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~

Chicka Chicka ABC project
DS (2.5 yo) loves the Chicka Chicka ABC book. LOVES IT!!!!! Asks for it. Begs for it. With book in hand, he will overtake your lap if you sit down and look too comfy. And it's not over once the final page is read, oh no! It must be started all over again from the beginning!
So I got out the little ABC fridge magnets, copied the coconut tree from http://www.sabine.k12.la.us/zes/chickachicka/default.htm and away we went to play with it.
He can play while big sister does school (although she thinks it's fun to play it with him) and during our time together, we go through it and go over the letters and their sounds.
Just a quick and fun idea for your little ones too!

"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
