Connections and Gratitude, Edition Jan 25, 2017

January 25, 2017 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

 
Connections

Counting Pinecones: Finish Line.    Just liked this post.  Bite sized goals are attainable, even in homeschooling.

When you Don’t have a math Plan.   This post stimulated my thinking with my boy for math.  Though we are starting a new math program soon…perhaps this will work for the lad well…

Amazing Grace.   Learning the difference between grace and goodwill. 

2 Tim 3:16-17. A reminder of what scripture is good for.

I homeschool so they can be bored.   Boredom is good for you, you know?

Gratitude

1. Subway restaurants… what can I say.   One night I was tired from not sleeping, headachy and not wanting to even think of putting food together, everything seemed far to hard to think about, had to drop a boy off at a youth event and Subway restaurants was right there … making sandwiches…people were fed.  It was a GOOD thing.  ๐Ÿ™‚

2. Washing machines capable of washing all my pants at one time (especially when one realizes that one has FORGOTTEN to do laundry in the busyness of other life).  SO YEAH!!!   All my pants clean.. I have something to wear tomorrow .. WOOT WOOT!  ๐Ÿ™‚

3. A boy child.  Seriously…this lad makes laugh.   I HAVE to show you this:   And it really wasn’t a sad sad thing… we had fun and laughed a lot

4.   Cuddle Blankets.
        When you have a fellow who isn’t sleeping well so can’t keep himself warm.. cuddle blankets are the very essence of blessing.

 5. Colour on dreary days
       Guess what bloomed!  My Amaryllis!!!!!

January 11th edition of Connections and Thankfulness

January 11, 2017 By Annette1 8 Comments

Starting a new thing, not sure how often it will run, probably bi-weekly.   Showing some posts I liked during the past week or two, along with listing moments of gratitude.

Connections with Others

1. UsSchooling.  I love the tone and the thought in this blog post.   Instead of calling your style eclectic… call it US schooling.  

2. Friday Boxes. I used to, with my lad, write down one thing we were thankful for every day.  Became part of our routine but sometimes it was hard to come up with something.  I really like this idea of writing down one good thing (or more) of each week on a slip of paper, saving them and then reading them out at the end of the year.   I think we’ll start doing this.  Will be lovely to do I think.  ๐Ÿ™‚

3. Making a Change.  I liked this post of Lori’s…I love her flexibility in how each of her children operates best.   Made a lot of sense to me it did.  ๐Ÿ™‚

4. Is reading Hereditary.  I just thought this was an interesting question to ask.

5. Loving Languages Every Day.   I just liked this post.   Just keeping reading eh?

Moments of Gratitude
1. “Mom, can I help you with anything?”   I love hearing those words from my boy.  or even better “Mom, is it okay if I vaccuum?  Mom, can I sweep the floor”?   Why do I love that more?   It means I don’t have to think of some way to honour his words, he’s come up with the idea on his own.  ๐Ÿ™‚

2. Snow and Cold.   I know it’s odd.. but snow and cold mean health.  Means germs die.  Means no funerals or extra meals.  Means nothing is fretting people wise.

3. Clothing and it’s options.   The fun of watching my boy run around in the snow… with SHORTS on!!!   Makes me smile and shake my head and be glad that everyone has been created differently.  AND it creates conversation starters with other people… like the fellow at the foodbank asking “what’s with the shorts?” and the lad talking with him about how he loves shorts and loves the cold because it means he isn’t hot.

4. A talkative husband.  Oh my… it’s so interesting seeing the stress start to roll off his back and he talking it seems all the time.  I’m having a bit of time adjusting to that.  It’s just so very odd.  I like it, but it’s a bit of an adjustment.
