I figured this would be a great topic because I know I am not the only one that has family members that suffer every time spring hits and the pollen and cottonwood start flying through the air. I have 3 children but 2 who suffer from outside allergies. My son who was tested when he was young is literally allergic to everything outside! For him, this is a bummer as he is an outside type of guy. My youngest however has never been tested for allergies but shows signs that she may have them also. So how do we combat allergies? Well first of all I love essential oils! We use them topically, internally, and diffuse them. Now here is where I will insert my....... </p><p>(<b>Disclaimer: I am not a physician so please do your own research on any product I suggest and seek medical advice if you need to. I am just a mom sharing what we do naturally to help our own families' needs.) </b></p><p><span> </span>Ok, let's get back to it...... I use the Doterra brand of essential oils. After doing my research I feel this brand is the purest and I have not had any issues with them. I do have a post on why I chose Doterra if you would like to hear the full reason. So, we use a blend of Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint. I diffuse this in my diffuser and also put this blend in a roller bottle along with fractionated coconut oil, to rub on our necks and wrists. We also love the Breathe oil for when we get congested and all stuffed up. We diffuse this oil and also rub it on our chest. Unfortionalty with dryer weather comes dry noses and nose bleeds. For this, we try to rub a small amount of Neosporin or Vaseline to the insides of our nose, just a little bit. We also use a saline spray to keep our nasal passages moist to prevent drying out. If we do get nose bleeds then we rub Lavendar on the bridge or our nose to help stop the bleeding. Also just taking a break from the heat and allergies outside is a must! Here you can check out my Doterra essential oil website <a href="https://www.doterra.com/US/en/site/laurawarden">Doterra</a>. We also love using the Aim Companies All-natural supplements. We love Barley Life and Coco Leaf Greens for just overall immune and whole-body health. My kids drink Coco Leaf Greens in milk with a straw it's like chocolate milk! You can check out the Aim Products here: <a href="https://myaimstore.com/mattshealthyliving/">Aim Companies</a>. I know that spring and summer is a great time of year. We are all excited to be outside but then we suffer the consequences of allergies. I try to do what I can that is all-natural but sometimes we have to take allergy medicine. I was using Zyrtec but then my homeopathic doctor told me that I should switch to Claritin instead. He also recommended we try Nettles and Curcitin which I have not tried yet. That will be my next purchase. I hope this post is helpful and if you have any suggestions please let me know as this is an ongoing struggle in our home, and I would love to hear other remedies! God Bless and Happy Summertime!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a testimony about Aim and Kids!</p><p><a href="https://myaimstore.com/mattshealthyliving/testimonials/there-is-hope-for-our-kids/">Hope for Our Kids</a><br /></p>mlwarden4http://www.blogger.com/profile/04342304854463380531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907117620446851583.post-20245835230646500972021-05-25T10:34:00.007-06:002021-05-25T10:34:56.730-06:00Check it out!

So here we go let's get caught up. So far 2021 is going good. We have a new cow on the pasture, incorporated new chicks and ducks into our flock, and started a small garden again. I am no green thumb but hey at least I try right? We have celebrated birthdays and even squeezed in a camping trip. I am also excited to announce that I have created a new planner! It will be available on Amazon shortly so be sure to check it out! I will also do an update when it comes available. I am no longer working due to the so-called covid pandemic........ But that is ok I believe the Lord wanted me to be home. It's funny how the Lord works in our lives and sometimes we don't always understand his ways but I know His ways are higher than my ways and I have to trust him with all things. I am sure everyone is struggling in some way or another throughout the last year and a half with all the pandemic stuff. It can take a toll on you emotionally, financially, and physically. That's when you need to trust God, focus on your family and health, and be grateful for the little things in life. This year my husband and I decided to take our health into our own hands and sought out a natural way to lose weight. We discovered through our chiropractor a 6-week weight loss program called Chiro Thin. My husband has lost over 40 lbs and I have lost over 35 lbs. We feel great! If you are wanting to get serious about your health I highly recommend you check it out. It's amazing how losing the extra pounds helps with inflammation, pain, and mental clarity, and overall outlook on life. I hope everyone is doing well and finding joy through these trying times. Remember that God is in control of everything and we have nothing to fear. Here are a few pictures of what's been going on I hope you enjoy them. God Bless!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWpT2YDZWGoJ6ofrE1Xs2ocFcUNWB2m9Otw0iuIQnlRTPOCbDmenLh9K4DecljbE5cf2qW3YDcSmYjChWWUF-AE5n74E6JZqCmFZcvS20JkLvTkqE4Uf3VTxTtOhN9Vo7JL20iZQNwcYQ/s2048/untitled%252884of301%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

