I'm a homeschool mom of 3 daughters. My aim in life is to glorify God by loving and serving my family, grow personally in my walk with Him, and being a Titus 2 woman to those younger than me. This blog is to share what God is doing in my life and in the life of our homeschool.
Princess is 9 years old . She was born a princess and continues to hold the title. She loves all things girlie and is talented in all things crafty.
Pixie is 7 and a half. She has a passion for truth, loves rocks and shells and has a huge collection of them.
Peanut is 5. She is fun loving, happy all the time and can make anybody laugh.
Tonight instead of doing my thankful series I am going to talk about my
time tonight with my daughter, Princess. Two friends asked if I could
teach them and their daughters how to wire twist and make earings. So,
I took Princess and we had a mom daughter night with wire, beads and
various pliers. We had a wonderful time and I am amazed at how fast
those young girls learn how to do things. Why is it that moms take
longer to wrap their minds around how to do something new. I remember
the first time I learned how to wire twist. I declared that I would
never be able to learn it. My daughter was the youngest of the girls
but seeing her with them made me realize how much she has grown. Her
interests are changing and she just seems so much like a big girl and
not like a little kid. It gave me a glimps of what it will be like in
a few more years. She is very helpful and capable of doing so much
already. She told me that she feels good when she can help out and be
useful. Isn't that how we all are? We all need to be useful and
productive. I was amazed that she has already figured this out. Yep,
my little girl is growing up.
You'll have to cybertrain me fast! I decided last week that my 8 1/2 yo daughter's Christmas present was going to be stuff for making her own earrings and jewelry. She is constantly crafting things and I can see she *needs* to do more! She is already making earrings with whatever she can find around the house and can't get enough. Could you tell me what to get her as a starter gift? There is a Michael's nearby. Or (and I wouldn't know, being uncrafty and hardly entering these stores) would they have stuff there easy to figure out what to buy?
Sorry to ramble!
