Log onto their FB page and "LIKE", you will get a free apron, if you share on your blog about the freebie, they will throw in a few extra freebies. The origional link for the freebie came frome 2Dynamic Moms Blog. I have their button, so check them out. If you are a homeschool family, I am sure you have heard of this blog. They are an absolutely fabulous homeschool blog with a plethra of info, printables, and insight. If you link to them through this blog, please tell them happyhomeschoolroom.blogspot.com sent you.
I am working diligently to make myself a blog button, as I can't afford to pay someone. As you have read previously, or if you are a 1st timer here, I am extremely TECHNO CHALLENGED. HTML is my nemesis, I have been trying for just about 2 months to figure out a simple blog button.Not so simple for me. I have added other features to my blog, but a button has just not been in the cards for me thus far. I am beyond frustrated over it, and am beginning to question my intelligance. If anyone has any words of wisdom for me, I'm all ears.
This is something I absolutely have to accomplish and soon, I really am wanting to connect, network and grow my blog. Without a blog button to link up with other blogs, that goal will not happen. Anyway, I digress....again. This is all about the FREEBIE!!!
God Bless,
Kimmie

Is This part of God's Plan for me?
7/04/12
Well it has been longer than I wanted since my last post. I had planned doing a 30 day challenge for the month of July, but life happens and I wasn't able to start my 30 day challenge. My hopes in doing a 30 day challenge are so I can build my skills, thus developing, growing and expanding my blog. I think one of my biggest challenges is figuring out the whole beautiful blogging experience is figuring out the dreaded "HTML".
Now I'm not sure if in all my researching on how to build a better blog I have scared myself on trying to figure out html. I do know I have spent the last few month beating my head against the edge of my desk, scared my family out of the room, and made the dogs want to run and hide, all over my new nemesis, "HTML". Really. it's that bad. Maybe this isn't one of my paths God has chosen for me. Maybe I'm not intended to entertain, educate, inform , or just simply work through my emotions about being a homeschooling mama to 5 kids and Grandma,a.k.a. Mimi. (In honor of one of my Aunts) to my granddaughter Kaya Rose,2 1/2.
Even though I have limited computer skills, I consider myself a fairly intelligent person. So why can't I read and follow simply laid out instructions, instructions given by another homeschooling mom. I really do enjoy this, and I have loads of ideas, I even want to start a second blog in relation to my third passion after kids,and Hubby, God.So not only do I want to grow this blog for our homeschooling community, I also have a passion for crafting, and that is another part of my life I want to open up to and share with the world.
I'm starting to gather supplies, and begin picture tutorials for the projects I am working on at the moment. A little of which I'll tell you about. I love working with paper, I even like making paper. Right now I am working on making my first Art Junk Journal. I'm also making a really cool junk journal for a girl from Gidget's dance class that is going off to college. I started that one out of cereal boxes. It's almost done and I'll share with you all.. Hopefully if keeps moving in the direction I want it to, it will be awesome.
As for the Art Journaling, I can't draw, but love doodling, and wow how different adult doodling is compared to my high school doodles. I'm no wheres near what I am seeing by these gifted artists on other blogs, but I have been honing my old skills and adding new ones. My goal is to do whimsy with doodles. I love that look. I'd like to start a small business with it in the future.
None of it will ever go places or will people get to know who I am. People need to know me if I ever want to accomplish any of these goals.
Reading that last paragraph back sounds so arrogant in a way. It is true other bloggers will need to know me in the blogging circles I frequent, I guess I'm just afraid that I will never reach that goal. It makes me feel like I'm Liver. Who wants liver when they can have steak or chicken or pasta??? I know it's a process, I just hope I can reach my goal before the total frustration and aggravation win out.
I'd love to have a designer revamp my blog and then give me a mini tutorial on how to use all their wonderful work they have created for me. Essencially bringing my dreams to fruition. Unfortunately, unless I win the powerball, I will never experience that dream. Being on disability doen't leave extra money for things like blog redevelopement.
So instead I will start by doing a 30 day challenge. Something to help build my skills. Being we are 4 days into the month, it will have to wait until next month. So I will spend the rest of this month promising at least 2-3 post a week. Maybe some of you have some suggestions for a 30 day challenge. I'm all ears. Throw em' at me.
Well I hope you all had a safe and Blessed independence Day. Chat soon. I'll be looking for your suggestions.
God Bless America,
Kimmie

