As we tighten our belt to make monthly financial responsibilities, we felt in our hearts to do something different for Christmas this year.

This year for Christmas, instead of spending a ton of money on the 9 cousins my family would have to purchase for, we've decided to make gifts.

One of these gifts, could potentially last a lifetime. The other, fun little things that might make their room brighten up while they are still small.

Both projects will require a lot of time. Both projects, will require a lot of artwork. So, for the next, well, until we finish the projects,  our main goal for school is to finish the gifts. There will be math for measuring, science in the experiments, and art all around. We'll continue to write, but they will keep a journal of their progress on their gifts. We'll continue to read, and it will probably be related to American history and how each holiday began in the United States as well as around the world. There will be Bible...everyday. We will talk about giving, responsibility, love, missions, and the advent, all related to how we should perceive these days we call the holiday season.

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to home school my children. I'm so blessed to be able to say I teach my kids. I love my job!
