It doesn't matter if it is the first year or your tenth. There are some tips that can make it easier. The main thing is that you have to look at what will work for you. </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Set Time to Plan</h3><div><br /></div><div>This is perhaps the biggest downfall. We think we can just fit in the time to plan around our regular life. To often life gets way too busy and we never set that time aside. Scrolling through pinterest or amazon is not really planning. I personally take four set times a year to plan. Once over the summer to get ready for the turning over of the new year, once in the fall after we started, again in January after we've had our holiday break and then again in spring. Why so many times. Each season brings different situations. </div><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Summer - I make sure we have all the curriculum we need. I set up a tentative schedule and organize my supplies. This is the biggest plan of the year and takes me about a week. I print what needs printing, file, sort. Sell off what we are not using. </h4><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Fall - I tend to evaluate what's working and what isn't. This is usually a month into our new year. This is typically just an hour of time. </h4><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">January - I look to see where we are in our books. Are we moving too slow or too fast. Do we need to add or remove something. It is about adjusting our year. I also tend to do a quick cleanout of our homeschool space. I tend to take a few days in January before we start back to the books to do this. </h4><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Spring - This is typically when most curriculum companies have their sales. It helps me to have a tentative plan on what I want to use so I can take advantage of the deals. Because I keep a running list of the things I'm on the look out for - this can last all spring but I do spend time paying attention to the sales.</h4><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br />Pen/paper or Digital</h3><div><br /></div><div>This is really a personal preference and one you should pick solely on which you'll likely use. I found that I like pen/paper planning. I have a little notebook I keep track of things in. This is what works best for me. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Supplies</h3><div><br /></div><div>Make sure you have all your supplies ready to go. Paper, printer ink, pens, post its - whatever your going to need. </div><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Map it Out</h4><div><br /></div><div>This is perhaps the most useful tip I can give you. I have a general plan for all of my kids from kindergarten through graduation. This way I know what I need to cover. It fluctuates. Maybe we spend a little more time on ancient history or we deep dive into geology, but I always come back around for 7th-12th to make sure I hit all the courses they will need to graduate. One thing that has helped me is to keep note of our state standards and what local colleges are expecting. This way my kids can have a competitive transcript.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Any tips you'd like to share for planning? </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br />

Truth is they are either mass produced or very pricey. So, being the crafty/creative gal I am I decided to just make my own. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I was very specific in what I was looking for. I wanted cute pictures that would engage my little kids to actually want to see what was on them. Holding their attention is probably the biggest obstacle. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted the affirmations to mean something. The idea is to help build our children up. The world bombards them with ads telling them they are not enough. There is even a commercial on YouTube that talks about this but my kid repeats the negative things instead of getting the message. (Not sure how helpful that campaign is.)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I really wanted something open ended. I didn't want my kids filled up with someone else's words and thoughts. I wanted to see what they thought about the topic and let it flow from there. I know they are capable of thinking deeper and looking inside themselves. Plus I'm there to direct.</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEire5NgM0VCvtXKwXRY7wxRtyo5d0yBnkrAzGCZsh0d0p1cu7uTSynEp3tIxaDAc9YxogWhZGcfidhHBNssLrz0694TTHMhRiIV0qenzf_DNlwYRrVdpitiaaBb5W1ybrypzlEgZf6_GBr0gGuuCif4jtpQc0lSFpU8aNpuxFHny4AAm036jN_T8Id0eQ/s1104/affirimation.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1104" data-original-width="828" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEire5NgM0VCvtXKwXRY7wxRtyo5d0yBnkrAzGCZsh0d0p1cu7uTSynEp3tIxaDAc9YxogWhZGcfidhHBNssLrz0694TTHMhRiIV0qenzf_DNlwYRrVdpitiaaBb5W1ybrypzlEgZf6_GBr0gGuuCif4jtpQc0lSFpU8aNpuxFHny4AAm036jN_T8Id0eQ/s320/affirimation.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">We have been using these cards as part of our morning basket in our homeschool.

Truth be told I just got burned out with all the changes constantly happening with blogs. I missed the days of just posting the things I liked and not caring about algorithms. I liked sharing about things I was passionate about and in a way that seemed natural. Not having to share tons of info that you have to scroll through just to get to the recipe at the bottom. Anyone else feel the same? </div><div><br /></div><div>So update. Currently still homeschooling. Two kids have graduated and two are in school. Current years are 5th and kindergarten. I wonder if anyone would be interested in seeing what curriculum we are using this year. I'm in the process of sort of switching that up but its going strong.</div><div><br /></div><div>2020 didn't really change much in our homeschool. Since we were already home we just did the work. I think we had the most solid attendance we've ever had since there were no distractions. We still met with friends and it was a nice school year. 2021 school year has been pretty solid and we have lots of outside the home activities which the kids really enjoy.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you stuck this long with me, I'd love to see a comment letting me know the kind of content you'd like to see. If you aren't following me on instagram - please hop over there. I post way more often on that channel. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>ARupLife.com received product, press or compensation to facilitate this review.