Homeschooling in Ten Easy Questions
6/27/12
One of my favorite blogs, for many reasons is; Jimmie'sCollage. I was reading a post on her blog where she answered several questions about homeschooling. She invited her readers to copy the questions and answer them so that's what I did. This is the link, http://jimmiescollage.com/2011/09/homeschooling-in-ten-easy-questions/.
I invite you to do the same. Here are the questions and my answers.
1.One homeschooling book you have enjoyed?
-Cathy Duffy's top 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum
2. One source you wouldn't be without?
-My notebook and favorite pen. I keep it right at my computer desk to write down websites, blogs, PDF downloads(so I know what I have), ideas, usernames & passwords, email inquiries, etc. I have found that homeschooling = lots of need to know stuff. My notebook helps me keep it all straight and at my finger tips.
3.One resource you wish you didn't buy?
- Real Science4kids. Too expensive for what you get. Not "FAT" enough.
4. One resource you enjoyed last year?
- Notebooking/Lapbooking
5. One resource you'll be using next year?
-Notebooking/Lapbooking; I LOVE LOVE LOVE these methods. So does my dd. She'll use them until she goes to college. I think everyone should use these methods. It should be LAW!!! ...just saying...
6. One resource you'd like to buy?
-A cricuit. We could make amazing Notebooks and Lapbooks. (it would be useful for all my crafting too)
7. One resource you wish existed?
-Curriculum scholarships for homeschool families. Most of us are single income families, and curriculum can get very expensive.
8. One homeschool catalog you enjoy reading?
- I like Rainbow Resources. It is loaded with a variety of curriculums.(their website is pretty awesome too)
9. Most frustrating homeschool subject?
-MATH!!!! Not my best subject, and my dd is not a huge fan either.
10. Greatest homeschool challenge right now?
- SPACE; I have no space, we have no storage space either. I wish I had a whole room I could dedicate to homeschooling. My dd can't even use her room because all her extra space is occupied by her 8'x8' dance floor. ( A must for Irish dancers).
So there are my answers. Please leave a few of yours in the comment area, and then copy the questions and post on your blog. Thanks for stopping by.
God Bless,
Kimmie
A MIRACLE for Jack
A few weeks ago I wrote about a young man named Jack. I asked you all to include him in your prayers, to ask your Bible groups, prayer groups and your churches to keep Jack and his family in your prayers so that Jack could make a speedy recovery.
What is ahead: It's not being called remission, yet. The doctors still need to test Jack's bone marrow, and want to wait until July to do that. In the meantime, Jack will continue with his 8-cycle CURE treatment plan. This morning, he went into the hospital to begin CURE treatment #4 for four days. And those drugs are gonna kick that cancer out before it ever tries to get back in!!
Jack today starting his 4th CURE treatment, after hearing the good news of the PET Scan
Well I'd thought you would like to have an update on Jack. The next couple of paragraphs are pasted and copied from http://www.lovemylittleflower.blogspot.com.

A Miracle for Jack and a thanksgiving novena
Praise God from Whom All Blessings flow !!!
Today, Jack and his family got miraculous news: the results of Jack's June 15th PET scan. His doctors told him that there is no evidence of any cancer in any part of his body which can be detected by a PET Scan. What is left to be tested is Jack's bone marrow, to see if there is any cancer remaining there. We (Jack and his family) consider the disappearance of the cancer to be a miracle !!!
Jack was diagnosed with cancer in early April. It was found in several areas and organs of his body. Today, after having undergone three CURE treatments, he is free of cancer in all parts of the body in which cancer can be detected with the PET Scan test. How can it be anything other than a miracle. We know, through our faith in the Risen Jesus and our trust in His Divine Mercy, that the answer is it cannot be anything other than a miracle. We offer our prayers of thanksgiving to Our Lord, and the Saints who have been interceding for us. And to all of you who have been praying for Jack's healing.
We (Jack and his family) consider the disappearance of the cancer to be a miracle !!!

