I am stopping to pray that He make your way straight and allow you to be a blessing to the others He will be placing on your path today (and then tomorrow and the next day...)<BR/><BR/>Kimmie<BR/>mama to 6<BR/>one homemade and 5 adopted<BR/><BR/>ps- for library books...we have a LARGE basket to hold our books- then another basket for the "finished books/to be returned". These are the only two places for books-I also put the library print out in my hoosier drawer- so I can be aware of the DUE date...which I also write on our calender. If your library does the card in the book...take one out and post it on your fridge or attach to your library card, as a reminder.Kimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462108880167593207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-68994909855139902007-04-29T09:34:00.000-05:002007-04-29T09:34:00.000-05:00For a truly Christ-centered approach to scheduling...For a truly Christ-centered approach to scheduling, go to www.titus2.com and look at "Managers of Their Homes" and "Managers of Their Chores". These books have made a tremendous impact in how we run our home. If you decide to purchase MOTH, resist the urge to quickly skim the book and skip to the planning stage. This book challenges you to look at your own attitudes in the light of God's Word, and to pray and seek God's guidance throughout the entire process. I know it's been nearly a year since anyone has posted to this topic, but this is my first time stumbling upon it. I hope that this information will bless someone as I have been blessed by it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1154836771637080012006-08-05T22:59:00.000-05:002006-08-05T22:59:00.000-05:00maureenog - Awww, surely you aren't that old!

Then again, you are younger than me (it looks like from your picture) and I am just plain old tired.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you in homeschooling and creating a balance in everything in your life! I have found it is not easy but definitely an ongoing process! And one that I do enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1137542656838927802006-01-17T18:04:00.000-06:002006-01-17T18:04:00.000-06:00JenIG - Yes, I should be cooking dinner right now....JenIG - Yes, I should be cooking dinner right now....<BR/><BR/>Sue - You don't have to give up A Beka entirely. :) We used A Beka Math and Language our first few years. This year, we didn't buy any curriculum at all (thank the Lord for Konos being a one-time expense), but hopefully we will be buying Math U See and some other Language program next year. Konos is great, I will admit... you won't be sorry... especially if you love hands-on learning and field trips.Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1137538013180201492006-01-17T16:46:00.000-06:002006-01-17T16:46:00.000-06:00I love reading your homeschool blog!

All of your posts do encourage me in my daily walk also. I do have similar resolutions for 2006. One big one is to "declutter". I actually put together two large boxes last night for the Am Vets to pick up today (of course I waited until the last minute to sort out what I wanted to donate but that is another resolution!). Thanks for sharing and encouraging us all in our journey. sue in FlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1137250066424394332006-01-14T08:47:00.000-06:002006-01-14T08:47:00.000-06:00what a great list. i can relate with your 'bloggi...what a great list. i can relate with your 'blogging time'. we don't have a TV either so it is easy for me to justify spending so much time on the computer because 'I'm not wasting it on TV'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