I have to admit that I've really come to love treating myself to some self-care type items. My favorite forms of self-care revolve around face masks, deep conditioning hair treatments, colorstreet nails, bath salts, good books and <a href="https://www.adagio.com/gifts/tea_advent_calendar.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TEA</a>! Yes, tea has become a huge part of my daily self-care. Not just any tea either. I like the good stuff. Real tea leaves, rich bold flavors. There is nothing like a cup of hot tea with a dash of honey to sooth my soul!</span></p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLJBploW8zqKvCGiAR0xSeNEkDr4T6plF2HF-CXC4TM_RNK7w9TMmvSQZ3d3ct4KRVDp6VjppUOqe41Nw3k-i5VbQrv7Xq3DlGtR0_4964YNiB5t8OB-1ZuctRVyZd-Pf5Un9Ezb8Conyo/s1920/Enjoy+a+cup+of+Tea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1439" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLJBploW8zqKvCGiAR0xSeNEkDr4T6plF2HF-CXC4TM_RNK7w9TMmvSQZ3d3ct4KRVDp6VjppUOqe41Nw3k-i5VbQrv7Xq3DlGtR0_4964YNiB5t8OB-1ZuctRVyZd-Pf5Un9Ezb8Conyo/s320/Enjoy+a+cup+of+Tea.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I think my obsession with tea stems from my mother. She was not a coffee drinker that was my father. He woke up and percolated his pot daily. No, my mother had an old fashion kettle on the stove and that whistle would wake me for the day. She liked your basic tea bags from the grocery store with a spoon of sugar. I have to believe that would have evolved over the years but sadly she passed when I was 17 years old. Thankfully the memories of tea stayed with me and I enjoy some of the same traditions.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of traditions, each Christmas morning we were not allowed to start present time until Mommy had her cup of tea. I remember it took forever for that kettle to whistle! I do the same thing to my kids. Of course I realize that just bought my parents some time to wake up but I love sipping my tea and watching the kids with all the excitement. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When Adagio reached out to see if I would like to sample two of their holiday sets I was more than willing.

for the whole family. Fans of all ages will crack up at the
misadventures of the Flintstones and Rubbles, who consistently find
themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. Living
in the suburbs in the town of Bedrock, Fred Flintstone is a devoted
husband who is employed at the Slate Rock and Gravel Company. He is
married to Wilma, a smart, strong-willed red-headed beauty. Their
next-door neighbors and friends are Barney and Betty Rubble.
The four of them are always involved in variety of hilarious
shenanigans of every-day living. Although they live in pre-historic
times, they have modern conveniences but they are made from stone age
materials and mainly powered by animals.<span>
</span>Since the stone age, <i>The Flintstones</i> has delivered
entertainment that never shales to delight each new generation. And now,
all 166 episodes are available for the first time in high definition.
So grab a Bronto burger and Cactus Coola, and settle
in to watch the first primetime animated television series and
celebrate 60 years of history in the making. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p> </p><p>

We quickly fell in love with this sweet, meek, little candle. With every page we turned, my daughter yelled, “No! It should be Flicker!”.

As all <span class="il">the</span> <span class="il">candles</span> vie to be <span class="il">the</span> first lit, <span class="il">the</span> wisest of them, Waxy, tells <span class="il">the</span> history of Hanukkah and <span class="il">the</span> significance of each <span class="il">candle</span> in <span class="il">the</span> menorah. However, <span class="il">Little</span> Flicker cares more about supporting his friends than being <span class="il">the</span> first chosen.

