How did that happen? <br />
<br />
We've been so busy lately. We have lots going on and are enjoying all the cool weather. :) <br />
<br />
Last night we took the kids to a local place we love. They have outdoor seating with personal fire pits and live music. We had a great time!<br />

She left last Friday afternoon and I picked her up on Sunday after church. She had a blast! This was a her birthday gift. <br />
<br />
She wanted to go to summer camp last year. It's 5 days and quite a bit more money so we weren't able to do it and I didn't feel comfortable with it anyways. This time though it was shorter and I felt like it would be okay. <br />
<br />
We had to get her some warm clothes and rent a coat. haha She went up to where it was snowy. They do have cabins to stay in though and a dining hall, so they aren't in a tent really roughing it. <br />
<br />
I loved watched the Facebook page for the church, they posted a few pictures. That's the one thing about your child being gone without you, no pictures! <br />
<br />
I am so glad she had a great time! We missed her lots but it was totally worth it. <br />
<br />
Here she is waiting for the bus to get there and pick them up.<br />

<br />
Last weekend was a big deal to me. I was able to take the family and visit with my Uncle Richard and his family. My Aunt Josephine is from the Philippines and they live there. My Uncle is there most of the time and my Aunt is sometimes here and sometimes there. Their two son's, Joseph and Jonathan, live here. <br />
<br />
My Uncle came to Arizona through the holidays and we have been so busy that we didn't get to see them until the day before he flew home. Which kinda makes me sad. I wish we could have seen him a few times while he was here. We figured out we hadn't actually seen each other since I was about 10 years old. Thankfully through Facebook we had found each other and caught up. <br />
<br />
Anyway, it was a lot of fun. They invited us for a BBQ and we just hung out and talked. They all have such a great relationship and are totally funny, it was nice to see. The kids had a blast too. They played with Uncle Ricky a lot of the time and he teased them. <br />
<br />
I have always cared for my Aunt and Uncle but during this visit I was filled with this overwhelming love for them both. My Uncle is back in the Philippines now and said that he may not ever be back here. This could have been the last time I will ever see him, on earth. With all of the things going on in the world today I do not doubt that is true. <br />
<br />
I am just thankful for a great day with them all. I love you guys and will be keeping you in my prayers!

I love blogging and sharing but I obviously can't do it regularly. :) So I am going to catch up on a few things and share some pictures. <br />
<br />
Business has been as busy as always. I thought it would slow down after the holidays but it's still going full force which is good, I guess. My friend and I formed a new business together last year. That doesn't mean I don't still have my own, (and she has her own) but we joined together to form a new one where we can promote together and do large events together. It's been going great! We had a large event at the end of January, a Gatsby theme. It's for a magazine that we advertise in. All the advertisers are invited and it was super fun, plus we brought some of the desserts. :) <br />

The kids have been busy as normal. They have been spending a lot of time outside even though it is chilly. It seems that the colder it is the more time they are outdoors. They have been digging huge holes in the sandbox, playing on the swing set they got for Christmas, (Thank you grandparents!) and playing lots of role playing games. Lately it's been pirates and the princess or something like that. </div>

This is out of order but they went on a field trip late January to San Tan Mountain Regional Park. I don't know why I didn't get pictures of anything but the kids had a great time and learned a lot about the Sonoran Desert. I bought them a prickly pear sucker to try. :)</div>

In other big news.... Kaden has lost his first baby tooth! I was really surprised it was time for that. When Meghan started loosing teeth I was ready but when I saw Kaden's tooth pointed out weird I thought he must have hit it. There's no way my little boy is old enough to loose those tiny teeth, and yes he has the tiniest baby teeth ever! Alas it is time, after a few days that tooth came out and there is already another one growing in. The one next to it is loose as well. :( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tooth fairy left him two dollars and he was very excited. At first he was nervous but Meghan told him how fun it is to gross me out with the hole after it falls out and he got excited. </div>