And boy what a year, right? It's been a while since I have posted anything and I wish I could say for good reasons...but I have been sick with a head cold. NO, it's not covid. I am so sick of Covid I could vomit! You can't even get sick anymore with the standard flu or head cold every one thinks you have covid. Funny fact I called my doctor and they told me that anyone with inflammation will test positive for covid. hhhhmmmm? That's weird plus they told me they really don't have drugs to treat covid they just treat your symptoms. I don't know about you, <b>Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and do not</b> <b>use any of the information here as medical advice but people do some researc</b>h, please. Anyways done with that little rant! We have been busy doing school and shopping online because I can't go into any stores unless I wear a mask or face shield which I will not do because of exemptions so... Amazon has become my friend for Christmas shopping. I must say that it is nice not to have to worry about the crowds of people and it all comes right to my door. We took the day before Thanksgiving to get our Christmas tree which was a lot of fun.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfRDsaU4Sqe3NZAuVsUhZDgsxINM6tXJeCAMsk4UpnBsl_DGFMRXpRWRlG-EDLOmRpRI19e5hUpa73WiyhD5ACp18YgNyh47EzqiLU_ZPWgb2T7UuJornvn8qxaTH_TB77csqtaTEsFxE/s2048/20201121_144442.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfRDsaU4Sqe3NZAuVsUhZDgsxINM6tXJeCAMsk4UpnBsl_DGFMRXpRWRlG-EDLOmRpRI19e5hUpa73WiyhD5ACp18YgNyh47EzqiLU_ZPWgb2T7UuJornvn8qxaTH_TB77csqtaTEsFxE/s320/20201121_144442.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> We ran into some snow but that did not stop us. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnvLv95uqaAinFv1dxF-r2zSMpCfqSufHr073i_e6HdROXAHFrmLQy2qaNJ2BkOswlR0_HgfEiCTpCwcAC2q-ydxEF9rmBea_7HWvVcdXHY1FAVWwIP8cFGiGmSxscaBvfhxedBOhvbFY/s2048/20201121_150343.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnvLv95uqaAinFv1dxF-r2zSMpCfqSufHr073i_e6HdROXAHFrmLQy2qaNJ2BkOswlR0_HgfEiCTpCwcAC2q-ydxEF9rmBea_7HWvVcdXHY1FAVWwIP8cFGiGmSxscaBvfhxedBOhvbFY/s320/20201121_150343.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and feel very blessed with what the Lord has given us. In a time when things seem so bleak, we have Jesus to lift us up. I don't know about you but when I stop and think about it I have a lot of things to be thankful for. And now we are nearing Christmas. I love Christmas and everything about it. It is wonderful to put up a tree and lights on the house, bake cookies with the family, watch Christmas movies, and just be in the moment. I am blessed to know that Jesus was born and he is the reason I live every day. Without him I am nothing and life would seem so desolate especially during this time with this pandemic. But my hope is not in a vaccine or drug or the government it is in CHRIST ALONE! I hope you take some time to look back on the year and ask yourself...Did you have a happy year or a year full of fear? As Christians, we have nothing to fear for GOD is in control. We are not stressed but blessed. So let's spread the Christmas Joy to those around us, speak truth and light into a world of darkness. Pray for our loved ones and our country. </p><p>Merry Christmas and God Bless!</p>mlwarden4http://www.blogger.com/profile/04342304854463380531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907117620446851583.post-75621587284409086302020-10-26T18:12:00.000-06:002020-10-26T18:12:07.501-06:00When do we say enough is enough?<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2-K1P-GG6TqWT1bWFANFjf8cz2Wy2Q8VN1hGudjEpinwsMpf1M_Wve6GOyBg_MoMi0NrkmphSzqc5cla6OpMCxldCZ7uWFnN4tg7v0iafChk4M0xN59m1t8RtE2DuClct0NPi6TzLYCI/s648/20201024_120856.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="419" data-original-width="648" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2-K1P-GG6TqWT1bWFANFjf8cz2Wy2Q8VN1hGudjEpinwsMpf1M_Wve6GOyBg_MoMi0NrkmphSzqc5cla6OpMCxldCZ7uWFnN4tg7v0iafChk4M0xN59m1t8RtE2DuClct0NPi6TzLYCI/s320/20201024_120856.