In some states I know you need a degree or an umbrella school. Let's not go into all of that - that is more about homeschooling law which you can find the info on HSLDA's website. I'm going to go into the actual logistics of teaching at home. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a name='more'></a></span><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">So this part is really simple. You just sit with your kids and teach. Ha! I know you want a complicated answer but it isn't that complicated. For the sake of this post I'll break down some main ideas or ways to teach.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Curriculum Schedules</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Basically when you buy curriculum (box or individual) there is usually a schedule that tells you what to teach on what day. You can follow this to a tee or branch off to your own interpretation. For me I usually follow the schedule but I don't necessarily follow the dating. I just do the next thing. This works well for our loose schedule. These schedules often tell you what chapter to read or workbook page to do. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Teachers guide or Instructors Guide</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">They have many different names but are all the same thing. This is your teachers manual. A good one in-dept one will tell you everything to do even down to the what to say. Most tell you a general idea of what to teach or how to teach that days lesson. They are often big and bulky as they contain a years worth of lessons or a semesters. I personally love having them even for the younger grades as there is a wealth of information in them and it makes it easy if you or the child is stuck on something to go to the guide for additional ideas.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Co-op</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">This is a group of parents that come together to help teach each other's children. Each parent volunteers for a job to keep the collective working smoothly. You might teach, do nursery or do clean up. Kids come together one or two times a week and work in a classroom setting on different classes offered. This is an awesome way to have help when teaching a subject that is a little out of your expertise or even to save on cost for classes that would require a lot of supplies at home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Online learning</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Another awesome tool is opting for online classes. There are so many types of classes you can choose in this area. Live classes or recorded ones. Some even have public school classes at home. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">DVD learning</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some curriculum offer their lessons pre-done on a DVD. We've done this for math in the past with great success. It is like having a teacher in your home teaching you. It is a great way to do a class that isn't your specialty. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">This post contains affiliate links </span><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">What a day looks like <br /></span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">So I feel like I should offer a little glimpse in what our homeschool looks like. For my high schoolers - which have both graduated- I did a mix of classes. Some online, some DVD, some textbooks, and some I taught directly. Both of my older boys liked a mix of styles and were happy to have a variety. The did a lot of independent learning as well. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">For my younger kids we sit at the table together and work. I had a 3rd grader and preschooler last year so I had the 3rd grader do his independent work while I taught preschool. This was often his reading assignment and occasionally a few workbook pages. We did literature and math together daily. As my preschooler is getting older I've had him listen in on classes and even modified some things so he could work with us. The ultimate goal is to have the older child do a good bit independently by 7th and I hope we can do some subject together like bible and history. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I really like the dining room table as our schooling place. I've bought pop up chart holders and have lap white boards to use that can easily be cleaned up. I sit in the middle so I can help either child with their work. We school after lunch because that works well for us. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I hope this helped you get an idea on homeschooling and how to teach. Please check out my fellow homeschoolers and their ideas on teaching!

In fact you might think you have it all figured out and it might end up not being a great fit. I know that is not the advice you were looking for when you stumbled on this blog post but it has happened to even us seasoned homeschooling mommas.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></span><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">So what advice can I give.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Do Research</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Look at the websites of the curriculum program your thinking about. Find external reviews on blogs like this one. Join a facebook community for that company or a general homeschooling group and ask. Ask your homeschooling friends what they think. Look at samples of the product on multiple sites (there might be different chapters shown.) </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Does It Match Your Child's Learning Style</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">This is a big one. If your kid won't sit for one book don't expect a literature based curriculum to be the best choice. By finding your child's learning style you can make a better decision if something will be a good fit.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Be Prepared To Scrap It</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Feel that freeing feeling of dropping something that really doesn't work. Don't feel like you have to "get your money's worth" or you have to "endure it." It is perfectly acceptable to not finish a curriculum and find something that is a better fit.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I highly recommend looking on three resources for curriculum. The ACTUAL manufactures website. These usually have the best samples. While there sign up for their catalog and emails so you don't miss out on and deals. Christianbook.com this is one of my favorite places to order. I can usually snag free shipping so that is a big plus for me. Rainbow Resources this is another company that often has a nice sample of the curriculum to look at and sometimes much better prices.

