My New To Do List

-

NEW LIST in no particular order:

  1. Work on home and church finances
  2. Work on Ladies Day of Renewal blog
  3. Check on kefir & buttermilk in brewing cabinet TODAY
  4. Make more yogurt
  5. Plan menu this week.
  6. Work on laundry - wash/dry/put away. This will also include going through kids clothes to get rid of too small clothes and inventory for this coming fall what will need to be purchased (I usually try to do this in the Spring but I'm a bit behind this year).
  7. Start reading book from Values Driven Family entitled, Values Driven Family :-). You can check out there books here. This family is awesome. I had the chance to meet them at CHEO and they are just like you and me. Down to earth but on Fire for God! I was also pleased to meet their 7th child, Jubilee who was born June 15. She is the littlest thing, no bigger than a minute! So be sure to order something from them as it will help support them in all they do and help them financially as they prepare to go to Kenya later this year. http://www.valuesdrivenfamily.com/ (oh yeah BTW-if you are looking to homestead and raise your children on beautiful acreage, they have a beautiful home for sale in Indiana 3,000 SF log home on 10 acres: 4 BR, 3 bath, with front and rear decks. Central air for $204, 900. In my opinion this is a GREAT price compared to some places in my area!
  8. Work on implementing 2 key things from their book-Scheduling and Budgeting
  9. Work on schedule for Fall - this will be for the day to include cleaning, school, and overall life.
  10. Go through school book, My Father's World Kindergarten to set up schedule of supplies
  11. Figure out how to implement their Child Training to include chores and allowances. We have purchased this bank, "My Giving Bank" and this book called "The Jingle In My Pocket" and will use them together to help our children understand the beginnings of how money works. It is all about Sharing It (Tithe), Saving It (for that special occasion), Spending It (to rewards yourself for your hard work).
  12. Determine how I will implement these 2 lapbooks, "Harvest Festival" and "Celebrating Passover" when it is the appropriate time of year.
  13. Research more lapbooking sites to get ideas for school and for my Sunday School class that I teach.
  14. Research lapbooking for Spring Kindergarten Co-op. I will be helping/co-teaching with a friend of mine about things underground (insects/tunnels/pipes/buildings/roots/etc.) I think it would be neat do a lapbook on this.
  15. Go through school room and get it organized
  16. Go through my JUNK room and get it organized and ready to sell stuff in yard sale
  17. Plan yard sale for non-hot day
  18. Start a homeschool blog for journaling our days (when I can) over at Homeschool Blogger

Well I have to get off this blog or I will be on here all day. As you can see above I have quite a list of activities/chores to complete and it will take me some time to get it all done.

Blessings to you all until next time!

Tea Tree Oil I

I have heard so much about this oil and thought I would finally try it. My excuse to finally get it was I found a great little homemade recipe online for diaper rash (or prevention of) using Aloe, tea tree oil, etc. (I will post this recipe later). So since I will be switching to cloth diapers soon and wanted to also switch to a more natural diaper wipe (using the recipe I found in a spray bottle to a dry wash cloth makes a good "diaper wipe") I went ahead and ordered from my favorite little website http://www.vitacost.com/ and my items just came in a couple of days ago. **Even though I purchased mine online (I bought other items too) you can find this in lots of stores now including your local health food store. Sometimes Health food stores are a little higher in price so it might behoove you to call around to your local grocery stores or even retailers like Walmart, Kmart, etc. to see if they carry it before you go searching for it. This will help you plan your trip and yo

Let's Eat Organic! In Season and Out -

My family and I have been trying to switch as much as possible to all natural and organic. It is a bit overwhelming when you think of all the food that is out there to choose from. So I thought in order to make things easier for me when I shop I would compile a list of foods that are best to eat Organic while others are better to eat All Natural and then of course there are the foods that you just can't really get around or may be okay to eat. So to get started this is the Organic portion. For a good article click here . I used to shop mainly at Aldi's and supplementing at Meijers with a an occasional Wal-Mart thrown in. But I have to admit that I have a problem. When I go to the big superstores I get myself in trouble and end up spending WAY too much money because I always "wander" over to the other sections that do not pertain to groceries and always find something that I "need". So recently I have decided that I'm going to start shopping at Krogers fo

A Modest Ladies Survey

I saw this at Candy's site, Keeping The Home I would love to see your responses to these questions as well.  If you have a blog then post it and send me the link so I can read them (and others can too).  I'll put in my answers to the below questions, so make sure to comment and leave your URL (or answer right here on the comments) so we can read your answers. Do you wear makeup? Yes.  I wear just a bit on occasion.  I wear brown eyeliner, black mascara and a bit of neutral eyeshadow (browns or purples - not like royal blue purple but subtle).  I like to do this for my hubby as well as a pick-me-up to myself.  I also wear tinted lip glosses.  Once a year I get all dolled up to go to my Hubby's company End of the Year Party and then I wear my hear real fancy with a bit more make-up with a new (or new from thrift-store) skirt and blouse and of course got to have some beautiful stylish high heels. Do you wear a head covering? I cover sometimes as my Hubby is not quite co
