Scripture Memory and Learning Styles

I wanted to answer the question — How does Scripture memory look in your family? — in a little more detail in the hopes that it will inspire confidence and give you ideas.

We like to start young.  Really young.  From the time our babies are infants they are listening to the spoken Word or [...]

The Babies Officially Need Some Shoes

It would help if the twins would ever keep shoes on their feet. I think (hope) they will learn very quickly now though. I took them outside yesterday and they did not like trying to walk on the grass. After we get home from my niece’s graduation in Indiana — we will be buying them [...]

Bible First – Every Day

Bible First

I am reprinting this article from my old blog, as I have been pondering this subject yet again and recommitting to it.

In our house:

Everyone does Bible first — Every Day! No Exceptions, Bible always comes first.  On days when we have COOP; or dentist appts., or whatever — Bible may be [...]

Following Blogs

Well, I am working on my blog today and trying to reconnect with old blog friends, so I finally figured out the Google Friend Connect gadget.  All you have to do is sign in to your google account in that little widget on my sidebar and you can “follow” me.  It is not quite the [...]

TTAPP — I’ve Started Exercising….

Well, I’ve been hearing about TTAPP for years on various forums and email groups where I participate.  It’s so expensive, I have always had it at the back of my mind but never followed through.

When I went to Boston Massachusets General Hospital in February to have a Tracheal Resection, my Doctor decided after I [...]

My New Daily Schedule and How It Works

I have tried before.  I really have.  I bought Managers of Their Homes by Terri Maxwell, read it from cover to cover twice, made up a schedule in 15 minute increments, and we followed it.  For about three weeks.  Tried again six months later, and then the next year, and the next.  I just could [...]

Summer Scripture Memory Contest

My children finished up AWANA las week, and since I have always wanted to keep going on Scripture Memory all summer I started looking for resources to challenge them.  I found a packet of verses on at The Learning Parent containing cards like this:

Front: When Tempted to Be Angry: James 1:19-20

Back: But let [...]

Getting Back in the Game

After over a full year of not writing, not blogging, and at times barely even checking e-mail, I am ready to get back in the game.  I cannot believe how hard it has been to have infant twins.  They are 16 months old, almost walking and starting to get much easier!!!  I am probably going [...]