I do think there are some amazing things to use during homeschooling but I think there are some substantial things that are required that you can not buy as well. I think as new homeschoolers and even sometimes us seasoned homeschoolers we get caught up in the stuff. Like a classroom or the perfect curriculum. I'm hear to tell you that most of the success comes with the proper heart!</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"> A Willingness to Learn</h2><p>Hands down this is the most important thing. This doesn't just apply to students either. Mom and Dad have to have a learning mentality. Homeschooling changes your whole life. The way you thought about learning may shift too. We learn through books and curriculum but also through life. Interacting with friends, family and new acquaintances. We learn from our success and our failure. Without that learning spirit we will miss out on so much.</p><p> </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">A Heart that doesn't Compare</h2><p> </p><p>One of the biggest mistakes in homeschooling is comparing your family to another. You can easily start to doubt what your doing when on this path. Suzie's family might have musical prodigies, Heather's family might own a farm and homestead, and Cora's family might have attending college classes in high school. Maybe your family sits at the kitchen table and learns. Maybe you have a struggling learner or an nontraditional approach. The key is to not compare. To be content in what works for your family. </p><p> </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">No fear of missing out</h2><p> </p><p>Give up the idea that homeschooling has to be like public school. Give up the idea that you have to do all the same things and your kids have to have the same type of experiences. Make your own experiences! There are things you can do like homeschool prom, co-op graduations and even group field trips. We've done ALL of these. However we have missed some of the activities our school kid friends have done. At first that bothered me but so many years later I realized how we've done our own things and how happy I am that we could. We've done trips that we would not have been able to do while the kids were in school and so many other things. </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Those are the three big things but I know you want a list of things I think are important ... so ..</span></p><p> </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">GOOD BOOKS </h3><p>Get them at the library, used books, borrow them or buy them. Literature is hugely important!</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">INTERNET</h3><p>We are in a digital world . Kids need to have some access and learn how to use it. Get a good connection.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">A GREAT PENCIL SHARPENER</h3><p><a href="http://Classroomfriendlysupplies.com">Classroomfriendlysupplies.com</a> is the BEST on the market. It is one of the only things I highly recommend buying.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">A SUPPORT SYSTEM</h3><p>Find some fellow homeschooling friends! It will help on the good days and the bad days.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Trolls are back! We absolutely loved the first movie! And this family of boys from preschool to teens enjoyed the second one. It was packed with more amazing music and some great new characters! Lots of giggles happened while watching! I really liked all the talented stars in the movie - Ozzy Osborne and Kelly Clarkson are two of my favorites. My kids LOVE Queen Barb and watching her rock out to <i>Crazy Train</i>! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The best part of this movie is the timely theme. Th message is that we can all love different things (different taste in music) but still stand united. I won't get political here but it had me thinking a little about division and how most of the time we are all working towards the same bigger picture. Don't worry is politics are not your thing this movie is not about that at all. </span><br />

Poppy (Anna Kendrick), Branch (Justin Timberlake), and the rest of your

Who better to tell a story with great characters and a moral lesson than The Berenstain Bears! I have to say I love this family and have enjoyed reading them for years between my childhood and being a Momma for the last 20 years. Zonderkidz titles have the added faith-based content that makes them some of my absolute favorite titles. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Homeschooling can be a wonderful alternative to traditional school. There is great flexibility with schedules and learning styles. We are finishing up our 8th year of homeschooling. I have one son graduated and one just about to. They didn't start out as homeschoolers they started out in private Christian school but God led us to bring them home and it has been an wonderful family experience. Our younger two have always homeschooled. Next school year we will have a 4th grader and preschooler. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many times I get asked how do I have the patience. To be honest because we've always done this lifestyle with the younger two it is much easier. They didn't know anything other than school at home. I set the expectations and they know what is required. My older two sometimes gave me bad attitudes or didn't complete assignments on time. Ultimately for them they had to come to realize homeschooling is a family partnership. Once they had that mindset it was smooth sailing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So where do you start? First know that homeschooling is legal in all 50 states. Each state has their own laws and requirements. I have found the HSLDA to be a great asset in finding out what my state required. I also recommend getting in touch with local friends who homeschool and local groups. Most homeschooling Moms are happy to help you learn the ins and outs of your state and even help with curriculum. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As the world stays in chaos I think most people are considering homeschooling this fall. Mask, social distancing and longer commutes don't really jive with younger students. I can tell you that the type of schooling that happened under quarantine was not what I was doing with my kids. We had our normal schedule which is free time in the morning, lunch, nature walk then school at the dining room table. We had books and no online classes. It was a little different as we had to skip our normal park time, play-dates, homeschool get together, sports and even our nursing home visits. I am hopeful those will come back in the fall as we really missed having that time with our friends. (SEE homeschoolers do socialize! )</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Are you planning on homeschooling this fall?</span></span></div>

<h1>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span><span underline=""><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">When I first learned about this devotional I was intrigued. I've been wanting to study out Proverbs 31 in a more deeper study so this came at a perfect time. The devotional is broken up into six sections. Each day within the section has a reading based on the verse, a page with questions that apply that reading, a prayer/journal page and then a recipe page. This book focuses on hospitality along with being a virtuous woman. I actually quite like the questions and the journal pages. The recipes were easy to do which is also another plus. </span></span></span></h1>
<h1>
<span underline=""><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> I feel a little mixed about this book in general. I did not care for the introduction. There were two instances I looked things up and wasn't quite sure where the information came from. (The first being the definition of Proverbs given as "to be like" - can anyone point me in the direction to that definition?) (the second was who King Lemuel is, personally I think that is open for interpretation but it is implied in this book it is King Solomon.) Now, when I dug deeper I really liked what each devotional was saying and how they were laid out. I like it enough to continue to do the book but I will cross reference and study along with what is being said. </span></span></span></h1>
<h1>
<span underline=""><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span></h1>
<h1>
<span underline=""><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The concept of this book is awesome. It is one of the best books to study (Proverbs) and the best chapter (31) for wives and mothers to take time to learn about. I love the workbook style as that has been really what I've been leaning to lately in my bible study time. I think this book is a neat study and I'm looking forward to working through it. The theme of motherhood, Proverbs 31 and hospitality is perfect for where I am in life. My mom was the Proverbs 31 women. She passed away in 2018 and her hospitality is something I greatly miss. She taught me so much about that and I feel like God has given me that gift as well. It makes me fondly think of her when I'm reading this devotional. </span></span></span></h1>

