I love when he reads to me ❤️ Full honesty teaching them to read is the scariest thing for me. I measure my success as a mother by this ruler way to often. Even after a decade of homeschooling it lingers deep down. I know better and am quicker to remind myself of the truth that they will learn, it will happen. And if they learn to be kind to know who God made them to be, to be communicators and protectors of what's right, then I have done my job. When I stand before God, He won't ask if they read early or knew all their sight words by 1st grade (and there si nothing wrong with that)... He will ask about the stewardship of their childhood and if I pointed them to Him. THAT'S my job. ❤️

Every year as spring weather gets warmer, all our lower swampy areas of the property are drying up and that means all the tadpoles won't make it to frogs. My son takes advantage of the harvest and fills our kiddie pool with as many tadpoles as he can save. So reading is done outside because, in his words... "it's tadpole season" 🐸

Moving through our eastern hemisphere study we've landed in southeast Asia. One of my favorite foods just so happens to be lumpia! It was so fun to get together with our friends and make this philipino dish together. We had fun laughing while we all chopped veggies and rolled each lumpia. I think in studying other cultures together it's this part that is universal... The gathering, the joy of being with each other, breaking bread (or rolling lumpia), it's always about our universal need for family that God hides in our hearts. I love getting to experience this with my kids ❤️ What are you studying this week??

In January we had to say goodbye to our dog Roxy. She had been with us for 14 years. It's crazy when you realize just how much their presence was woven into the fabric of your family, and the relationship God gave us with the rest of His creation. After a few months, we were ready to welcome a new family member. This is Maci ❤️. Her favorites are sleeping on any available family member, chasing anything we throw for her and sleeping on any available family member 😴🐶💗
