sleep. She has typically gone to bed around 6:00pm - which is when she would be tired. Last night, it was about 9:30pm before she went to sleep! Big change. I have actually been wanting to get her to going to bed at least around 7:00pm (even 8:00pm) instead of 6:00pm. So actually her staying up later will hopefully help make that transition. It's just been hard to make any routine stick right now. My best friend encouraged me (she has 8 children - two of which are under 2) that routine will come. I guess routines are not as easy to come by during these infant months. I spent some time in prayer this morning just asking God how He thinks our day needs to go. I'm just going to keep this in prayer and seek God concerning routine, our schedule, and how our days should go. All families are different and God knows exactly what will work best for our family.
I love this stage Sugarplum is in. She just babbles on and on and on. She tries to say her name and does a pretty good job. She says bye-bye and mama and dada, talks on her baby phone, talks to her baby, it's just so cute.
The sun has creeped behind some clouds now and I see overcast skies. I know today is going to be a wonderful day - routine or no routine. It has to be because this is the day that God has made. May we all rejoice and be glad in it!
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
