This week has been like a whirlwind to me. I have been struggling with my emotions. They have been very high and low. Still I managed to accomplish a ton this week. I thought I would write a quick post as I have decided that I would write something each week( Making the Habit).
This week I had a cleaning marathon on Wednesday, I cleaned the house for 11 hours. My laundry is all caught up for now. I made a new chore list. I am hoping to make chores more of a habit and a blessing to my family. Family work must be done but it is not meant to be slavery as my kids think.
I played a game of Life with my cub scouts, wrote our Big list for the first month of school. A big list is a list of things I want to teach the kids, things they want to learn, and fun activities. This is how I do kid school for now. We are still finishing our Summer list and we decided to cut that one up into strips and draw out an activity or two each day this week and end our Summer our with a BIG BANG! I have decided to start our school year at officially at the end of the month and then I will be ready and the canning mostly done, the house organized and our school set up the way I would love to have it done. I still need to paint my school cupboard, set up learning stations, create quiet time boxes, host a Back to school Super Saturday ( I am planning a crafty day with moms in the area to make manipulative's and things for our homeschool)
This weekend we canned 30 jars of peaches and made some apple butter. I plan to can Jalapeno Jelly, Peach Jalapeno Jelly, and some Cranberry Jalapeno Salsa, and some more green beans. I would love to go on an early morning hike or scavenger hunt with the kids for Labor day.
Well that is all for now, I need to go to sleep So I can have a rested Sabbath day.
