A reminder for all parents!


A Prayer for New Parents
by James Keller

O Lord, give us the wisdom ---
To deal with our children as You would,
To see in each of them Your Holy Image,
To develop in them a Christ-like love of all men, not only a select few,
To teach them to be go-givers rather than go-getters.
Oh God, in training these dear ones whom
Thou hast entrusted to our charge, help us ---
To encourage rather than discourage them,
To discipline with kindness not softness,
To guide them intelligently, not blindly,
To coach, not scold; to nudge, not nag.
Dear Lord, above all, help us ---
To use common sense in regard to their future,
To let them go gladly when the time comes,
To let them lead their own lives while following them with our love,
To pray always that they will be close to Thee,
not only for the few years of this life
but for the endless years of eternity.

Free Homeschool Planner

Found this for you all!! Hope you can use it!

Homeschool Scheduling with a Difference
Home >> Homeschool Scheduling >> Homeschool Planner
So, you have read everything you can about planning a homeschool schedule.
You have tried some planners - but they take too long and don't seem to work for you.

What now?



Planned Spontaneity helps you do just that - plan for spontaneity in your homeschool.

It is a homeschooling planner e-book with a difference - my approach is very simple, yet very effective.

If you feel like you have tried everything to make your homeschooling sessions fun and creative, then this is the planner for you. And best of all it's free!

It is time to try a planner with a difference.

Free Copywork information ebook


Just wanted to mention a free copywork/penmanship book available here. This little book gives some great comparisons of all of the different penmanship styles out there. If you are trying to decided which style you will use with your kiddos I suggest taking a look at this little book! It will help you get a pretty clear view of what's available.

Happy Easter