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Friends I come to you today with a question that we all must ask ourselves. When do we say enough? What I mean by this is, right now before our very eyes our civil liberties are being stripped away. We have tyrannical governments trying to dictate our lives by trying to enforce us to wear masks, and very soon vaccines. We the people have to stand up for our rights, even though we may lose out on things. For instance I have recently been laid off from my job, even though I have not worn a mask this whole time but now the company is going to comply and enforce everyone to wear a mask. My employer asked why I dont want to wear one and I told him I can't wear one due to health reason and I can't wear a face shield do to health reasons also. Plus its against the law per OSHA guidelines to force me to wear a mask with out being properly examined to see if I am even capable of wearing one. So long story short it cost me my job and I was laid off. This my friends is not about the mask or the virus it's about government control and money. You see federal funds are being trickled down to the state officials and health districts which are mandating all this stuff. We must not allow this to happen ! I know it's scary to think of losing your job or getting arrested simply because you have a constitutional right to not wear a mask. Friends let's unite with our neighbors, to stand up for or faith, family, and most of all freedom. That's what this country has always been about. That's what our fore fathers fought and died for. I hate to say it but things are going to get worse, but with the Lord on our side we will prevail! Seek the lord during these times and turn your hearts to him because time is short. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!</p>mlwarden4http://www.blogger.com/profile/04342304854463380531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907117620446851583.post-5830398863339591612020-10-06T16:12:00.002-06:002020-10-06T16:12:28.529-06:00Homeschooling, Am I Doing Enough?<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7WGm3kefzLpziuOB9rayfjAdBntT9JIv_dfIQkW6zePtdYX9-_JqwcSAqYrI8iBldlMpcQtnJLzxuhj0BHN6zoW4-aYjrqz0nDm8oL2Uy0dYdRFMJCqn_5B7ks9dZxXXe-gEWfpZ8dU/s611/20201006_160947.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="611" data-original-width="582" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7WGm3kefzLpziuOB9rayfjAdBntT9JIv_dfIQkW6zePtdYX9-_JqwcSAqYrI8iBldlMpcQtnJLzxuhj0BHN6zoW4-aYjrqz0nDm8oL2Uy0dYdRFMJCqn_5B7ks9dZxXXe-gEWfpZ8dU/s320/20201006_160947.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>Hey There!</p><p>As a homeschooling parent it is hard to figure out if your doing enough. I've had alot of new homeschooling parents ask how do I know if I am doing enough? And there is no right or wrong answer to that question. Homeschool is an individual journey of learning for each child. Some children may be able to do more work than others but what is important is that they are learning. We has homeschoolers want to have children that are life long learners. That means school doesn't end when they graduate. I am a firm believer in the 3 R's in educating your children. As long as your child can read and comprehend you have a life long learner. Children need the basics of reading, writing and Arithmetic in order to function in life. Everything else comes naturally like science, history etc. I am also a huge advocate for teaching life skills like cooking, laundry, mowing a yard, and caring for animals. Children will grow to be adults and will need to know life skills to live on their own.....we dont need grown children bringing laundry home !!!😉 As to the question of am I doing enough, I would have the amount of work you give your child suit their learning needs. Sometimes kids have short attention spans and maybe can stay focused for 15 min on a subject. That's fine as long as it was quality work and focus, then only do 15 min. Others may work for an hour and be fine. I know some kids need alot of breaks and that's ok. To homeschool is to find a schedule and system that works for your family. If your overwhelmed then step back focus on the basics and read a story or watch a documentary for history or science. It doesn't have to he complicated. I reccomend Liberty Kids videos for history, The Magic School Bus videos for science, and even Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago for geography. Its educational and stress free. Let's take the time to learn what our children like and how they like to learn. Love your children and enjoy them because time is short. My oldest will be 18 in June, I wish he was little again. I treasure the moments and years we have homeschooled and I am not done yet I still have a 14 yr old and a 10 yr old.... I've been homeschooling for 12 years and my style and system changes all the time. I hope this helps if you have any questions feel free to ask.

