I missed last week linking up with The Homeschool Mother’s Journal. Honestly I can’t remember why I even missed it. I just didn’t think about writing about her week. I enjoy doing this though. It gives me a good look at our week about what all we have accomplished or did not accomplish. Stop by iHomeschool Network and see all the others who have linked up!

In my life this week…
I had a pretty full week this past week. Started off the week by taking the kids to the Denver Zoo. (post will be coming soon). On Tuesday, we found where we needed to vote. While I am disappointed in the way the election turned out, I know God is still in control and as long as we keep our eyes on him, God will take care of our family. I am also helping with social media for the Teaching Creation Thursdays at Creation Conversations.

In our homeschool this week…
We had a great week in schooling. My youngest son finished his math workbook and has started the next grade level. We are learning a lot in MOH and did a cool project in our Apologia Astronomy book. (Post on that coming soon). My oldest is participating in the NaNoWriMo project for the month of November. The younger kids are doing great with their reading. I am very pleased with how our school year is going. I feel like we are accomplishing a lot.

Do not be afraid to ask for help. I have a hard time with that one, but there are some days that I just have to ask for help.

I am inspired by…
I love this question. Since I have begin blogging, I have had so many ladies to inspire me not only with blogging, but with homeschool and even with my faith. One of those ladies is Rebecca from Mom’s Mustard Seeds. She is a sweetheart and a true woman of God. While I have never met her in real life, I feel like I have known her forever. I can’t wait until I am able to hug her neck.

I am grateful for my husband’s job that he has at Colorado School of Mines. It is the reason why we made the cross country move and I know God provided it for him.

I am praying for our nation. I am concerned about the future of our nation with the re-election of the President. I am also praying for the other leaders that are in office. I just keep telling myself that God is in control and as long as our family keeps our eyes on Him we will be okay.

We went on a field trip to the Denver Zoo this past Monday. Our neighbor who homeschools her boy, went with us. We had an amazing time! We can’t wait to go back!
