Torah School copywork
For those of you who use copywork as part of your schoolwork, I have put together a download to go with the Torah portion. There are three levels, K-3, 4-8, and 9-12. K-3 has some simple verses to copy from the portion, with lines right on the paper to make it simple for them. The […]
Psalm 37:3 Hebrew word study
Trust in YHVH and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Psalm 37:3 Batach – Trust – The concept is one of clinging to security, having confidence in, relying on. Tov – Good – This word is so much more than good. The idea is of a […]
A little praise
I would like to share something exciting that happened to me. It may be a small thing to others, but it was a big thing to me. I was talking on the phone to Doug at work, when it felt like I got something in my eye. I had to hang up the phone while […]
Beginning Readers
Okay, I’ve been at it again. This writing thing is contagious, or just plain addictive. Holly and Isaac are currently practicing their short vowel sounds, and I made this book to give them further practice. I hope your children will enjoy it, too. This book gives practice with the (at) family. Download “A cat on […]
Our journey to simple living
I have always been drawn to the simple life. My mom made our own clothes and toys, and my dad grew a big garden and hunted venison to help with food. Now, with a home of my own and 5+ kids to care for, my heart is seeking the simpler ways again. Part is from […]

The first in the series is about wearing tassels. It has bible studies, coloring pages, hands on […]
an inspiring birth
I just stumbled upon this birth account and found it very inspiring. It was written by a Jewish woman, after the birth of her daughter. Her faith and confidence, despite her fears, was amazing. I hope you enjoy it. I also want to remember where it is, lol, so I can read it again. Overcoming […]
Real life Math
I just finished reading the math section in The Three R’s by Ruth Beechick. It contained a very helpful reminder that young children learn with their hands. They need to count the spoons, sort the blocks, etc. Numbers on a page don’t mean anything to them yet. This is where real life math comes in. […]
Little fiber artist
“She worketh willingly with her hands.” Holly used her “Chanukah” money from Gramma to buy a wooden peg loom. I am so thrilled to see her take to it like she has. She comes from a long line of women who worked willingly with their hands. My grandmother made embroidered tablecloths. My aunt spun wool […]
Prep day followup
I didn’t quite make it before the 3:00 pm deadline, but here I am anyway. Elisha and I got a little distracted. I was trying to clean the living room floor, and decided to do it with a wet wash cloth. Then I could practice crawling around, which will be good for baby positioning later […]