It is appalling what they are trying to teach our children in public schools. I pray that you will take to heart these videos that I am going to share with you and that you search your heart for guidance in whether you should take your children out of school or not. Our children were given to us by our creator to raise and protect and to teach them what is Godly and holy in the eyes of God. Please, Please share this with all of your friends now. This is a new curriculum that is already in 27 states and may not be in your state but in your county. Do your own research as always. God Bless. And Pray for our Country!</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/aJZNjRBHVNY">Brainwashed( How Black Lives Matter Hijacked Our Schools)</a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/ByUAQmMS3ig">BRAINWASHED: The Radical Sex Agenda Corrupting Your Kid (PROMO) </a><br /></p>mlwarden4http://www.blogger.com/profile/04342304854463380531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907117620446851583.post-10415082728177760172020-08-24T14:30:00.003-06:002020-08-24T14:30:32.326-06:00These uncertain times!<div class="separator"><p style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img alt="Children Under A Tree Clip Art" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/6/B/J/g/g/g/children-under-a-tree-md.png" /></p><p style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Hello, my friends,</p></div><p>Well, I don't know about you but I could use some encouragement in the pandemic era of our lives. Every morning it's the same thing on the news, Covid-19, Wear your mask, and all about the upcoming election. I find myself getting discouraged about our country and personally our freedom. I am a firm believer in not wearing masks if you don't want to. You should be able to go to a grocery store and shop without getting the stink eye from everyone because you as a citizen have the right to not wear a mask if that is what you choose. I find myself not wanting to go to town at all but instead just stay home and focus on my family and above all God. I don't think it's possible to walk this life without God. So friends I urge you to take a look at your heart and where you stand with the Lord because time is short. The Bible says we do not know the hour or the day that the Lord will return, but to be ready at all times. If you are a Bible-believing person then you can see the signs around us. Our world is in a whirlwind right now with so many uncertain things. For instance, so many people are frustrated about having to homeschool their children all of a sudden, and many parents both work full time and that is hard on them. But friends instead of getting upset that your children are not gone all day and now they are home with you, let's take the time to see what they are being taught in the public schools and does it agree with your beliefs? Let's spend time teaching our children about life and family and what it means to have unity in the home. So many of us are glued to our phones and the kids are glued to video games and tablets and tik tok and Instagram that they don't even know how to talk to parents or have a conversation with other children because its all texting. Technology is raising a generation of children that feel entitled and that the world owes them. They don't know how to work and save money and be respectful, productive citizens and furthermore half of them don't even know what the Constitution says and what it stands for. There's something wrong here!!!!! So I encourage you to invest more time into your children for they are the generation that will reap the repercussions of the decisions made today. Pray with your children daily and read the word of God to them whether it be the Bible or a storybook Bible, either way, instill the word of God in them. Teach them to help around the house because someday they will live on their own. Love them unconditionally like Christ loves us and give them the grace to grow and make mistakes just as we are shown grace by Jesus. Let's take this pandemic and turn it into a time to re-evaluate our hearts and lives and what is really important to us. Take pride in your home instead of dreading being there all the time and feeling couped up let's get it organized and cleaned, so we can play games and do things with our children. Today is the day to rise up and turn your eyes to heaven ask God for peace and Grace during these trying times. Because friends this is just our temporary home. Each day is precious and we are not guaranteed our next breath. I thank God every day for my family and the life I live no matter what comes my way! God Bless and let's keep fighting the good fight lets raise a generation of soldiers for CHRIST!!!</p><p> <img alt="Standing Soldiers Clip Art"

Hey friends!<br />
<br />
<br />
I just thought I would give a life update. We have had so much going on and I have been so busy. First of all, I think that in my last post I mentioned about getting a job. Well the Lord has blessed me with an awesome job. Let me just say that when you pray and really trust God for your decisions and concerns he listens and answers. When I was praying for a job these were my specifics. I asked God to either give me a job so I can work from home or a very part-time job locally in the small town I live in. I also told the Lord that I am not looking to be rich but at least 500.00 a month extra would make a world of difference. And last but not least I told the Lord that I still wanted to be able to homeschool my girls and not be gone from them all day every day. You may be wondering did God answer one of these requests or all of them? Well, I am here to tell you that God answered all of them. I found a local job working 2 days a week and making 500.00 a month. Plus I still homeschool my girls. Isn't God GOOD!!!! I am so very blessed and I stand in awe of how God works, better yet I never even applied for the job, I called to inquire about it and they called me back asking for an interview. Not only has it helped financially but it has also given me a nice outlet to talk to adults 😉 . We are also gearing up for 4 h and raising a goat again plus we will be raising a cow for meat. My son also graduated at the age of 16 and has started college. And my girls are moving right ahead in their homeschool. Spring is upon us and we have been getting nicer weather, so time to start working on a garden. I love spring and summer and cant wait to go camping and boating with my family. I hope everyone is doing well and God Bless!<br />

