5 on Friday

The Pebble Pond

Thank God for another good, productive week. His grace is ever sufficient and His love unfailing.

This week in 5 random facts:

1. We had some basketball time with the boys (more like dad - I am no basketball player):




2. I had a week of books delivery (for me) : I got: The Envy of Eve,  The Organized Heart, Christ in the Chaos,  Intentional Parenting. Lots of reading awaiting me!

3.  Zach has been enjoying his electives class on plasticine. Here are some of the projects he did over the past few weeks:


4. School has been going steadily in Math, Spelling, French, Grammar,  Handwriting and History. Zach is almost through his Grammar Town sentence practice book as well as his handwriting book. We are in week 31 in TOG out of 36. I have not given much thought as to how our school in the summer will look like, I guess I better get to it soon. For sure we will be having crew stuff and be doing Bible Road Trip, the rest I do not know.

5. This week we started a new meal routine consisting of eating dinner in the morning (preferably before 8), and breakfast for dinner. A friend, a few years ago, mentioned to us how the enzyme that allows for fat burning is at his highest in the early morning, so since I need to lose the weight, we deciding to give this a try. I am liking the routine, heavy in the morning and light in the evening, somehow this allows me to eat less carb (which is my main pitfall), and, as a side benefit, I am staying on top of my dishes too.

One of our dinner this week
Join Miranda @ The Pebble Pond for more 5 on Firday.

Your meal routine sounds very interesting. I love the idea of switching breakfast and dinner, but not the idea of cooking dinner that early!

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...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. 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...

When Lightning Struck - A Book review

Are you studying the Reformation? Do you love Historical Fictions? Do you love reading about the heros of the faith? Then read on... As a homeschooler I always encourage my fellow homeschoolers to include Historical fictions in their study of History as it helps students really enter the time period that they are studying and get a better picture of how people lived and what they felt. I recently had the privilege of reading a historical fiction titled When Lightning Struck: The Story of Martin Luther . If you have never heard of Martin Luther or read anything about him, you are missing out and here is your chance to learn who he was and what he did in an enjoyable way. When Lightning Struck is written for Middle and High schooler, but I could not put it down. If you love reading you will devourer this book. It would also work really well as a read-aloud for upper-elementary kids. It contains 23 chapters of average length that will keep you wanting to know more. When Lightni...
