The Homeschool Mother's Journal
In my life this week…
What a week I have had!  I celebrated my 36th birthday with my family on Wednesday.  I have also started a new bible study on Wednesday night at our church.  I am really excited about it.  A friend from the Homeschool Village asked me to write a post for Friday.  You can read the post here.  I also had a post at Seeds of Faith today.  You can read that post here.  I enjoy writing and I am hoping to start posting more on my blog.
In our homeschool this week…

We are starting to get a groove in our homeschooling once again after being so sick the past couple of months. The kids have started their new math, Bob Jones for the younger two and Teaching Textbooks for my oldest daughter. I have also started Hooked on Phonics with the younger two children. They are loving it!  

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…

We went to lunch on Wednesday for my birthday. We meet my hubby and a co-worker at a Chinese restaurant in town. My oldest daughter and I took a meal to a homeschool family who had a bay this past week.

My favorite thing this week was…

was getting a Temp-tations set in the mail from my mother-in-law. Also getting birthday cards and birthday wishes from many friends and family!

What’s working/not working for us…

Hooked on Phonics is what is working for us! They actually wake up asking to do this first. I am so thrilled they are enjoying school once again.

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…

I have been busy thinking about what we will be using for next year’s curriculum. We will definitely be sticking with Hooked on Phonics, Bob Jones math and Teaching Textbook. I am also going to try Mystery of History with my oldest daughter. Not for sure about Science for any of the kids.

A photo, video, link, or quote to share…
This big guy was in our neighbor’s yard.  Another wonderful sign of spring!  I can’t wait to share more photos that I was able to get today of flowers and the turkey!

Multitude Monday- Blessings #331-335
 

You can always find a way that God has blessed you in your life. All you have to do is look.
Here are a few ways that I have been blessed this past week.

331. Neighbors who will help you dig out a septic tank in the rain.

332. Neighbor’s pastor to come with his bobcat to help finish digging the septic.

333. Friends from church who take off a 1/2 day of work to help us get new lids for the septic tank.

334. Friends from church who loaned us his trailer so other friend could have a way to bring the lids back to our house.

335. Pastor friend that spent a Friday afternoon helping to cover septic back up.

Yes, this was a messy job. A job that not many want to deal with. However, we had several people to drop what they were doing to come and help us out. I have been praising God daily for those friends. God truly blessed us with many wonderful friends when we moved to this house.

You can also take part in the Multitude Monday by visiting A Holy Experience.  What are you thankful for or what blessings have you received this week?  I would love to hear them!
