Daily Readings for Daughters!

We found this book and it is part of our daily reading. Young girls need to be guided daily to live in the light of God. We should present ourselves in His light. As we look around at the clothes in stores and then look at what we should be doing well thats tough. I love that this book is teaching Hailey that these are the directions she should look to see herself as pretty and not that the other things out there are what make her pretty. She loves it and feels good by hearing this each day.

I love that my daughter is growing up looking to God to guide her. This is not a direction I had growing up.

The other Daily Reading is a little butterfly told me by the brave girls. Reading these to her every morning make my heart warm. They are amazing, enlightening and guide her to love herself and feel good about everything she is. When Hailey went to public school kids were kids, Hailey felt like she had no friends. Even the one girl she called her good friend treated her bad. Was mean and hurtful daily to her. As a momma bear I was not happy. But when I found this blog I knew this was great!! Since she is now home-schooled she is not having the hurtful days but as we all know life has a way of showing these hurtful things randomly so I want her prepared for them. So check it out and share these with your little girls! It will mean the world to them as they grow up.

I have wrote on Hailey's bathroom mirror and then her dad & I also made a dry erase board with all these saying for Hailey & I to read everyday. Some of the sayings say.

You are so totally worth it!

Don't let the world change you, your beautiful!!

You are such a beautiful blessing!


So just remember to share with your girls today how much God & you love them!!! Its worth everything!!!!

In Need of Writing Ideas!

So this last few weeks Hailey has decided she no longer wants to write. I have tried copywork, I have tried create a sentence, write a story with sentence starters. I am ready to pull my hair out. She will cry, throw a fit and just sit there refusing to write. I finally found a Story Scrambler and tonight after going through the fit & refusing she finally started writing. So hoping we will get back on track. If any of you have any other ideas I would love them!

Time 4 Learning

Well Hailey has been working with Time 4 Learning for a month now. She loves it. She refers to the animals as her friends. She tells me about what she is learning. She still likes ABC learning more then Math. I think it will take us longer to find a love for math again if we ever do but she likes Time for Learning lots better then standard math. So I am happy with that.

She loves the fact to that after she has done her lessons for the day she gets to go to the play ground and that is where she can use internet games for more learning. Lets not tell her its still learning time ;-). But she loves it. Wakes up many days asking if she can do her work. If you ask me this is a darn good learning system if the child is asking to do their work.

I am so happy as a mom new to home schooling to have found this option. And its not just for homeschooling, I could use it with my son for just extra learning or review during the summer months. How great is that! It also has quizzes & test. It logs time spent on each subject and time spent on the section in each subject. It keeps a daily long. This way I can go back review what she needs more help with or what she has done well with.

Right now as she is doing her math its great as she is talking to her friends on the computer to answer them. Warms my heart that she is learning with fun!

We will be continuing this program for sure. We hope that you find this program as helpful. If you do join please share my name as to I get a credit for sharing.
