This week, the panel over at The Homeschool Village is talking about refreshing your homeschool day when you start to feel like every day looks the same {i.e. the Groundhog Day syndrome}. You know ~ when mundane and repetition set in and you wonder HOW to change things up.

Having a routine is great, but what do you do to ‘mix it up’ and keep things from becoming ho-hum? Be sure to stop over The Homeschool Village and see what the other moms on the panel are doing to keep things fresh and exciting in their homeschool day…read more here.

Starting February 1st I’ll be hosting a month-long challenge at No Ordinary Moments called Little Leaps of Love. Find out more about the challenge {and the prizes} here.

For the next little bit, my internet connection and time on the computer will be limited. My hubby and I are going to be enjoying a MUCH needed break away together ~ without the kids!

I do have blog posts scheduled for the upcoming week, but if you email me, leave a comment or don’t hear back from me ~ know I’m not ignoring you! I’m just having fun and focusing on a wonderful man. :)

Have a great week!

What do you use for planning? The back of your hand? Sticky notes? Do you wing it? Be sure to stop over The Homeschool Village and see what the other moms on the panel are using and how they plan…read more here.

I know that there are LOTS to choose from, but a project that Laurianna is working on for Awana has us all talking about our favorite Bible verses {and many times WHY it is our favorite verse}. Narrowing it down to just one verse can be hard! Right now, the verse that has been on my heart is:

“Teach me Your way, O Lord, and I will walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart that I may fear Your name.”

I love that it’s also a song on one of the Seeds albums too! :)

What is YOUR favorite verse ~ and is there a reason why? Do your favorites change?