<b>Book: </b>Priceless<br />
<b>Author: </b>Vickie Burns<br />
<b>Genre: </b>Devotional/Cookbook<br />
<b>Release Date: </b>November, 2019<br />
<br />
Priceless: A Devotional Cookbook Based on Proverbs 31 is a Bible study and cookbook combined. The author, Vickie Burns, takes the reader verse by verse through Proverbs 31, showing them how precious and loved they are. At the end of each day’s study, meal suggestions and recipes are provided to fill their homes with tantalizing aromas and great food. Even young children can help with meal preparation so they learn that dinner doesn’t just magically appear on the table.<br />
<br />
For women who’ve read Proverbs 31 and felt inadequate, like they could not possibly live up to God’s description of the perfect woman, Priceless reveals that they have more in common with her than they ever imagined.<br />
<br />
“Today’s busy mom rarely finds time to steal a few moments of peace and quiet to spend with the Lord each day,” Vickie says. “On top of that, she most likely does not take the time to flip through endless sections of cookbooks to plan a unique evening meal. Priceless encourages women to view their tasks as God’s call to an abundant life, empowers them by providing a daily word from Proverbs 31, and eases their minds by providing a full menu for the evening meal each day.”<br />

<span underline="">More from Vickie</span></h1>
This book, Priceless, is not my story but it was birthed from it. I was raised in a single-parent Christian home after my parents divorced. I watched my mom handle everything: cooking, cleaning, bills, homework, a full-time job, etc. I had no idea until I became a wife and mother all that she must have been through while raising three children on her own. I do know that she had a strong relationship with the Lord and that she had friends and family support.
Today, I look back at my childhood with renewed respect for my mom. My husband, Todd and I did our best to raise our two girls to honor the Lord while we went to school for our master’s degrees and tried to keep our household running smoothly. I had the help of a husband and was still overwhelmed while working as a teacher, trainer, coach and administrator in public education. On top of that I was still a wife, mother, friend, sister, chef, chauffer, nurse and more. Over the years, as I have gotten to know other women, I realize that I am not alone. We all long for ways to balance work and family, cooking and cleaning, physical busyness and spiritual warfare.
As my heart broke for the busy women in my life (to whom I totally relate) I longed to try and make life a little easier for all of us. I began to study God’s Word for answers. As I studied, I learned that God created us for relationship with Himself and with others. I learned that sharing our burdens with one another is His design. I found out that love should drive every word and action as we relate to others. I discovered that the crazy life that we are trying to balance is actually our ministry to our families and communities. I also realized that hospitality isn’t just something that was dreamed up by Martha Stewart. God ordained hospitality from the beginning when He created Adam and Eve in His image and placed them in the garden of Eden. God touches the heart of mankind with a piece of His own. There are examples of this throughout scripture. The biggest deposit of God’s heart within us is the gift of His Spirit. This gift is what makes genuine hospitality possible today. When we touch another person’s heart with a piece of our own, we are showing hospitality, sharing the love of Christ, and making connections that impact our world. This revelation was the birth of my ministry. I call it <i>The Heart of Hospitality</i>. Through my writing and speaking engagements, I share with women how to see the tasks and responsibilities of our daily lives as a calling from God. Beyond that, I help women understand that viewing their lives in this way is what Jesus meant when He said He came to give us “abundant life”.
My prayer for you, as you read this book is:
<br />
<ul>
<li>that you will be touched with a piece of God’s heart.</li>
<li>that hospitality will come to mean something new to you.</li>
<li>that each devotion in this book exposes your pricelessness in Christ.</li>
<li>that you will know beyond the shadow of any doubt that you are rare, unique and have significant meaning to your Creator.</li>
</ul>
May God richly bless you and your household.

