Homeschool Mom Treat

I like to find myself some sort of small treat to perk me up through the school year. Last month while in Indiana I found the perfect back to school goody for myself.  We were at the container store when I found these little gems.

They are called Magnetic Dry Erase Talk Bubbles and they retail for $6.99. You can get them right here Magnetic Dry Erase Talk Bubbles. So very cute!! LOVE THEM! I have been writing chores on them for our son. They have perked up my day. See what they can do for you.

Back to school day!

How is your back to school day going? We did school on and off during Christmas break since we like to take time off in February for cabin fever.

Our first day back starts with homeschool bowling, our son loves PE and bowling is a fine way to get it in.

Are you starting anything new and exciting this semester? We are going to finish up Latin and start on Proverbs People from The Learning Parent, love all the materials from the Boyer family. Click the link to see what they have going on. They are running a sale right now and a lot of items. They are Godly conference speakers and have 14 kids and started homeschooing back in 1980. Check them out!

Have a wonderful day back.

Old friends & Proverbs

There is nothing like a surprise of running into old friends. Today while at my sons game I ran into two mommy friends of mine, one a homeschooling mom and another a public school math teacher mom. Both I love dearly. They are the type of ladies that you don't find too often in your life: real, caring and sincere all rolled into one (well two in this case).

We are all busy with our families and we don't 'socialize' together, but whenever we run into each other it's like we have never been apart, we just start chatting. It's a blessing to share things and find that I'm not the only one to get the "Mother of the Year" award (meaning we have really had a major goof as a mom!) lol. It's nice to share a struggle or an area that needs prayer from an understanding mom.

It's exciting to see how the Lord uses each of these ladies, public school math teacher mom has an AWESOME ministry to her public school kids. She cares for each of her students, prays for them and they know that she cares about them. Homeschool mom has taught me about being more calm in addressing things with my son, having more patience in school, and not fretting over teaching to the test.

I just had to share this blessing in my life. The Lord provides people in our lives for the season we are in. 
Proverbs 13:20 "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."
Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."

Have a wonderful weekend!
