The homeschool Village: How do you refresh?

It’s Thursday and it is time to meet up with the Homeschool Village.

Photobucket


This week’s theme is: What do you - homeschool mom - do to get refreshed for the next school year?

Well, Refresh? What is that? Oh you mean recharge? Do we ever? Once a mom, always a mom!

With that being so, we do need a break. and here are some of the things I do to give myself a break, and not only during the summer.

  • Take a vacation. I have been blessed these past 2 years to be able to do so. last year we went to visit some friends in Michigan for a week, and I can tell you there was no school talk. This year we are going to fly to Martinique (which is where I come) from for 3 weeks, and I can tell you there won’t be any formal schooling going on.

  • Plan for the next year

  • Read

  • Re--organize things around the house

  • Enjoy time with the whole family (picnics, outings, games etc…)

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
