“There are so many different kinds of snack foods, store-bought and homemade, and I would like to invite you to share what snack foods your family usually snacks on throughout the week. You’re welcome to make season lists too. I know there are different meals we eat during the colder seasons than we do in the warmer ones, and I imagine there are also seasonal snack foods as well.”
Snack time is mid-afternoon in our house. The kids get to pick one item and can have milk(organic), juice or water to drink. (Fruit is available anytime of the day – I don’t count it as a snack.)
Here’s what we usually have on hand:
I added a snack basket to our pantry a couple of weeks ago and it has worked out great! Our snacks have lasted much longer and the kids enjoy being able to see all the choices. I got the idea from this WFMW post – go check out her idea and pics!

Happy First Day of Fall!
This is my favorite time of year – beautiful colors, pumpkin spice candles, leaves scattering in the breeze. I always feel so refreshed & renewed in the Fall. I’m going to start this Autumn renewal with a little bloggy break. Our church is spending this week in prayer & fasting – I can’t do a food fast right now, so I’m doing a blog fast instead. I won’t be posting here, or reading my bloglines, for the rest of the week. I must confess that this is a difficult thing for me- I hate to miss out on what’s going on. Precisely the reason I need to give it up!
Is there anything I can be praying for you this week? Send me an email & let me know. toombstown AT gmail DOT com
Here are some neat things going on this week in Bloggyworld. I will be joining in the fun this weekend. Have a great week!

This week’s assignment:
“Since I’ve been making you work really hard on the previous Memoir themes I decided to take a little break, and do something fun! This week I want to invite you to share a few of your favourite things – er – sites. I know the list of favourite things could be never-ending, but I’ve made a list for you to do regarding your favourite homeschool things. Just copy this list and add your favourites underneath the appropriate category. BUT by all means you’re welcome to add your other favourite things on the post as well!”
These are a few of my favorite online things:
*Magazines/Carnivals – in print or online
Freebie sites – any sites that offer freebies or often have giveaways
Homeschool news/informative
Forums/book clubs
Networking, Blog “About” (sites that offer tech-support or tutorials for computer/internet) & Quick Links
Mom site – a sites just for moms
Inspirational/encouraging/motivational
Youth/kid – sites geared towards youth/kids or owned by them
Memes
Organizing/crafts – sites that you look to for organizing tips or crafts
Homemaking/Homesteading
Bible-focused – sites mainly about God’s Word
Homeschool Method – sites that offer a lot of info on a certain method
Family blog – sites that give you a glimpse into another family’s life, run by a family
Businesses, particularly homebased
This is a Christian-run home party plan with beautiful, affordable home decor. I was an active Designer for several years and made quite a good nest egg from just 4-5 parties a month. HGP offers one of the highest commissions in the business, and the support and training are outstanding!! I no longer have time to do parties :o( , but I’m still signed up because I love the products so much! (I still have people calling me to order candles – they are that yummy.) The link above will give you lots of info & help you find a Designer in your area. This is the perfect time of year to start with Christmas just around the corner – people love being able to shop from home, and there are no extra shipping costs when ordered through a party! Bonus: right now you can sign up for half price!! (p.s. Since I’m not active, I don’t gain in any way from the link above. I just love this company & the Godly principles it was built on, and hope it might bless someone else too! Feel free to contact me if I can answer any questions.)

I’m participating for the first time in Weblink Wednesday, a fun list of educational sites. I love online learning!
My girls have a history research project to do every week and sites like wikipedia are just over their heads (plus I don’t know if I can trust the content). I was looking for a kid-friendly search engine and that’s how I came across Kidipede.
Here are a few more history sites to enjoy:
Thinking Things by Snaith Primary there are so many fun & useful things here
Walk Through Time interactive timeline & games, printable activities
History on the Net printable worksheets
