From The Publisher:

Dear TEACH Friends,
 
Last Monday around 11 p.m. my sister called and said they were on the way to the hospital with my niece McKenna who had been severely bitten in the face by a dog.  She called again an hour later and said the hospital was not able to treat her and they were on their way to a larger hospital 45 minutes away.  Another hour went by and my sister called to say they were being transported by ambulance to another hospital 3 hours away.  Right now I'm at the hospital with my sister and her family and my niece has just gotten out of surgery.  We would treasure your prayers for my niece McKenna for complete healing and for wisdom for her Drs. and therapists.

Tuesday morning we had a scheduled teleseminar, something we haven't done in over a year.  In spite of my anxiousness to be with my sister and her family we persevered and were blessed to have all 100 lines full. We were able to record the session "The Early Bird Gets The Worm".  The CD of this wonderful session will be available to purchase in the next week and a half.

Tuesday's session had a baker's dozen worth of tips and ideas that have helped me through the years to get my days off to a good start.  Something I learned years ago, is that it is much easier to have a successful day at home with just a little planning on mom's part.

Happily Serving Him,

Lorrie
 
P.S. Very soon we'll be announcing a much anticipated spectacular sale.

As a homeschooling mom I have had a passion to bring history to life for my children so they could see it as I do, a wonderful story about real people, making everyday choices from the circumstances they lived in, and how their choices affect us today and what we can learn from them and their actions.

How can you bring history to life even if you have never been bitten by the history bug? Here are 7 fantastic ways:

No Kitchen Maid?  Here's Some Kitchen Aid

Bulk Ground Beef Cooking

I found a time saving way to cook large amounts of hamburger that works wonderfully. I put a 5 pound chunk into my crock pot and set it on high. Just give it a stir every 30 to 60 minutes to ensure it breaks up nicely and stays moist.  After about 3 hours drain it in a colander and package in one pound freezer bags. To thaw I put the frozen chunk into a colander again and pour hot water over it. I get moist, low fat hamburger that is thawed and ready to go in no time.

Date Your Mate

Think outside the box of roses and dinners out. With a little creativity and a playful attitude even simple dandelions can become a romantic bouquet.

Giving him a gift.  It doesn't have to be a big deal. It just takes a little time and a wee bit of thought to woo your spouse.

Little gifts, whether purchased or made, are like spring in the air after a long, cold winter. When was the last time you gave one?