<span underline=""><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> I recently read The Dating Charade by Melissa Ferguson. This was a really adorable book that had all the feels. I loved the way the story was predictable but in that cute hallmark movie kind of way. You found yourself hoping the characters would get their stuff figured out and get themselves together. This story was unique in the sense that the two main love interests had sort of double lives going on. They had the craziness of their new relationship plus all the actual real life craziness that they were trying to keep together while not bogging down that new relationship. I dug it! It is the perfect feel good book with a happy ending for all! </span></span></span></h1>

<b>Author: </b>Melissa Ferguson<br />
<b>Genre: </b>Contemporary Romantic Fiction, Romantic Comedy<br />
<b>Release Date: </b>December 3, 2019<br />
<br />
Cassie Everson is an expert at escaping bad first dates. And, after years of meeting, greeting, and running from the men who try to woo her, Cassie is almost ready to retire her hopes for a husband—and children—altogether.<br />
<br />
But fate has other plans, and Cassie’s online dating profile catches the eye of firefighter Jett Bentley. In Jett’s memory, Cassie Everson is the unreachable girl-of-legend from their high school days. Nervously, he messages her, setting off a chain of events that forces a reluctant Cassie back into the dating game.<br />
<br />
No one is more surprised than Cassie when her first date with Jett is a knockout. But when they both go home and find three children dropped in their laps—each—they independently decide to do the right and mature thing: hide the kids from each other while sorting it all out. What could go wrong?<br />
<br />
Melissa Ferguson’s hilarious and warmhearted debut reminds us that love can come in very small packages—and that sometimes our best-laid plans aren’t nearly as rewarding and fun as the surprises that come our way.<br />

<b>When Santa gets snowed in at the North Pole, it’s up to three
heroes from Quirkville to save the day—but they’re in for an ooey-gooey
surprise!</b>
<br />
Reginald (the zombie), Zarfon (the alien), and Abigail Zink (the human)
are all preparing for Christmas in Quirkville when the terrible news
breaks: CHRISTMAS IS CANCELED! Santa is snowed in at the North Pole. The
three friends hatch a plan to save the day. They load into Zarfon’s
spaceship—along with lots of peanut butter for a surprise Christmas
delivery to his home planet later on—and head straight for the North
Pole. When they arrive, they find that Santa and his elves are trapped,
not by snow, but by a marshmallow cream explosion. With a little bit of
creativity, a little bit of Christmas spirit, and one big KA-POW!, the
pals from Quirkville save Christmas and inadvertently create a delicious
treat!<br />

grandson that the Golden Rule means you “treat people the way you would

Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam. Following the Golden Rule is
something everyone can do, which means that every person—old or young,
rich or poor—can help make the world a better place.<br />

Who doesn't love new books? I know I certainly do! I actually love reading on Christmas Day. I think I've done that for at least 15 out of the last 20 years. Sitting by the Christmas tree with a cup of tea and a good book is just about my favorite thing to do. I personally love seeing my kids do the same. Today I have 6 new books to share with you. One lucky reader will win a copy of all 6 books to add to their home library!<br />

Lazell’s bright colors and brilliant characterization gives the book the
look of a classic from the 1970s or earlier, but with a very modern
sense of humor and sensibility.</div>

Isobel's grandma has lost her glasses and she can't see a thing without
them. While Isobel and Gran are in the garden searching for the specs,
they come across a cat. A very <span style="margin: 0px;">big cat</span>. A very big and stripy cat! The <span style="margin: 0px;">big
cat</span> moves in with them, much to the disgust of all
gran's other cats. He might be good fun, but he takes up lots of space
and eats every scrap of food. Eventually the new cat's mom and dad turn
up, looking for their missing son. And they
just happen to have found gran's glasses too. The tiger family are
delighted to be reunited—and gran now sees that she's been sharing her
house with... a tiger!</div>

Matt Sewell (Pavilion Children's;
10/4/2019; ISBN: 9781843653936; Hardcover $19.95; Ages 7+; 9 pages)
with scientific consultant Dr. Stephen Brusatte, vertebrate
paleontologist at The University of Edinburgh is </span>a witty, colorful celebration of the amazing lost creatures of this planet;
with a strong message of protection and conservation.</div>

Matt Sewell's follow-up to the mega-hit<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><i>The Colorful World of Dinosaurs</i><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>is
a beautifully-illustrated large format look at the amazing beasts that
time forgot—from the relatively well known,
such as the sabre-toothed tiger and woolly mammoth, to the obscure
monsters that walked the earth millions of years ago—many now forgotten.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
Although less celebrated than the dinosaurs, the range of beasts is
equally impressive, every one an amazing or scary creature that actually
stalked the planet. Like the dinosaurs, these beasts are awe-inspiring
in their variety, in a wide range of furs, feathers
and colours, making for a stunning collection of vivid watercolor
illustrations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">
The animals are arranged chronologically—from the strange invertebrate
Opabinia that lived over 500 million years ago, to the Thylacine, or
Tasmanian Tiger, that became extinct in 1936. More than 50 strange and
fascinating creatures are featured.</div>

