Outside the Lines: Preschool Expectations
http://homeschooloutsidethelines.blogspot.com/2012/09/preschool-expectations.html
The unedited tales of a mother trying to balance a husband, a toddler, two young daughters, housework, and homeschooling. Friday, September 21, 2012. I don’t have too many expectations for preschool. I don’t do flashcards or thick workbooks. I want to be careful not to kill the joy of learning by forcing my little man to sit at desks for hours listening to me lecture. In my opinion, that is not what preschool is about. That isn’t to say we avoid learning. I named the object that they saw. He learned to c...

Living Amidst Boys!: Review-Piecing Together the High School Puzzle
http://grace4threeboys.blogspot.com/2008/06/review-piecing-together-high-school.html
Saturday, June 07, 2008. Review-Piecing Together the High School Puzzle. By my friend Joanne Mastrioncola to get an idea of what is going to be required. This book is intended to be specific to Florida high school students, which is OK with me. It walks you through the different high school plans, how to keep records, where to find more information, and even what fun things are available for high school seniors (Didn't know that homeschool seniors could go to grad night! After reading this book, I don't ...

http://grace4threeboys.blogspot.com/2012/01/we-know-how-to-look.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. To Know Is Not Enough. We know how to look. We must learn how to see. We know how to hear. We must learn how to listen. We know how to touch. We must learn how to feel. We know how to taste. We must learn how to savor. We know how to think. We must learn how to reason. We know how to talk. We must learn how to converse. We know how to do. We must learn how to serve. We know how to say thank you. We must learn how to be grateful. More glimpses of grace gifts. 157 all three of u...

Living Amidst Boys!: No Matter How, Just Count Them!
http://grace4threeboys.blogspot.com/2012/01/no-matter-how-just-count-them.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. No Matter How, Just Count Them! Still on my soapbox of counting blessings- those grace gifts all around us that come down from our Father of Lights, in whom there is no variation or shifting shadow! Because it adjusts our focus to what God IS doing, instead of what He isn't. Because it reminds us of how much we have, even when we don't have much. Because it makes you smile. Because it changes our hearts from the inside, to the outside. Because it brings strength, peace, and hope.

Living Amidst Boys!: Forgiveness and To the Other Woman
http://grace4threeboys.blogspot.com/2012/04/forgiveness-and-to-other-woman.html
Thursday, April 19, 2012. Forgiveness and To the Other Woman. It's not me. I know that. There are so many things about me that I hide from people - so many places where my sin overwhelms the developing reflection of my Lord. But to be reminded that there are those places where some people know and see the grace and love I've known in my Jesus . I'm so thrilled that I am growing in those places enough for it to show. How to I tell her that the plant only grows thick and full if I trim back the overgrowth?

Saturday, January 07, 2012. Taking the Joy Dare! This year, I'm trying to change my year . my choices . myself . by changing my focus. I'm convinced that overcoming depression, anxiety, fear, and so on occurs by cultivating gratitude. So I'm taking the Joy Dare. A NEW year filled with hope. Enjoying worship together with all three of my boys. Favorite old movies filled with memories and emotions. Hearing God's voice in sermons and scripture. A beautiful, warm, sunny first day of the year. A lazy day AND.

Living Amidst Boys!: The 4 Minute Mothering Habit
http://grace4threeboys.blogspot.com/2012/01/4-minute-mothering-habit.html
Wednesday, January 11, 2012. The 4 Minute Mothering Habit. Again, I'm reminded, and I wonder: When will I be over it? When will I forget? When will my scarlet D be removed? Again I tell myself: Never. It is a part of who I am - a part of the story that God has written into my life, and God never uses erasers on our story. I am divorced. I don't have a husband or a marriage. For now, that's not a part of the adventure God has written for me. I go through all this emotion while reading a favorite blog.
