Check Out Our NEW Nature Blog, "FOR THE BEAUTY"
Come on in & make yourself at home as you catch up with the happenings of our little family. I'm Karla, the "scribe" for our family, and am better known as "Momma" to our two blessings, "Honey" to my hubby, and "the maid who provides for our every need" to our 2 kittens. I hope you will call me "friend."
We are a homeschooling family that has our mix of funnies and failures, along with triumphs & successes. I am a recovering perfectionist, who is ever so grateful that I serve a perfect Savior. He teaches me that I have a lot to learn, but also that He has brought me a long way.
I have been the bride to the most gracious, sweetest man in the world for the last 11 years. What I love most about him is that he is always striving to be a better husband, father, and child of God.
I am also the blessed mama to
OUR TWO GIFTS:
a creative 9-yo Darling Daughter who loves pink, being a little lady, having tea, reading, being creative, and riding horses
and a 5-yo tremendously adventurous Little Man-in-training who loves helicopters, bugs, dirt, running, and the sport of eating.
(If you are wondering about the curlers, go down to the Sweet Monday section of the sidebar. It's a women's ministry that was started in Richmond, Va, and when we moved from there, I decided to start one down here. While Im not doing it this year, please feel free to glean away from my entries of all the past programs & devotions.
Please let me know any of them have blessed you, and if you would like permission to use anything I've written. Thank you!)

"The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties." ~Noah Webster~

The Learning Calendar's Daily Podcasts!
The Learning Calendar is a daily podcast brought to you by the Homeschool Learning Network! You and your children will learn about holidays, famous birthdays and anniversaries, and teachable moments in history! Tune in Monday-Friday to hear a new podcast!
I just discovered this wonderful resource and wanted to pass it on. Our family loves listening to things as we go about our day, drive in the car, etc and this one is just a great learning tool! I'm all for "sneaking in" learning when the kids are thinking they are just being entertained! After all, learning should be fun!
(From a mom who does have a daughter who complains lately that she "hates" math and doing seatwork. *sigh* Training her that in life, you do need to do "focused" work, and then move on to the more enjoyable things!)

| I'll have to check out those podcasts! I also enjoy Cindy Rushton's podcasts very much. I recently have been somewhat checking out the Robinson Curriculum and I enjoy reading your blog to see how you mesh it with Charlotte Mason methods. I was sort of comparing Robinson with A2...I don't know if I'm up to printing out so many books and all...Anyway, I've been enjoying your website...~Vicki |

"Watch for the storms of God.
The only way God plants His saints is through the whirlwind of His storms.
Will you be proven to be an empty pod with no seed inside?
That will depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light of the vision you have seen.
Let God send you out through His storm, and dont go until He does.
If you select your own spot to be planted, you will prove yourself to be an unproductive, empty pod.
However, if you allow God to plant you, you will "bear much fruit" (John 15:8)." ------------ My Utmost for His Highest, March 11th
