Apr. 7, 2008 - (Just Another) Mondays On Mothering post
Hi! Today we are having a few squabbles as my crew settles back in to school after a Spring Break with Neena (my Mom). Every child wants to go and do their own thing. Therefore, I am choosing to be very encouraged by the picture I took just last night. My two older children were reading the same book at the same time. They were SHARING!!!! Victory. Those precious moments remind us why we do the job we do. Moments of victory will come. As a Mom, I love seeing my children working together on a project, reading a book together, playing at a cooperative drama together, building lego castles together. Those are the Mothering moments I love and long for. Have you had any special moments like these this week? I read a great article at Training Hearts which I found speaks to this very idea, focusing on the good and not the little frustrations. Go read it for extra encouragement today! I hope you will share something you love about Mothering in your very own Mondays On Mothering post. You can read all about Mondays On Mothering here.

I am sorry about the confusion.
No, the woman, Erin, that does not sew is the wife of my brother in law, Shannon ( my husband's brother) If I really went in to details you would be more confused. So Erin my brother in law's wife , belongs to George who is her step-father . So no relation to me or to kezzi. I sure hope that clears it up a bit. The good news is I sewed his greens he gave her two lessons! Very cool.
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
