Sep. 29, 2008 - Mondays On Mothering -- Family Time
One of the things I really enjoy as a Mom is the time we spend together as a family. This generally happens on the weekends when my husband is home. This weekend, we ate at Pei Wei and it was fun to see people stare in amazement when our kids were eating Mongolian Kung Pau Chicken, Lettuce Wraps, and Japanese Teriyaki with gusto. Apparently, most children are a little more picky. We also had a family movie night on Saturday night and watched the animated version of The Sword in the Stone while we munched popcorn and peanuts and grapes. Those old animations are pretty funny! Times spent together in unity helps me recharge for the times when days are full of bickering. We are working on that one; but children do love to bicker don't they? For us, it seems like Mondays are always full of bickering. Why is that? It's a good day for me to write about the things I love about mothering! Remember the joy,
How have your children inspired you to be a better Mom? I hope you will join us encouraging each other with an M.O.M. post.

Whoops. I thought I linked yesterday!
I laughed about your kids eating the Japanese food while others stared in amazement. My kids love Sushi. This always amazes others!
The Sword in the Stone is cute, but our favorite old Disney movie is Robin Hood. The kids still enjoy watching that sometimes.
Hope you are feeling better!

As a TOS HS Crew member I am perusing blogs of my mates and stopped by for a looksee. I am inspired by your challenge to get into the joys of motherhood on a deeper level. It is such a blessing to be home with our kids that sometimes when we are taking them to activity seventeen or the like we some parents forget about that. Treasure each day :)

PS- Welcome aboard matey!
I didn't post this week but I just read yours and laughed because we just watched the Sword and the Stone as well for our special movie time this week. It is one of my husbands favorites but I had never seen it before. The kids really enjoyed it.
I hope you are feeling better and recovering from your surgery and able to enjoy your pregnancy.

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.