Well there is the short version of the past couple months! February is super busy this year. Coming up we have a Valentine's skating party on Thursday. Then on Friday I drop Meghan off at church for a weekend of camp. I am a little nervous about it myself as she has never been away from us that long but she is excitedly packing and repacking her stuff to go. I am sure that Ellie and Kaden are going to miss her tons too. Then of course next week is Meghan's 11th birthday! She has asked for a few friends to go see a movie with so we will be planning that for the weekend after her birthday. We are going to a car show that weekend as well and then we are hoping to go on a skiing trip at the end of the month. Wheeew.</div>

I filled out Meghan's week of assignments and showed it to her and how it worked. On Monday it took her a long time to do her work. She didn't get everything done that day and was upset. I explained we had a break and sometimes it takes a bit to get back into the groove. On Tuesday she caught up and got some of Wednesday's work done too. So she is very happy today. I think the schedule for her is going to make things a lot easier!<br />
<br />
Kaden has been doing what he feels like doing. I don't push him to complete certain things. I ask him and usually he wants to do it but sometimes he doesn't. He's learning to read and so he has practiced reading to me this week, done some workbook pages, done puzzles and played lots. :) Ellie is just following along. She has done lots of Starfall.com and playing. They helped me make pizza last night too. <br />
<br />
<br />
It's a good week and we are all happy to be back to school!

I know I haven't been keeping up here. I let myself get too busy with my business last year. Although I love what I do I know that I can over do it and then other important things in my life are neglected. I am not going to worry about that though, I am going to look forward.<br />
<br />
Many of my friends over the last several years have chosen a word for the year. Something they focus on and learn more about. Usually they start thinking and praying about what the word will be right before the new year. It was brought to my attention a week or so ago and as I was reading a message from a friend a word and then a verse popped into my head. So guess what? I am going to focus on a word for this year as well. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">My word is<strong> <span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Trust</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
The biggest thing for me is to trust that God cares about me too. I have always felt like it wasn't great for me to pray about things personal to me, that I should only pray for others. I also thought that God cared more about others than me, I didn't expect him to answer my prayers. I know this is wrong and that He LOVES me and wants the best for me and I need to focus on that this year. I am a child of God, just like everyone else and I need to change my thinking. I am on my way and I know this year will be great for me with that focus. <br />
<br />
I also need to trust in God's plan. He knows how all the pieces fit together (thank you Papa, for reiterating) and he can handle it all. I am going to trust Him and just wait on Him. When He wants me to move I will. I must trust Him with my family as well. He knows what each person needs and no matter what I do I can't change them, only He can do that. <br />
<br />
I am going to trust also that he can help us as I work less on my business. We have a new job prospect for Nate and hopefully that comes through but either way I will trust God. I will keep working but will be more selective, (I do love making edible art!) and make sure my time is not over run with it. My first job is to teach and care for my children. <br />
<br />
<br />
This passage has been coming up a lot for me lately. That seems to happen a lot when God wants me to do something. :) This is the verse for me!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with THANKSGIVING, present your requests to God. And the Peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />

Love it! I watch the show whenever I can and I have won prizes a couple times. Tricia, the owner, is amazingly organized. The last show I was able to watch she talked all about her Christmas Binder. She has written an article about it and she is now posting weekly reminders for the countdown to Christmas. I wanted to share the article here so that if you are interested you can start also. The countdown started last week but I just made mine tonight. So you can catch up easily. Check it out and let me know if you are going to follow along. :)<br />

