Mind-Body-Soul Time This really has been one of the best things that I’ve done for myself and for the kids. I’m getting know them a lot better (which, I know, sounds nuts given that I homeschool them and see them every day), and I think they both feel more valuable to the family as a [...]

Mind-Body-Soul Time Still managing this quite well. Most days both kids get one on one time and they seem to be thriving with it. Clearly one of the better decisions I’ve made. Need to keep this going for them and for me. Get the Kids More Involved in the Household We have been dividing the [...]

Mind-Body-Soul Time We have managed this. There have been days where the ten minutes turned into thirty minutes, but otherwise, both kids are getting some one-on-one time with me where their interests dominate. Get the Kids More Involved in the Household We sat down and divided up the chores, but then we got swept up [...]

Mind-Body-Soul Time This is a concept described in Amy McCready’s Positive Parenting Solutions class (and her book, If I have to Tell You One More Time …). The idea is that you spend ten minutes of uninterrupted time with each child, each day, that is child directed. That means the child chooses the activities and [...]
Year in Review — 2011

1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? Went gluten-free. 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I did not make resolutions or set goals last year. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? There are a couple of new babies [...]

Read the Daily Office I’ve read it every day for the last 35 days. I think that makes it almost a habit. My intention had been to read it in the morning, but that doesn’t always happen. I try though. Slow Down I did this as well. P was shocked when there were two days [...]

Read the Daily Office This is going well. The app on my phone makes it easy. I added in a Worship playlist and it’s just a perfect combination to get my mornings going. I read the evening psalm sometime in the evening and it all works for me. Yay. Slow Down I have actually slowed [...]

Read the Daily Office Um, daily. Kind of like the name implies. I have this handy app on my phone now that gives me the office for the day, so I don’t have the excuse of having to look it all up anymore. So, for this month I want to try to read it, you [...]
The Homeschool Mother’s Journal 2011-2012 — Weeks 8-10

In my life the last three weeks… I’m not sure I can even verbalize the craziness of the last three weeks. The wheels are totally off. Short of a hurricane or pneumonia, I’m not sure how things could get more disorganized, more stressful, or more, well, chaotic. The only things on track right now are [...]
