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!

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...

With a 14 year old (9th grade) and a 16 year old (11th grade) I really feel like time is sleeping away; but that is the reality of life. We are but a vapor...

Homeschooling - A Glimpse into How We Do it

2016 was a pretty skimpy blogging year for me. Ask me why, I am not sure I have an answer for you beside life happening and writing inspiration fading. With a new year upon us I will try to get back on the blogging scene and what best topic to start the year with than giving you a glimpse into what homeschooling looks like in our home with now two teenagers. In the past 4 years I have enjoyed participating in the Virtual Curriculum Fair hosted by Homechooling Hearts and Minds , so I am happy to start my year participating once more.