My family has been taking turns with some virus. I was sick for a week and a half myself and still have a little bit of a lingering cough. <br />
<br />
Sometimes I will have something just hit my spirit and I need to write about it. I am not sure what exactly brought it up today but here it is. Gossip. <br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: red;"><strong><em>Proverbs 16:28</em></strong><em> <strong>A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.</strong></em></span></h4>
<br />Why do we gossip? Did we not learn in grade school that it never works out the way you think it will? Didn't you get yourself in enough trouble and not want to go there again? I have never liked gossip, not a fan at all and if you start trying to talk to me about someone I am probably going to give them the benefit of the doubt. I am probably going to say something you don't like and we won't be talking about it anymore. Usually someone who gossips wants you to go along with it and listen if nothing else. I really try to put a stop to that right away. <br />
<br />
I have been hurt by gossip way too much. It's happened in my family. There isn't much to do but forgive and move on but I know it's being done and it still hurts. Do you think that it's ok to gossip about someone if you do it in church? Well it's not. Don't you think it could divide the church, causing you to focus on the wrong things? Do you think it's ok to gossip if you are only talking about someone with your sister? It's not. It divides families and homeschool groups and churches. It changes the opinions about the other person no matter what you think and they will not be able to hide how they feel. They are probably going to say something to that person that lets them know you guys were talking about them. Trust me.<br />
<br />
I can tell you that the people who have gossiped about me don't really know me, not well anyways, even the family members. They talk about things I have done or they believe I have done and it's not true and always misunderstood. Some of those people try to pretend and be nice to my face and others don't really care too much and they say things that let me know I was the topic of a recent discussion. Their opinion of me has been forever changed and I can't do anything about it. It's hurtful.<br />
<br />
The worst part of this? All the people I know doing it claim to be Christian. What does God say about gossip? Do you follow Jesus or do you say you do, while acting however you want to? I don't care about how you try to appear to others, God sees all my friends. Think before you gossip.<br />
<br />
I do know that I don't care about impressing others. If you want to gossip about me, just know that I know about it and I am going to let God handle you, but you are missing out, cause I am a pretty cool person. :) I do my best to serve Jesus and he knows my heart no matter what you may think you know about me. I will not tell you all the things I do or try to lift myself up to make you like me. These verses explain why I believe we shouldn't do that.<br />
<br />
My hope is that this will just make you think before you talk. Think about the person you may be hurting. Think about how as a Christian you look to the non-Christian who could be seeking. May the Lord convict your heart and help us all to live the way He has commanded. This world needs us to show God in all areas of life. <3 p="p"><br />

<span style="color: red;"><strong><em>Psalm 10:3<br />For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.</em></strong></span><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: red;"></span></em></strong><br />
<br /><br /><span style="color: red;">"[But] take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise you will have no heavenly recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.<br /><br />When you pray, do not be like hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him."</span><br />

We did have some light days and some days Meghan couldn't do anything as she caught a cold or something. She seems to be mostly better now except a little left over conjestion. We should have lots going on this week. <br />

We have had a nice day, just hanging out and resting. I am glad because I have been tired! Tomorrow it's back to homeschool for us, Meghan and I have hair cut appointments and I have cake club in the evening. Of course all the normal stuff like cleaning and feeding people will probably happen too. <br />
<br />
On that note here is our latest Muffin Tin meal to share. <br />

<br />
I know I haven't been blogging regularly. That should change now that we are getting back to a regular schedule. We didn't take the summer off from school but we just did Math and lots of Reading. I almost feel like we were off. <br />
<br />
I have a new schedule now, lots of activities and trips planned, new curriculum and another child added to the "school age" mix. Kaden is in Kindergarten this year and Meghan is in 5th grade, (wow). Ellie must do everything they do so she asks for school work all the time. She will work on preschool. <br />
<br />
Today was our first official day of the new school year so I decided this year to take them to breakfast. Here are some pictures. We went to Paradise Bakery because the little local place I was going to take them was closed. I have no idea why because it was their business hours. Oh well. We shared egg croissants and bagels. Then the kids had a cookie. Their cookies are the best. :) <br />

This week Kaden's birthday was Monday. We were supposed to have a party on that day but he has been a little under the weather. I am hoping he will be ok soon and we will try again next Monday. We are now going to focus on Easter until then.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I am going to post pictures from Ellie's birthday. We decided to go to the Renaissance Festival for her birthday. The kids had a lot of fun and it was Ellie's first time there. <br />

