Twelve Days Of Christmas

The Twelve Days of Christmas traditionally begin on December 25th and end on January 5th, which is called Twelfth Night.  The day after Twelfth Night (January 6th) is the Feast of the Epiphany, which is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ.  It is, in Western Christianity remembrance of the arrival of the Magi (Three Kings/Wisemen).  Also, you don't have to take your Christmas decorations down until after Epiphany which is great news to people like me who love Christmas.  

I have decided to do a Twelve Days of Christmas celebration on my blog.  It will start on Christmas Day and end on Twelfth Night.  During this celebration I will have some giveaways for readers and some guest posts about adoption stories.  I feel that adoption stories are perfect for the Christmas season because Jesus was adopted and cared for by Joseph.  If you click on Joseph's name you will be linked to explanation about Joseph's role in Jesus's earthly life.

I will announce the winners of the giveaways on Epiphany (baring extenuating circumstances of course), which is a fitting day to receive gifts.

 
I am looking forward to sharing these stories and gifts with you, and I hope you will join me in my celebration of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

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

Things That Annoy Infertile Girls (or Maybe Just Me?) - Flashback Friday

This was actually one of my more popular posts when it was first published, but I still thought I would share it again.  Any additions to the post are in pink, as usual :) Accidental Pregnancies - So I have been trying for years to get pregnant, you go slut around and accidentally get pregnant? Immediate Pregnancies - You quit taking your birth control last month and now you are pregnant?

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."
