Apr. 2, 2008 • Home Education Week: Recipe for Success

Posted in Home Education


Today is day four of Home Education Week! Dana at Principled Discovery has set up a week of writing prompts and activities for anyone who wants to participate. The writing topic for today is "Recipe for Success." I'm not the most creative person with topics like this, but I'll give it a try!

Recipe for Success: Wednesday, April 2
It is also National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! So share a recipe…figuratively, as in two parts love, one part creativity, or literally, as in a super quick, nutritious meal your kids scarf up. Think about what you do in the day, what helps keep it organized and you sane (or how you got past that need for organization and saneness!), and curriculum materials you find effective.

Recipe for Homeschooling Success

Ingredients:

love
humility
patience
perseverance
academics
organization
flexibility

Mix together infinite amounts of love, humility, patience and perseverance. Add academics and organization to taste. Pray constantly while mixture thickens. Season with flexibility as needed.

I love your recipe. It reminds me of the fruit of the Spirit--love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. My older son memorized those verses this week.

Thanks for the visit. I like your post and what Kristen said about putting it on her fridge, might just do that myself! Will put a link to my post.
God bless,

A very clever recipe. I need to add in more patience and work more on the praying constantly part.
