Freely Educate Homeschool Resource

If you don't already know about this site, I highly encourage you to visit Lori at one of her blogs, Freely Educate.  She has some fantastic finds and what a blessing she is to the homeschool community (or any one else who visits her site).

I also encourage you to visit her other sites and click on some of her links to help support the great work she is doing.  I recently followed one of her posts about a free bird kit to order for our homeschool coop and also for my son.  We were just working on some bird stuff and this came at just the right time.  Her most recent post has to do with a free online typing course for older children.  Hop on over to her blog and enjoy!!

Distractions and Redirection

Here I am again, and haven't blogged for a while.  The boys were keeping us pretty busy.  Had a lot happen over the weekend.  I will share more later this week as there are still some things potentially in progress that may change the direction of our week.

I don't know about the weather where some of you are, but here Spring has truly ushered in.  The birds are in abundance and a joy to watch and listen to. The daffodils are up and the warm breezes have begun.  I love this time of the year even more than those nice pleasant cool autumn days.  New life is beginning everywhere and it reminds us to step back, take a breath, and bask in God's glory and creation. I haven't started any of my garden stuff yet, so will hopefully get something accomplished soon!

I have had so much that I have wanted to share.  Perhaps I can do some catching up this week.  I have some new friends that I have been so excited to meet from various blog hops.  Thank you to those of you who take the time to do this.  What a wonderful way to connect with one another and meet new friends.

I have decided to hook up with several different affiliate programs that I have been pleased to learn about.  I will be sharing more about that later this week also.  I hope to do product reviews in the future, but one thing at a time.  I need to work on my regular blog posts first!

I will end this post with something that is on my heart right now. . .

² and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.  Ephesians 5:2 (NIV)
