I'm Drawing A Blank...

So lately my blog has suffered from lack of use. I just can't think of what to write.

I still have my list of ideas, but I have to find it, because, like everything else I touch, I lost it.

So this is a pretty boring entry. I had a birthday, on the 7th, so I am now officially old. Well not officially, but still. I am about 4-6 years older than I thought I would be at this point in my life (childless, living with a room mate in an apartment).

I get to baby-sit at my house now, which is awesome.

At the end of the month I am going to visit my family out of state. (Sorry trick-or-treaters, we won't be here to hand out candy) Which is fun, but sad. Fun for obvious reasons, sad because my husband works retail so he isn't allowed to have time off at the holidays. :( Hopefully they will head over here.

I tried making bread in my bread machine. It turned out pretty good. Fruit flies seem to surround it when I leave it out, which is creepy, but seemingly meaningless since no one has gotten sick and its tastes fine. I also tried my slow-cooker, and the food was pretty delicious if I do say so myself.

On Saturday I am going to the pumpkin patch. I'm borrowing (baby-sitting) my friends daughter to go along with me and my friend so we don't look quite as weird at the pumpkin patch.

Wow. This was a super exciting entry. That was an attempt at sarcasm, which never works in writing, except in dialogue, so we'll try again "Wow. This was a super exciting entry." she said sarcastically.

Sorry.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation. There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically. I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year. They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time. So they never really knew what to do with themselves. I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me. I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy. I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children. This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children. Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
