I’ve been wanting to share this for weeks, but just now figured out how to post a YouTube video :-[
sparkly hannah day
Friday is Sparkly Hannah Day! Celebrate this sweet little girl whose life was cut short by a freak drowning accident. As a mother who lost a child, I know that one of the greatest fears is that your child will be forgotten as time goes by. Let her mom know that although we are strangers, we remember Hannah! Details are in her post on how to share your day. [HT to Kelli]
wfmw – chore helpers
I want to pass along a few handy chore sites I’ve come across. Chart Jungle is the only one I’ve used, but the other two look fun.
PAYjr. has a printable chore chart, online calendars, and keeps track of chores done & money owed if you combine chores & allowance.
My sister found Chore Wars. Family members compete with each other to finish chores, create a character & play an online game.
Chart Jungle is a site I’ve used for a long time – it’s especially good for young helpers. She has a chart for everything imaginable, and even a template for chore bucks. Join her mailing list & you will get an email whenever a new chart is posted.
Run on over to Rocks In My Dryer for some really great links!
Tips I want to remember:
sunday seven blessings
~~I reconnected with an old friend and spiritual mentor this week. I was doing a search for something completely unrelated and the first entry was for his new blog. He was my teacher in the Bible Missions program I entered 17 years ago and brought Jesus out of the pages of my Bible & into my life. I will be eternally thankful for you RB!
~~Through his blog I found several other friends I haven’t seen in years. Love you Shellie!! And to everyone else, my internet provider is misbehaving & I can’t open your sites – I’m working on it!
~~All four of my kiddos came down with an upper respiratory virus last week. I’m thankful it didn’t turn into anything worse, and that they all four got sick at the same time!
~~The air is turning cooler & Fall is near!!
~~ My brother’s birthday is today – Happy Birthday Mark!!!
~~We had a Church Family meeting tonight to discuss a new building opportunity. I am so thankful to be part of a healthy, loving body.
~~Little Miss Sassyfrass is finally out of the pull-ups WOOHOO well, except for nighttime.
wfmw – blog for kids
I’ve been participating in Back to Homeschool Week so I thought I would share an idea I will be using for school this year. It is not an exclusive idea though, so keep reading even if you are not a homeschooler!
I set up a blog just for my kids to read. I put all of their favorite game links in the blogroll, plus lots of educational sites that I want them to explore. They will have computer time each afternoon and I have assigned different subjects for each day. After they choose a site to explore, they will have to leave me a comment telling me what they learned and any questions they might have. (sneaking in writing practice where they least expect it, Ha Ha Ha) They can also let me know of any projects they would like to do or subjects they would like to know more about. I will be posting sites that go along with our current studies, or just a little note to say Hi, I Love You.
I will be sharing Tons of FANTASTIC educational links like these in the next few weeks, so bookmark me & check back. They are great for homeschoolers or for homework helpers. I can’t share my kids’ blog with you because it is private, but I will share their assignments:
Monday – Math & Geography
Tuesday – Science & Animals/Bugs
Wednesday – Reading & Bible
Thursday – Health & History
Friday – Music & Art
