Generations Homeschool Curriculum Review
If you are like my homeschool family, we enjoy trying new curriculum as we decide what works for each child. Two years ago, we discovered the Generations homeschool curriculum while attending our state homeschool conference. As our kids are leaving their toddler years rapidly, we have been experimenting with what works for each child’s different learning preferences. One curriculum that has stood out to us and modeled the values of our family is the Generations homeschool curriculum. Use What Works Quick side note to say that I am an affiliate to Generations homeschool curriculum right now but I would be willing to recommend these resources even if I was…

Christian Parenting: 21 Ways You Can Disciple the Heart Of Your Child Towards The Lord
What side of the sink do you wash your dishes in? (Hang with me! I promise washing dishes has something to do with how you can disciple the heart of your child.) I wash on the left hand side. Always. Rinsing happens on the right hand side. Always. You see, my mom and dad washed dishes on the left-hand side and rinsed on the right-hand side my whole life. And their parents did likewise. In all honesty, I never thought about it. Until I married my husband ten years ago. The first night in our newly wed apartment, he gallantly offered to wash dishes for me. And he proceeded to…

At a local Old-Fashioned Christmas at the Museum last year, kids found hidden ornaments, listened to Mrs. Claus read and talk to Santa Claus. Never a nod was…

Christian Summer Time Activities To Help Your Kids Grow In Their Faith
Summertime is amazing. The sunshine. The change in your routine. Being outdoors for hours on end. Your kids being dead tired at the end of the day because they played so hard! 🙂 But there are some down sides to all this sunshine and change in routine. Namely the fact that it can be hard to keep up a regular time of teaching the Bible to your kids. During the school year and the colder months, it is natural to sit down with your kids and be intentional about training them to love the Lord. Then, BLAM, summer happens with its vacations, summer sports, yard work, and more.…

How To Stop Bad Attitudes From Spreading Throughout Your Family
Have you ever seen the effects that one bad attitude can have on your family? This past week, my husband caught a nasty head cold (in July-which is really annoying!) For several days, I cleaned every possible surface with disinfecting wipes. We washed our hands and kept dirty tissues safely disposed of away from the kids. Three times a day, my daughter was eating an orange with her meal. Unfortunately, the germs still made their way into my toddler’s mouth. And from there, it was just a matter of time until this Mommy started to feel a scratchy throat and experienced the sniffles. Yesterday, our two month old…
