Special Holiday Meals: Our 1st Shepherd’s Dinner

Hi! Just wanted to jump on really quickly and share a few photos of our 1st Bethlehem/Shepherd’s dinner which will be happening on a yearly basis in the future… the timing might change a bit but we definitely want to repeat this!

I love you enough…

I saw this on FB and just had to share:

Just a reminder to keep doing what you are doing even when it’s tough. Don’t let society pressure you into doing/not doing things because old fashioned values seem to be going out of style!

We need our kids to be fair, caring, and responsible citizens of tomorrow. We need our kids to know right from wrong and to respect boundaries. We need our kids to encourage others who may not have had the support they needed while they were growing up.

It all starts today, at home!

God bless!

It’s that time of year again for us… time to get the next school year planned out. We finished up our 2023-2024 school year before Easter and I’ve been busy gathering supplies and making schedules as I coordinate with everyone for vacations, holidays, and special trips that we have planned.

It is always SO TEMPTING to take a few months off to just focus on this house but I know from past experience that this doesn’t go well and that it takes FOREVER to get a couple of the kids back into the school routine. You can read more about last year’s curriculum and routines HERE.

We switched to more of a Charlotte Mason-style approach and it was GREAT for the most part. We still have a couple of kids who just hate anything to do with math so that’s been a little challenging but we’re making progress. We’ve also really enjoyed using some of the FREE courses with Under the Home Homeschool.
