7 Quick Takes Fridays

7 quick takes sm1 Your 7 Quick Takes Toolkit!

We finished school for this term 2 weeks ago, and have been enjoying our first week of break.

Here are some of what they had done in the past month:

Our church Cantata went well, praise God. The duet my hubby and I sang went very well as well, for which we are grateful. Right at this moment my kids are singing the cantata in their bedroom over and over with much enthusiasm. Very sweet.

Christmas pictures have been taken, I just don't have them yet. These are just some I took for fun:

Gifts are all wrapped up and mostly given out.

I experienced the blessing of God's protection as I had an auto accident ( collision) last night without injuries for my son and me. We might need a new car though, but that's still to be determined. At least I do not have to incur any cost as I was not at fault.

I am very happy about the new playbook I got for christmas. Another praise item.

One of our traditions from back home in the Caraibbeans. This is what we will have for breakfast on Sunday with some Hot Cocoa made the Martinican way.

Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...