Jack today starting his 4th CURE treatment, after hearing the good news of the PET Scan
When Jack goes in for the fifth cycle in July, he will have the bone marrow test, and we'll pray a special novena for a good result on that test!! If the bone marrow test comes out clean, Jack will undergo three more CURE treatment cycles after that to be sure that the last vestige of that ugly cancer is gone from his body.
Jack and his sister home for Father's Day
The doctors did say they have indeed seen (((miraculous))) results such as Jack's -- so the docs would likely not call Jack's PET Scan result a miracle. But that's quite alright. We know that God works in situations and through people, and in response to prayers, in ways that we could never contemplate. And we trust in The Great Physician and His Divine Mercy. We believe that the result today was in God's hands, all along. And that Jack remains in God's hands.
So, for this next novena, I ask that you pray with me and Jack and his family and all of us together in thanksgiving for this miracle of Jack's cancer-free PET Scan result. The novena is below and also on my right sidebar. PLEASE join us in our novena prayer of thanksgiving attached, once daily beginning today for the next nine days. Sorry this post is so late tonight. If you don't read it until tomorrow, you can begin tomorrow and just pray through June 27 instead of June 26.
My request for your generosity of prayers is not over yet. Jack relies on all of your continued prayers to see him through to the day he is cancer free !!!!! Let's join together and sing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v8kHKX61fg
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise!
Give thanks to him, bless His name!
For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever,
And His faithfulness, to all generations.
Psalm 100
And His courts with praise!
Give thanks to him, bless His name!
For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever,
And His faithfulness, to all generations.

Novena In Gratitude for God's Blessings and Answered Prayers June 18-June 26
O Lord and Vivifier, Your grace has achieved for us all that You had spoken and promised. Grant us access to the place of Your peace. For You are our Vivifier, You are our Consoler, You are our life Remedy, You are our Standard of victory. Blessed are we, O Lord, because we have known You! Blessed are we, because we have believed in You! Blessed are we, because we bear Your wounds and the sign of Your blood on our countenances! Blessed are we, because You are our great hope! Blessed are we, because You are our God forever! Lord, I give You thanks for dying on the cross for our sins.
O God, our Great Physician, Dear Divine mercy, and Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we offer praise and thanksgiving to You for favors granted and prayers answered, especially those obtained through the intercessions of St. Peregrine, St. Jude, Blessed John Paul II, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary who have faithfully and generously brought our petitions before You; for Your healing hand on your servant, Jack. He has had a very good PET scan result and his doctors have said there is no evidence of any cancer in any part of his body which can be detected by the PET Scan. We know this result is solely due to You and your gracious granting of the petitions of all those who prayed for Jack’s healing and recovery. We praise You and glorify You for your miracle. We know that a good bone marrow biopsy for Jack will require another miracle from You, Lord, and we continue to pray that Jack will have a good bone marrow test result, and he will be in remission and eventually be fully cured of the cancer that has invaded his body. We ask You to keep Your healing hand on Jack and bring him through these treatments with minimal side effects and allow him the blessing of more answered prayers for a good bone marrow test. Please help Jack and all of us continually to see the workings of Your grace and blessing in his life and all of our lives, and to strive always to live by the example of your Son, Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints of heaven, especially those for whose intercession we have prayed. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
I think I can speak for us all when I our God is AMAZING!!!! It is a huge testament to the power of PRAYER, and having FAITH in GOD. Please stop by lovemylittleflower and extend good wishes to Jack and his family.
Hoping this finds you and yours well.
God Bless,
Kimmie

Being the wiser....
6/20/12
Wow as usual I find the time is flying by. My mom told me after 25 time becomes a blurr. Mom's are wise. How is it growing up we thought we were the wiser, HA!! I wasn't so smart back then, but shhhh, don't tell my younger self that, she might just start an argument about how smart she really is. I sure wish I had my smarter younger self who knew it all to help the older wiser me who is realizing how much I really don't know at this moment.
For instance, I started this blog 4 months or so ago, or at least got more serious about it, I set out to share my life, and that of my family life. To share my love of homeschooling, crafting, and whatever the hot topic of the moment is. I set out in hopes to write and to inspire others or even inspire just one person if that happens to be the case. My wise mom also said not everyone may care for what you have to say, but if you reach one person you're blessed. Now my younger self could have whipped up one fun topic after another. I thought that girl would be around forever. Parts of her are still burning inside.
I have been trying so hard for the last few months to make a blog button for my blog, I so want to grow mt blog, to be a part of this beautiful community of moms reaching out to other moms, to inspire them, to share wonderful homeschool worksheets, and curriculum tips, great recipes, and so on. I am struggling trying to figure how to have a user friendly blog. I want to be that wise mom, I want to be the wise mom amongst other wise women, sharing useful information, making a difference in the lives of others.
Since I started blogging I have come to admire many wonderful, funny, bright, smart, intelligent women. The older wiser me wants to be that woman, the one admired for her useful tips, her great curriculum tips, her free printables. I'm getting too far ahead, I still need to figure out a blog button. I even found easy step by step instructions on http://www.cornerstoneconfessions.blogspot.com, which might I add, is a wonderfully informative blog, with a homeschooling mom whose homeschool has an amazing mission in which they live by, I was very impressed. Anyway, even with these instructions I still find myself techno challenged.
Where is the cocky know it all younger me when I need her???? I think she is still at a Stevie Ray Vaughn music Festival. Oh well, hopefully I'll get this whole blogging thing down eventually. The older wiser me can only hope, because without hope what is the point?
God Bless,
Kimmie

