Years ago (at least 8) I was teaching the creation to the Primary children and came up with these two activities. The first is a basic wheel that spins to show what was created on each day. Just cut out each wheel, have your child color the pictures as you discuss the order of the […]
An Easter Countdown: The Birth of Jesus Christ
Our activity for day one was very low-stress. Because we do so many crafts around Christmastime based on the Nativity etc, I decided to do an art study with the painting by Gerard Van Honthorst. We talked about the painting, where your eyes are naturally drawn to because of the use of light, and the […]

Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole
When I lived in Georgia my favorite restaurant to eat at was the Cracker Barrel.

Home Making Post Quandary
How to teach our children – Gardening? Cleaning? Cooking? Hospitality? Sewing? As you can see I am in a bit of a quandary trying to decide what to center my home making posts on. I have ideas to share about each but you know how it can be sometimes with too many choices. It’s too […]
Fun on the farm in spring
Ah, spring! The weather is cold and snowy one day and gloriously sunny and warm the next, only to have it turn windy and cool again. This week we took advantage of all types of weather. On Tuesday the kids talked Mr. Ferrero Rocher into giving them a ride on the grade-all. It goes up […]
The Law of True Marriage
“Wherever,” says Gail Hamilton, “man pays reverence to woman – wherever any man feels the influence of woman purifying, chastening, abashing, strengthening him against temptation, shielding him from evil, ministering to his self respect, medicining his weariness, peopling his solitude, winning him from sordid prizes, enlivening his monotonous days with mirth or fancy or wit, […]

Favorite Household Chores
It was so much fun to read what people’s favorite chores are to do! There was basically a tie for Cooking/Meal Prep, Laundry, and Cleaning Floors (sweep/mop/vaccum). I have to say my favorite chore to do is laundry, especially when I can hang the clothes on the line to dry. And with the size of […]