Hey Everyone,</div>
<br />
Well with the wake of the Corona Virus hitting our country most of you have now become homeschool parents, not out of want but out of necessity. Don't panic like the rest of the world, homeschooling is not that hard. In fact, if you taught your kids ABC's and how to write there name you can homeschool. If you are worried about the schools not providing you with online courses then no worries. There are many options. First, my Curriculum books are a great resource to have and they are inexpensive and you can use the internet or any books you have at home or on kindle to educate your child. Go check them out here <span style="color: red;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3ALaura+Warden&s=relevancerank&text=Laura+Warden&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">A Christian Delight Directed Curriculum</span></a>.</b></span> Second EP homeschool is the other online option that you can use to homeschool your children. <a href="https://allinonehomeschool.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><b>All in one homeschool</b></span></a><span style="color: red;"><b> </b></span>offers courses from pre-k through Highschool. So there you have it for the homeschool options that I recommend. Also if you find yourself scrambling to find Toilet Paper, along with other items like medicine, vitamins, and other products to keep you as healthy as possible please check out The Aim products here.<span style="color: red;"> <b><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://myaimstore.com/mattshealthyliving/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">My Aim Store</span></a>,</span></b> </span>these supplements will help build your immune system and supports whole body functions. (<b>Disclaimer: The Aim products are not a cure or medication for the Corona Virus, Please seek medical help if you feel you may have the Corona Virus or have been in contact with someone who has it.) </b>This is my personal opinion on<br />
supplements that my family takes to ensure we stay as healthy as possible. In the meantime stay home and enjoy your children because life is short and things are crazy. And PRAY for our Country!!!

It is a wonderful morning and I am up and at em!!!! I already did my workout for the day and I am feeling good. Today we are going to focus on how to start a budget that you can stick to. I know for most people this is very hard but I promise if you can get a budget and stick to it you will conquer your finances. Budgeting is the number one way that has allowed me to stay at home with my kids and live on one income. I am strict and budget every dollar my husband brings in. Two years ago my husband was able to take a lower-paying job with less stress making half of what he was making because we budgeted and were frugal. Now that he has a better paying job which we are so blessed that he has, we understand that we can make it on very little and still have a happy healthy lifestyle all because of budgeting. So let's get to it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
First of all, when starting a budget you need to calculate your monthly expenses. I'm talking mortgage, rent, utilities, clothing, insurance entertainment, etc. Write them all down and the amount each category cost. Then figure out what your monthly income is or like I do bi-weekly income. Put your income at the top of the page and then deduct all your expenses. You should end up with zero at the bottom of your page. That is what budgeting every dollar is about. You tell each dollar where to go and how to work. You are in control, not the money. If you have a negative after deducting your expenses then you need to try and get rid of some expenses I mean cut it down to the nitty-gritty! Remember your goal is to get your finances in order and get out of debt. If you have to cut things like Netflix or eating out or maybe your kid's activities, it is just for a short time until you can get your budget in order. Just think if you canceled Netflix that extra 10-15 dollars can be an extra payment on your debt. It may not seem like much but its something. Here is a free Downloadable budget form.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"> Envelope System!</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Second, let's talk about the envelope system and using cash! Using cash holds you accountable. Let's say payday comes and you go to the bank and pull out cash for the expenses you typically overspend on. Let's say groceries for example. If I were to pull out 200.00 in cash for my groceries and stick it in an envelope then that is my budget for food until next payday. If you spend it all then that is it, you make do with the food you have until the next payday. When you go into the store only take your cash envelope and add up everything you put in your basket so you can stay on track. If you go over your budget then put some things back. Trust me it sounds hard but once you do it and form a habit it will become easy. I personally use an app called (Grocery Shopping Calculator) you put in your budget set your sales tax and then add items with the prices and it totals it all up for you, so you know exactly what you're spending. Do the same thing for any other expenses you need to stay on track with.<br />