Barry Falls' debut picture book is a brilliantly illustrated, funny and
thought-provoking celebration of where you might go and what you might
do in life that harks back to the Dr. Seuss era of children's books:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="https://amzn.to/2LDA5Ni" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="margin: 0px;">It</span>'s<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;">Your</span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;">World</span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;">Now</span>!</a><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></i>(<wbr></wbr>Pavilion

a laugh-out-loud rollicking adventure story of animals, travel, design
and finding inspiration in the most unlikely of places. It follows the
story of Mr Brown, an international fashion designer, who agrees to help
a <span style="margin: 0px;">Moose</span> he
encounters at an airport to track down his lost twin brother, Monty.
Along the way they travel the world and help multiple animals by
designing garments to meet their particular needs – including slippers
for sloths, parkas for penguins and scarves for giraffes.
The story was inspired by toys that Paul has owned for many years and
which reside in his office in Covent Garden, London.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Can we be honest about <a href="https://amzn.to/2QA6Kqs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">what Mothers really want for Christmas</a>. Here's a hint!! It isn't <a href="https://amzn.to/2QA6Kqs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bath bombs</a> or perfume! We have enough smelly stuff to last for at least five years from now. Seriously, I have a drawer full of things to make me smell better (is someone trying to tell me something??) My Mother-in-law asked me a few weeks ago what I wanted and I had to chuckle internally. She doesn't want to get me what I want. I want bills paid, the house cleaned, my car fixed... you know the stuff I can't afford myself!! So I got to thinking about my 'grown up Christmas list' and here is what I came up with!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">“As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.” </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. A <a href="https://amzn.to/2OuMYK6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clean house</a> on Christmas morning. FOR REAL. And not the one I stayed up until 2 am cleaning myself on Christmas Eve. Floors free of toys, trash cans empty waiting for the discards of Christmas breakfast. Clean enough I don't have to stage my facebook photos blocking out the pile of laundry in the corner!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. This goes with number 1 but I want a sink free of dishes. Oh and a dishwasher that is empty!! I loathe waking up to dishes to do. Christmas morning I usually have to prepare a turkey so having the kitchen cook ready is so important. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">3. This should go without saying but a healthy family. I mean really if your child has some sort of coughing, snotty, disgusting grossness keep them home the 10 days leading up to Christmas. Don't take them to Santa so they can spread all their plague with my family (who will only wake up sick on Christmas morning.) Don't take them to target while you pick up a cart full of things you probably don't need. I want NO trips to the ER or Urgent care for strep, or pink eye (yes, both have happened on Christmas day!!!) Seriously, give that child some <a href="https://amzn.to/2OnQ8iQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">elderberry syrup</a> and put them to bed! Keep the germs in your own home!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Help with the shopping and wrapping. My hubs is great with the shopping but up until recent years he would leave me with piles of stuff to wrap (even a small amount of gifts it adds up with four of them!!) I know he is busy working hard but I loathe wrapping alone. (Hopefully he reads this and we make a 'date' of wrapping like we have the past 2 years - after 20 years of marriage he has figured out I like wrapping together!) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">5. A Nap! On Christmas day after the presents are opened and the toys are already broken I want to sleep. The turkey can cook while I nap but I want to stay in my PJS and blissfully snore away while everyone is busy with their new things. Think of the days leading up to Christmas as my busy season and now it is time for some relaxation! I promise to make you some dinner but fend for yourselves on snacks for lunch and let this MOMMA SLEEP!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">6. No fighting. This isn't a big deal with big kids but littles tend to be over tired and over sugared. Usually they fight over their new loot. This year NO FIGHTING. Enjoy what you got, be thankful. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Family photos. It doesn't have to be with a professional photographer. It can be by the tree Christmas morning. But please for the LOVE OF JESUS look at the camera and smile! Don't look away, don't be distracted by the wrapped presents mound behind you. Don't make Momma scream. Don't make me cry and whine and say, " I just want one nice picture!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">8. This might just be me but I want one night I can sit by the tree with a warm drink and the lights twinkling. I love that quiet time. I might read or I might take the time to tell Jesus I'm thankful for all He has done. You might think I'm snoozing but I promise I'm not! I really do enjoy that peaceful time with some Christmas music playing. It is my favorite thing to do each holiday season. So go to bed when I put you to bed, let me have a moment, please!! </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What is your grown up Christmas list?</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So while those are all the "things" I want... I have a gift I would like to give myself. Less hustle and bustle and more enjoying the season. More Jesus, more family and more friends. I'm going to try to not do ALL.THE.THINGS. To not burn out before December 24th! I love cookie baking, caroling, visits to Santa, Our Elf visiting, holiday movies, Christmas movies and driving around looking at the lights. It is hard to slow down and enjoy the moments. I want to be sure I'm spending time with Jesus and not just in the season, after all Jesus is the reason for the season!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What is your gift to yourself this year?