This week I was able to pick up 2 quart containers of lemonade for $1.50 apiece with a coupon and sale combined. (Tropicana Grovestand Lemonade flavors at on sale at Harris Teeter grocery store, coupon in Sunday paper.) $1.50 is more then a package of dry lemonade, a cup of sugar and 2 quarts of water; but it also tastes better! We took several of the lemonade quarts and froze them in ice cube trays. When they were frozen, we moved the small cubes to ziploc baggies. Now, when we want an icy drink (like the icees at Target), we just put a bunch of lemonade ice cubes in the food processor, turn it on and watch it chop up the ice into tiny little pieces, add it to a glass and top it off with some of the un-frozen lemonade, and drink. Yummm! This method is way cheaper then buying those frozen drinks at Target, and if you wanted to mess with mixing your own, you could get it even cheaper. Enjoy your ice!

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.
