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 […]
Walking out the Word printable
I want to introduce another printable I just finished. This series is called “Walking out the Word.” Each set addresses one command in the torah and gives kids lots of hands on ways to understand and practice it. 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 […]
My prep day check in
I thought I’d check in real quick and give you a picture of prep day at our house. The key for me has been maintenance throughout the week. I can’t be hohum about housework for days 1-5 and then magically become Martha Stewart on prep day. Believe me, I’ve tried. A good working schedule has […]
Healing, Part 6
I feel like Job in chapter 42. I am humbled before an Almighty Elohim who controls the weather and creates mighty beasts that no one can tame. He is not to be questioned and not to be told what He will do. I am not worthy of His attention or His favor. Many others suffer […]
My Little Torah Books
I would like to introduce my latest project. It’s a series of printable books that you can make up and use as another way to teach Torah to your little ones. Little kids will enjoy having mommy or daddy read it to them, and beginning readers will enjoy reading a book all by themselves. This […]
The Outdoor Hour – Challenge #2
This week’s challenge was to focus on what we could hear, see, and feel. Thanks to Daddy coming along and acting as photographer, we have a few extra photos this week. 🙂 Overall, it was very quiet during our nature hike, but we definitely could hear lots of snapping branches. There is lots of deadwood […]