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I think one of the biggest things homeschooling Moms worry about is English. Once students reach high school <a href="https://www.aruplife.com/2019/11/homeschool-review-7-sisters-homeschool.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">writing research papers</a> becomes a big deal. How do you teach this skill? I know myself, I looked all over the internet for something particular. My criteria was that it be an independent course (I didn't want a full year of grammar, writing and literature because we already had something else for that) just the research paper. I wanted something that was easy for me as the parent to understand and easy for my student to comprehend. It had to take a reasonable amount of time (not a full year) and it couldn't cost an arm and a leg. Most curriculum I found was either incorporated in the entire English year or it cost quite a lot of money. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Along the way I kept coming back to <a href="https://7sistershomeschool.com/?wpam_id=46756" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">7 Sisters Homeschool</a>. It is a group of women who have homeschooled children for many years and even high school. They created their curriculum with specific needs in mind. They kept it simple (no busy work), easy and cost effective. I reached out to them to see if they would like to partner on a review because I hadn't really seen any hype about their curriculum. Having reviewed many different companies I'm always interested to try new things and I have found some of my best loved curriculum has been from independent companies. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My second born son is a senior this year and one of my major goals was to have him complete a research paper. There are many different styles to write but we choose<a href="https://7sistershomeschool.com/product/research-paper-writing-guide/?wpam_id=46756&campaign=researchpaper" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> MLA Research Paper Writing Guide</a> to work on. It was easy to print the guide and get started. The guide has clear instructions on what is expected for college prep and honors levels. It also has it broken down into four grade levels: 7th-8th, 9th,10th, 11th-12th. For us it meant a minimum of 10 pages, 30 note cards and 14 in-text citations. There is an entire grading sheet included so parents can easily score their child's work. Also included is a schedule so that you can plan how long you want to work on the papers, this ranges from 4 to 10 weeks. We have opted for the 10 week schedule due to how much time we had to work on the paper daily. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, the best part of this curriculum is the guide breaks down what the students are expected to do over the weeks. I have to admit my son was still a bit overwhelmed because he had never done research at the library. I was of little use to him because when I graduated we still used encyclopedias and the card catalog! So, once he picked out his topic a quick trip to the library was in order. Our librarian was awesome! Our library has all the research material online and it is free to access with your library card. She also showed him how to use google docs to write his paper and to use a citation site - <a href="http://www.easybib.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Easy Bib </a>- which hooks directly to google docs so the format is already handled. If you have a decent library, I highly suggest you look into the additional services they offer as this made doing the research so much easier. We were able to access all the content at home (but he could have done several trips to the library if that was required.) I also suggest you look into google docs and Easybib.com to make the writing part smooth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The hardest part of all of this was picking a topic and making sure you could gather enough interesting material to produce a long enough paper. My son choose Medieval Weaponry. At first he struggled because he was having trouble broadening the topic but after a quick discussion we were able think of more areas weaponry applied to. Things like who crafted them, who had weapons, types of weapons and even castle's defenses. Once he got those topics he was on a roll. This curriculum is pretty hands off for parents but I like to be involved in the discussions and encouragement. The major thing I told my son was just get something down and the order of how you want to discuss the various points. Then we can discuss how to expand and transform that into a working research paper. This really helped him. He handed me a rough draft that was about 7 pages long and worked on that draft to fill in the things that rounded out the paper making it a full 9 pages and well written. I decided to accept 9 well written pages instead of 10 because I could see that he covered the topic thoroughly and it was well coordinated.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My Thoughts</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved this curriculum. It was exactly what I was looking for. We treated it like a major project for his senior year. I liked the ease of use, time it took and that it produced results. Having a guide was so beneficial because we both learned how to plan and execute a research paper. I can't imagine if I had to come up with all of that on my own to convey and somehow have my son accomplish. I'm debating having him write a second paper in the second term of school just to cement what he learned and apply it. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love sharing my love of Christmas with my children. One of my favorite traditions is reading a new Christmas book each day in December. I started doing a <a href="https://www.aruplife.com/2014/12/24-days-of-books.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">book advent</a> a few years ago and it was so much fun. Have you done one? The idea is to wrap up 24 Christmas books and then open one each day of the year leading up to Christmas Eve. We put them under our tree and it is a lot of fun. I have quite a collection of Christmas books - some we read each year and I like to add a few new ones each year.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Zondervan has sent us a few holiday books to enjoy this season. I love that our Christian faith is well represented with these books - it helps round out all the Santa stuff since we all know Jesus is really the reason for the season.</span><br />
