Torah parenting – The tower of Babel
Your house is full of kids, 80% of which do not belong to you. Craziness has insued. They have bad ideas in their heads and nothing will stand in their way. What do you do? Torah parenting means that we follow our Heavenly Father’s example. We don’t need to look any farther than the Tower […]
Elisha gets a haircut!
Okay, so he was beginning to look a little shaggy. I loved his long hair, but it was time for him to look like a little boy, and the girls needed to be discouraged from putting a ponytail in his hair. Also, it is 90 degrees out, so he really needed his hair off his […]

The title is Torah Family Living, and it is a place for fun quizzes, links to great articles, and other resources to help you include Torah in your family’s everyday life.If you are on facebook, please be sure to head over and […]
Our school materials 2011-2012
I plan to start our school year on September 4th. I have done a lot of thinking and revamping over the summer. In some areas, I was being too gentle, meaning not pushing hard enough. We have worked very hard all summer to try to get everyone up to par in math and reading. So […]
The Power of a wife
We women do not often realize the great power we have in our role as wives. The home rises and falls on the woman. The tone and atmosphere is set by her. The spiritual compass is often in her head. The ability to influence and build up her husband lies squarely on her shoulders. She […]
Torah parenting – Noah
Torah parenting – Noah Noah found favor in YHVH’s sight. He was “a model child” for our purposes. How did YHVH deal with the good kid? (Gen 6:8) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Gen 6:12) And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for […]
Torah parenting – Cain and Abel
I am tempted to say that I am glad I do not have a son like Cain. But then I realize I must be very careful. A “Cain” could be waiting for me tomorrow. What can we learn from this very sad story? Cain and Abel were different, with different personalities and tastes. Cain preferred […]
Torah parenting – Adam and Eve
The theme of my website is “Torah family living.” How can we apply Torah to everyday family life? What does the Torah say about parenting? Can we go beyond Deuteronomy chapter six, and the teaching that rebellious children are to be stoned? I think we can. But it might require a little thinking outside the […]
An incredible day
I would love to do another post on previous birth experiences, so you would completely understand how incredible this birth was. But I like to keep my blog a relatively positive place, so I’ll keep it brief. I have had many false alarms, lasting days at a time, 2 c-sections, 3 transfers to the hospital, […]
Breaking down a unit study
I love unit studies. I don’t care for textbooks, primarily because I like the freedom to teach in the moment, using their interests, following rabbit trails, and moving on when needed. However, I do like the convenience of our language arts books, for example. I open the book to Lesson 27, and we read and […]