Why? Because I can and I am random and weird. ;) I love doing these and don't organize them really well so I forget more than not. I should make a list or something. You can check it out and see what others top ten lists are about too. You can even join in if you have a blog. <br />
<br />
I thought I would share my top ten homeschool resources and/or sites. These are the places I read all the time. I use the resources they offer and I enjoy them a lot. <br />
<br />
In no particular order....<br />
<br />
<br />
#1. <a href="http://www.homeschoolshare.com/">Homeschool Share</a>- This is by far my favorite site. All the unit studies and extra are free, created by other homeschool moms. They are updated as they get new units and it is run by a Christian family that I have gotten to know over the years. Looooove it!<br />
<br />
<br />
#2. <a href="http://www.amandabennett.com/">Amanda Bennett Unit Studies</a>- Another great source for unit studies. They are inexpensive, and even then they do lots of deals and sales making them even less expensive. Depending on the unit they are able to cover a week up to a month or longer. I have found that they are so inclusive that you really can stretch them out even longer if there is a subject you really just want to stick with. I have many of these units. Again this one is owned by a Christian woman.<br />
<br />
<br />
#3. <a href="http://www.1plus1plus1equals1.com/">1+1+1=1</a>- Carisa is a wonderful Christian woman as well. I believe it started as a blog but as she has grown she added a site with more ideas and printables. I used lots of her printables for my little ones. She has awesome ideas on how to organize as well as fun themes for learning. I am going to be making her calendar notebooks for the kids soon. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
#4. <a href="http://preschoolalphabet.blogspot.com/">Preschool Alphabet</a> - This is a blog I found recently. I have been looking for more for the younger two and she has some great alphabet pages and themes. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
#5. <a href="https://www.google.com/">Google</a> - This is a given right? I search Google for everything! We look for all kinds if information to supplement whatever we are working on. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
#6. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">You Tube</a> - Another no brainer. If we ever want to see anything done or look up how something is done this is where we look. Did I tell you about Meghan wanting to know how taxidermy is done? Well she looked up video's about it. (yuck right?) There are also documentaries on all kinds of things. She has watched history and science video's there. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
#7. <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> - This one is fairly new right? There are pins on all kinds of subjects including homeschooling. Many of my homeschool friends have homeschool boards there. We can save anything and everything homeschool. You can search and find just about anything you may or may not need. You can get lost in Pinterest. It's awesome!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
#8. <a href="http://www.khanacademy.org/">Khanacademy</a> - I have not had a whole lot of time to look through this one yet but I have been told a lot about it and as Meghan is getting older I believe we will use it more. There are tons of videos on math, science and history and even some test prep if you need that.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
#9. <a href="http://www.aaaspell.com/grade4.htm">AAAspell.com</a> - I have found several spelling list sites actually. These are great. There really is no need to buy a spelling curriculum at all. You can find lists for the grade your kid is in, or you can find where they fit best and just go. There are also lots of site for spelling games and practice. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
#10. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a> - Yes I am going to put Facebook on here. I have so many homeschool groups on there, both local and not. I can plan a field trip, get a recommendation for a history lesson and learn about new homeschool sites all in the same spot. I love that! I also find lots on homeschool blogs and my favorites are the ones that have a Facebook page as well. I can like the page on Facebook and keep up that way rather than using a reader or having all the updated posts go to my email. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed my top ten homeschool resources. I always appreciate seeing what others use and love. It really helped when I was first getting started and even now, I always find something I love.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14673798651033515166noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777656849699337655.post-51971105013703144702012-04-02T15:44:00.001-07:002012-04-02T15:45:35.549-07:00A Quick NoteOn Friday we had a field trip to Estrella Wars. It's the Renaissance era, kind of like the Renaissance festival but more historically accurate, they say. Anyway, it was 91 that day and so hot! We only went to a few vendor tents after our tour and then we had to leave. One of the last ones we looked at had all sorts of precious stones and metals. Kaden loves rocks! When we were leaving the lady gave each of the kids a small rock. I guess you can call it a rock. It was smooth and clear looking, they were green, blue, yellow or clear. They looked like decorative marbles you can buy only not round, more oblong. On Saturday Kaden found his and put it in his mouth. I am guessing because it is smooth, and then he accidentally swallowed it. Thankfully he didn't choke. He came to tell us about it a while after he did it. Now we are hoping and praying he doesn't have any issues though. He threw up twice last night which seems to be a fluke but it caused a little concern. We postponed his birthday party just to make sure he isn't spreading a germ around.<br />
<br />
He's had a good day though. He slept in and has been relaxing today.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14673798651033515166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777656849699337655.post-74452559342845294172012-03-24T20:53:00.001-07:002012-03-24T20:53:43.284-07:00Birthday SeasonI have been calling this period of the year Birthday Season, you know like the holiday season, only for birthdays. My family has birthdays once a month from February until May... then there is this big break of 4 months and I have my birthday. Anyway, so we started with Meghan. Hers is in February and she turned 10. I really can not believe I have a 10 year old but that's another story.<br />
<br />
For her birthday breakfast I made chocolate gravy.... Ok so she made her own but she really wanted to! I swear! Really.... she loves to cook and will cook anything I allow her. The only thing is that she forgets to turn on the vent and several times our very sensitive smoke alarms have gone off. That's not fun, they stay on for 15 minutes and its not just one. They are all wired together somehow so once one goes off they all go.... for 15 minutes!<br />
<br />
Ok I am over it. Here she is making her chocolate gravy. Kaden helped with the biscuits which are not scratch. oh well. <br />

