Maximize your Morning Challenge

One of my goal this week was to get back on track as far as waking up at 6 or 6:30 in the morning, have my quiet time and get going with day. Well, it has not happened yet, and it needs to. Today I came across this Maximize Your morning challenge, based on Kat's ebook Maximize Your Morning and thought this is what I need to help me get going.

In a previous post i had talked about how important and valuable waking up early is and I still believe it. However, the execution is way harder. I did it for a few weeks, then back to my bad habit. Now, before school starts I really want to get back to it, so that our school days may run as smoothly as possible.

Kat blogs @ Inspired to Action. If you hop over you can find her e-book there. At Michelle's blog, So I Married a Mennonite, you will find the Maximize Your Morning Challenge.

Here is the challenge for this week:

1. What time will you wake up? 6-6:30 am

2. What time do you need to go to bed to make sure you still get enough sleep? I need to get to sleep before by 11:30

3. Collect all the items you need for your morning time: I just need to keep my bible and notebook in a handy spot.

4. Set your alarm clack (and a backup clock, if necessary). I do not like alarm o'clock, I usually wake up naturally. The challenge is getting out of bed instead of snoozing back.

5. Find an accountability partner. It is going to be mu hubby of course. He is pretty good at waking up when he needs to.

So, I am starting tomorrow. I pray the Lord will give me grace to do what is right and good. It is only by the grace of God that we can do anything.

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...

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...

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...