Prayers for Jack(http://lovemylittleflower.blogspot.com)
6/14/12
I follow a blog called "My Little Flower" @ http://lovemylittleflower.blogspot.com. "My Little Flower" is related to St. Therese of Lisieux. St. Therese went to great lengths to join the Carmelites and serve God. St.Therese had a great and selfless love for our Heavenly Father. She even on a pilmigrage to Rome had an audience with Pope Leo XIII and implored him to allow her to enter the Carmelites. She was only 15. All she wanted was to serve God. Therese ultimately got what she wanted and was allowed enterance into the Carmelites. She had her "little ways" in which she showed her love for God. This is how she became known as "the little flower". With that very brief description of St. Therese, and not as detailed as I would like, but I needed for there to be a bit of backround.
So the blog "lovemylittleflower" is written by a women who like me shares a great love for St. Therese of Lisieux. She and her family are also coming together in love and prayer for their family memeber Jack who is suffering from Lymphoma. So I have copied and am going to paste the Novena that has been put on the Little Flower Blog. I do not know this family, but I myself am a survivor of Lymph Cancer. I know what this young man Jack is facing and the struggles of the treatments which can be very painful and leave you feeling very ill. So I ask that for anyone who reads this post to please share with everyone you know. I ask that we all pray for Jack and his recovery. Please ask your prayer groups, your churches to include this young man in your prayers, and so many others like him who are battling life threatening illness's. Thank you to all for helping pray for this young man.

The Fork in the Road
6/08/12
Hi folks, how are you doing on this fine day? Today the sun is shining,the birds are singing, and I am grinning ear to ear. My son Jacob will Graduate from High School tomorrow. Now for any parent who is in my shoes whether it is their first child getting ready to take the first step in their journey toward being an independent young adult, or they like me, have experienced the overwhelming sadness and joy of watching their child walk toward toward the "Fork in the Road".
Now the emotions of sadness, this emotion is seeing your child, that seems like only yesterday, just started on his/her path of education. The path of knowing how to gain a knowledge of Math so he/she may be able to get a job and know how to properly use his/her money. The path of English and Vocabulary, so that he/she may be able to speak properly in an interview for getting into the college of their choice, or that first job, so they can properly articulate their wants, their goals. The path of Reading, Penmenship, and Grammar, so that they may understand an application and be able to write the answer in proper sentences and have it be legible to those who have to read what they wrote. Lastly, and foremost, the path to God. Without taking this path do I think could any of the other paths have been accomplished. For it is with God all things can be accomplished.
The Joy is seeing your child having worked hard, studied hard, and prayed hard, and to have overcome the many hurdles to reach their goals and dreams, to say " I Did It" !!!!!! To put on that Cap & Gown and walk away from their childhood toward the "Fork in the Road" as a young adult.
Now some students will go on to University, some will start out at Community College first, some may join the Service, some may go to Technical School, or some may choose to go to a School of Theology, the "Forks" are many. Regardless of which "Fork" our Sons or Daughters may choose, we need to reiterate that, as long as they continue to carry God in their heart, in their thoughts and in their actions, God will protect them, God will support them, God will never abandon them.
So again, it is with great sadness that they are no longer a child, but it is with great joy they have grown into fine young adults that we proudly see our children now choose for themselves their "Fork in the Road".
I am so very PROUD of my son. I'm proud of all the Sons and Daughters who are Graduating. God Speed to all.
At one time you were not God’s people. But now you are God’s people. At one time you did not know God’s kindness. Now you do.”

1 Peter 2: 9-10
“But you are a chosen people. You are priests to your king. You are a holy nation. You are God’s very own people. All this is so that you will tell how good he is. He called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.At one time you were not God’s people. But now you are God’s people. At one time you did not know God’s kindness. Now you do.”
 |
| My son Jacob, we are so very proud of the young man you have become. Choose your fork wisely, Keep God in your heart and you will do great things. |
