Homeschool Theme of the Day

By: amyswandering2 Comments

theme of the day

We had great success last year with our Theme of the Day Chart!

With 5 kiddos needing my attention, it was hard for us to fit in the fun stuff like crafts or artist studies. Adding them to our morning homeschool routine allows us to stay on track without the extras slipping through the cracks.

I am changing it up just a bit this year by using Wednesday to focus on Geography instead of Writing. Last year’s Theme of the Day Chart is still available if that suits you better.

{All of the links below are FREE, but that could change so double check!}

Celebrating Christmas in July

By: amyswanderingcomment

celebrating christmas in july

My mom’s birthday is on July 25th, so last year we threw her a Christmas in July party. It was so much fun!! My gears started turning as I cooked up a plan for this year…

We could use July 25th to try out some of the fun projects & recipes that we never find time for during December!!

I don’t know about yours, but my family likes to stick very closely to traditions. And since no one likes a stressed-out mommy, I try to limit how many new activities I add each year.

KISS –  Keep it Sweet & Simple, that’s my motto.

Christmas in July is the perfect time to try out some new ideas.

We are going to start our day with this yummy Cinnamon Baked French Toast that has been calling to me from my Pinterest Christmas Board.

{Note to self: set Pandora to a Christmas station!}

I am going to give each kid a Christmas Wish List so they can get a head start.

My kiddos like to toss in their 2 cents, so I created a Christmas to Remember survey for them to fill out so we can plan our holiday season.

After an appetizer dinner of sausage balls and fried mozzerella sticks, we will watch a movie and have a snowflake cutting party. The snowflakes will be carefully bagged up and put away to make a gorgeous blizzard garland. I have had it bookmarked for YEARS, and we have a snowflake party every December, but never manage to find time to put it all together. I’m thinking this might be the year we finally get it up. 😉

There are so many things you could do for Christmas in July:

You can also take some time to think about getting off the Crazy Christmas wagon. Christmas is a season of joy and peace. A time to celebrate a Savior.

Need some inspiration?

Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

By: amyswandering1 Comment

sg baby

Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
~ Charles Wesley
