This web site is dedicated to moms staying at home to raise their families. We are clearly in an economic squeeze and it is becoming more and more difficult to pinch pennies. I hope to share ideas to make it easier for moms to run a household, homeschool and grow in their relationship with the Lord during these times.
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12, ESV)

BEAT THE FLU THIS WINTER!
As we approach flu season, it is good to be reminded of ways to prevent it. There are better ways to prevent the flu than being vaccinated. Check out the following points to keep yourself and your family in good health during this winter season.
1. AVOID ALL SUGAR
This means to not only refrain from sugar, but all foods containing sugar, which are most foods on the shelves of the supermarket. Read labels very carefully. In fact, when you read the labels first, will find that you will have to put most foods back on the shelf.
Sugar makes a perfect environment for viruses. Sugar completely destroys your immune system. It destroys the germ-killing ability of white bloods cells to kill bacteria and viruses up to five hours after intake. It interferes with the transport of vitamin C which is needed to fight the flu and robs the body of nutrients such as zinc that are vital for the immune function.
One of the best ways to save money on your grocery bill is to have a garden. However, most people think this only applies to the summer months. Think again though, even in the northern states you can grow many types of salad greens, beets, broccoli and cabbage just to name a few. You don’t need a big fancy heated green house either just some simple plastic covered hoop tunnel green houses and cold frames. One great book to help you get started is Four-Season Harvest by Eliot Coleman.
Even after 15+ years of homeschooling I found this article had helpful reminders.
The power of a successful homeschool journey cannot be over emphasized. Every parent who home schools wants to enjoy the adventure, grow close to their children and have well rounded children at the end of it. But moms hold the power to sabotage their own homeschools and often they do not even know they are doing it. Here are some warnings (and remedies) for homeschooling parents so that you are do not become one of them.
Warning #1 – You have no systems in placeHow do you know this is happening? You cannot find your school books, the children cannot find their pens and pencils, your laundry is piling up and you cupboards and fridge are empty.
We set up our new chicken watering system. It’s sort of a water fountain for chickens. I have used one of these before and was very happy with the results.
We have been having a bee thief in the garden this month. This insect will catch a bee in mid air and then hold it down on a branch to eat it. I am offering each child 25 cents for each bee killer they dispose of.
