Mama's What?????

Well, we have this:

and this:

and this, too:

But more importantly, we have this:

Three very happy kiddos that have been so excited to go to "Mama's Homeschool". That's what they call it. So cute!

I'm not sure if many of you knew, but I've been homeschooling Amanda now for almost a year. She's doing beyond great! I've prayed and prayed about whether or not to homeschool the little ones and each time I have, I would feel God's nudging me to do so. I waited. I prayed some more and again, the answer was, "Yes! This is what I want you to do." So here we are!

Summer's almost over and we've been busy, busy, busy. (Lots of pictures to be shared soon) We've had trips to the beach, weekly trips to the movies, to the park, lots of pool playing at our new house, and playdates with friends. Soon it will all be coming to a close. On August 23rd, Mama's Homeschool will be open for business! Our curriculum is set and we just need to get a few more odds and ends to complete what we hope and expect to be a spectacular year!

I know many of you homeschool and as I've picked brains asked many of you on FaceBook for your ideas, I'm also asking those of you that read the blog.

It's gonna be a whole new world for all of us. We're excited and ready to jump in with both feet! We have lots of plans that include many fun activities while we learn!

If you homeschool or even if you don't, and have resources, ideas, or just want to give me your input, feel free to email me or leave me a comment. As always, I love hearing from you!!!!

Oh, if you're wondering about socialization for the kids.....read THIS! I loved it!

'Nuff Said!

Christmas in July

Many of you know my dear friend, Holly, from A Purpose Driven Life.

Holly and her family, after much prayer and God's leading, have found their daughter, Elaina, in China. I can't tell you how scrumptious this little one is. But, I can tell you that Holly has a huge heart for orphans. She's an amazing servant to our Lord and is always there for those that need her.

She needs us now and not only can you help, you will end up with a beautiful piece of jewelry for an extremely reasonable price ($10. average).

Here's the deal:

On July 6th ONLY- shop Sarah's Treasure Box Make SURE you leave a note when checking out that you are purchasing for Elaina's fundraiser or they won't get credit for the purchase.

Check out her Etsy shop now to see what you want but don't buy until tomorrow, July 6th. You do have to register to use Etsy but it is super easy and painless! Just pick a username, email account and password and voila! You pay online and it's done in a few clicks of the mouse!

Have fun shopping!!!