We had a lot going on too. I probably won't mention it all.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the month we had my brother and his family come and stay with us. Shortly after that Meghan started having this amazing rash, every day, at random times and places on her body. We started trying to figure it out and finally decided it was the switch in laundry detergent we had made. It was a soap we had used before so it was weird. Since then she has had reactions to a scented lotion we had as well. We will have to be careful with her. Ellie has had reactions to lotions too. <br />

I just can't keep it up all the time. I will do well for a bit and then I get busy and something has to go. I am sure you understand... unless you can keep up. Hmm <br />
<br />
Anyway, we've been extremely busy. Lots going on and I hope to post some photos and catch up on some things you have missed. <br />
<br />
Right now I just want to tell you that I do not like bugs. Ok that wasn't it. My kids are outside playing and they keep finding different kinds of bugs. They then bring them inside, in a sand toy for me to see and tell them what they have found. Then Meghan will ask me to look it up to see what it eats and if it bites. :) <br />
<br />
So far they have found a black bug, Aphids, Pill Bugs and a snail. I love the learning but I hope they don't bring me anymore bugs. ;)<br />
<br />
Kaden did pick and bring me some purple flowers too. That was sweet.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14673798651033515166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777656849699337655.post-74442128560502383122012-01-22T13:18:00.003-07:002012-01-22T14:49:38.690-07:00No More Girl ScoutsYou know that thing when God starts bringing things to your attention, over and over... Until you figure out you need to research and pay attention? Yea, that.<br />
<br />
It's happened for a couple of big things in our lives. Things like vaccinations and homeschooling. Things that you just have to listen to, you know you have to do it, it's not going away. I know that I am called to homeschool and if I put my kids into school it just wouldn't go well. So even on those days I am slightly jealous of other mom's,(who have lots of daytime, alone time, to clean their homes and run errands and plan meals....), I know I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. <br />
<br />
It seems that I keep seeing posts about the Girl Scouts and what they stand for, who they are supporting with their income. There are video's about lifetime Girl Scouts who have started speaking out about what they are doing. After a lot of reading and searching and discussion with the hubby, I decided that we were probably not to be there any longer. I explained to Meghan some of what they are doing. That was not super fun. It's hard to imagine my little girl is getting to the age where we have to talk about these types of things. She was shocked and appalled, of course. <br />
<br />
So we decided together to leave the troop. Not that our troop is teaching anything bad at all. We were in a Christian, Homeschool troop. It's just the fact that the money we spend on uniforms, badges and t-shirts and the money made from cookie sales is going to support things completely ungodly and not really supporting girls at all.<br />
<br />
Meghan is sad that she won't get to go to regular meetings and have fun activities with the girls but we are looking into <a href="http://www.keepersofthefaith.com/">Keepers of the Faith</a> clubs. We may try and start our own group. There is also <a href="http://www.keepersofthefaith.com/category/ContendersForTheFaithIndex">Contenders for the Faith</a> with is for boys. I think they might be able to work together somewhat but I need to research more. <br />
<br />
I am still going with it's not always fun to be an adult. Sometimes I want to throw a tantrum myself and ask why I have to do things no one else has to do, but I know better. ;) I have always been a good girl, no matter what anyone says. <br />
<br />
If you are interested in more information on what the Girl Scouts are doing, here are some links to get you started. <br />
