Hello,
I recently have been doing things for myself, to help me to be a better mom to my kids. I joined www.homeschoolblogger.com/thedietblog to help me get some self-control over my body. Now, i've begun going to a 10 week Beth Moore bible study called "Living Beyond Yourself." It is a video and workbook series. We meet at a home and watch the DVD and talk about. it. We go home and there is "homework." Tonight was the first night and it seemed very good. Has anyone else ever done a study like this? She has some very thought provoking ways of delivering things. I haven't done anything for me in so long, it's strange. The kids aren't neglected, they are at a soccer clinic this week and a wrestling clinic next week. I'm just trying to remember to do things for myself too!
I hope to start the kids blogging soon (once they get bored with the pool, neighborhood kids, etc.)
Blessings,
Kris
Tagging.
It seems fun so, here it goes.

Hello!
Summer is fast approaching. I hope to do a lot of Nature Journaling/Lapbooking with the kids soon. We are wrapping up our official "school" and moving into more of an unschooling mode with a lot of family reading, some math and memory verse study.
www.wowio.com offers free e-books, I downloaded Tools of Navigation... , Tools of Time... , Velveteen Rabbit , Great Pioneer Projects and Great WWII Projects. The down side is that it does require some personal information and a confirmation email code to get started. The books are great and really free.
http://www.home.avvanta.com/~math/ is a great new math site a friend gave me. It defines all math terms and has many free math worksheets. If you want more math http://www.homefires.com/clickschool/math.asp has many more math links.
Go do something fun with your kids today! This my personal goal.
Blessings to all,
Kris
