The Homeschool Village’s Garden Challenge Update!

The Homeschool Village’s Garden Challenge Update!

I am really behind on updating about our garden. I had planned on joining in with the Homeschool Village Garden Challenge. As you can see, I am 2 weeks late. Better late than never, right?

We use mostly big pots to plant our veggies in. We also have a little bit of space around the edge of our house. Just recently, my husband built a box that we have a few plants in. I don’t have a picture of it right now.
We have planted 5 different types of bell peppers, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.

We have also planted around 8 different types of tomatoes.

I also planted some okra, eggplant, squash and zucchini.  I am really excited about those veggies.  My kids and husband don’t like them, but I love to make a little veggie medley out of the veggies.  I am hoping the vegetables do well this year.  I would love to freeze some for the winter months.

We have also planted cucumbers, candy roasters, chives, onions and garlic.

I don’t have it pictures, but I even have 1 strawberry plant.  Not for sure if it will produce any fruit this year, but I am hoping it will at least give me one strawberry!

I am really excited about all the vegetables we have planted this year.  While I know I listed a lot of veggies, I am sure that is not all of them.  I plan on making a list of everything and hopefully get more pictures soon of each type of vegetable, fruit and herb we have planted.

My mouth is already watering, just thinking about what we will be eating in a month or so!

iFellowship Day – Psalm 62:1

iFellowship Day – Psalm 62:1

iFellowship

It has been too long since I have taken part in an iFellowship day. I made a commitment to Seeds of Faith by writing for them once a month and I feel like I have let them down by not even participating in the past few weeks of iFellowships. I am going to do my best to change that and continue to participate in this wonderful day.

I had started using iFellowship day, as a day to share a scripture that has touched or spoken to me the previous week. I am going to continue to do this and was so excited about my scripture for the week.


Psalm 62

My Soul Waits for God Alone

1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.

My soul belongs to God and Him alone. Know matter what, He is all I need.

Be sure to stop by and visit Seeds of Faith. You will enjoy reading the other blogs as I have.

Blessings!

Yes, It Has Been A While

Yes, It Has Been A While

Yes, it has been a while since I have posted. Life has just gotten in the way. The moment when I thought I was going to be able to make time to blog, something else happens and blogging has to take a back burner. However, things seem to be calming down at the moment. So, I am hoping to start posting more than once every 2 weeks. I have missed my Blessings post, iFellowship as well as Homeschool Mother’s Journal.

So just what have we been up to? School! Yes, we have been doing a lot of school work. I have finally found a phonics program that is working for my 2 younger kids. They actually wake up and want to do school now! That is a *HUGE* improvement for us. I am working on a review for the phonics program that we are using.

My oldest daughter was a Cheshire Cat in the musical “Alice in Wonderland”. She had a blast in the musical. She is now busy preparing for the dance recital that is at the end of the month. Sarah has been busy with her school work as well. She has just completed one math book and has started the next grade level. We are just loving Teaching Textbooks!

Our oldest son has been busy with school and with his part time job. He will be graduating this year. Where has the time gone? So hard to believe that I have a child old enough to be graduating from high school! He is also finishing up his A.S. Degree of Electrical Engineering Technology.

As you can see, the kids are keeping us busy. I wouldn’t have it any other way. God blessed us with our four wonderful kids and I love being able to spend so much time with them!

I have been busy with many little projects. Most importantly, my house! I have been cleaning and purging all of the rooms. I have been able to bless the thrift store with many bags of clothing, toys and other odds and ends. I have also helped with a used curriculum sale that our homeschool group hosted. I helped with a mom’s night out and homeschool information session evening. I was also able to attend a Chonda Peirce Concert. It was hilarious! Then for fun, I am taking part in a mom’s book club!

As you can tell, a lot has happened and I didn’t even mention all of the drama! However, things seem to be slowing down a little and for that I am thankful for. I am hoping it will give me more time to write and share about what I have swirling in the crazy head of mine.

Thanks for being patient with me and my writing!

Blessings!