<br />
I hope this post encourages you to take a look at your finances and get them under control. Remember the Lord blesses us with everything we have even the jobs that bring in the money. We should strive to be good stewards of our finances no matter how much or little we have. The Bible says we should not be in debt. Here are some scriptures from the Bible.<br />
<br />

Hey friends,<br />
<br />
Today I thought I would touch on the 7 baby steps to help you get out of debt. I wish I could take credit for this but I can't. All the credit goes to Dave Ramsey. If you haven't heard of him go check him out. He is a financial guru that has helped millions of people become debt-free. First of all, I would say the number one thing to do when getting out of debt is to make sure both you and your spouse are on the same page. If you aren't then these strategies will not work. When both of you are on the same page and striving for the same goal it will all work. Now let's get down to the Baby Steps.<br />
<br />
<br />
Baby step 1:<br />
<br />
First thing in baby step 1 is you need a 1,000.00 emergency fund. You know that rainy day fun for when the car breaks down or the dryer quits working or you need dental work that the insurance won't cover. Get this saved up ASAP. Sell things you don't use any more or work some overtime what ever it takes to get your emergency fund to 1,000.00.<br />
<br />
Baby step 2:<br />
<br />
Next you are going to attack your debt with the debt snowball. Write down all your debts from smallest to largest payoff and start throwing every little bit of extra money at the smallest debt while still making minimum payments on the rest. After you knock out the smallest debt take that minimum payment plus the extra money you were throwing at it and put it all towards your next debt. Continue like this until all your debt is paid off except your mortgage.<br />
<br />
TIP: YOU SHOULD START BUDGETING EVERYDOLLAR SO YOU NO EXACTLY WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING.<br />
<br />
Baby step 3:<br />
<br />
After you paid off debt now it's time to focus on you savings again. Start saving for 3 to 6 months of living expenses. This is so you have a nest egg for if you get laid off or there is a major emergency and you cant work, you will have money to pay for your Bill's and living expenses.<br />
<br />
Baby step 4:<br />
<br />
Now that your sitting pretty with no debt and a butt kicking savings let's focus on investing. You can now invest 15% into retirement.<br />
<br />
Baby step 5:<br />
<br />
Lets not forget the kids. You can now start saving for there college fund to help start their future off right. Dave Ramsey recommends starting an ESA (Educational savings account) or a 529 college savings plan.<br />
<br />
Baby step 6:<br />
<br />
Now for the largest debt. It's time to throw everything you have at your mortgage. Paying your home off early will be such a great burden that will be lifted off your shoulders.<br />
<br />
Baby step 7:<br />
<br />
This is the last step and most rewarding. Keep building wealth and savings but now you can live and give generously to other. What a great feeling to live the life you want and also be able to help others.<br />
<br />
Dave's famous saying is " live like no one else so someday you can live like no one else."<br />
<br />
We live in a day and age where living frugally and getting out of debt is not the norm. Some people may make fun of you for saying no to eating out and shopping. But that's ok because you are changing your future and leaving a legacy for your family. Let's leave a legacy together. Join me and my family as we start our debt free Journey. Let's live like no else now so we can live like no one else later. God Bless!<br />

Hey everyone,</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Well, this is the year for us to work on our debt-free journey. Even though I talk about how to stay home with your kids and live on a budget, sometimes to reach our goals we have to sacrifice a little. For me, that means getting a little part-time job with a regular income to help pay off debt. Now I will still be homeschooling my girls so I am looking for a job that will work with my schedule. Although it's not ideal to go to work I am serious about paying off debt once and for all. We live very frugally and still are having a hard time paying our debt down. This has caused undue stress in my marriage and after praying about it I feel like the Lord is telling me to get a little PT job to help out. Now my plate is already full of homemaking and homeschooling and all the other hats I wear but I really want to be debt-free. So, I am looking for a job. I just had an interview for a job working 2 days a week which I feel is doable. I am waiting to hear back from them. Fingers crossed! It is a little nerve-racking to get back into the work field after being at home for so long, but I am committed to paying off debt! Will this work out? Or will it be forever? That I do not know. But the Lord knows and I will leave it up to him. As wives, it is important to be a helpmeet to our husbands that is why we were created by God to help. It doesn't mean be a slave or a doormat but truly to look at your circumstances and family and ask your self what can I do to help. I will be honest this has been very hard for me as I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom and homeschool. But as my husband's helpmeet, I am reminded that my ways are not God's ways. So I am thinking of my family and going to do my part in helping out financially. I have always wanted to help out financially in some way, I would prefer it to be from home but right now that's not an option. So I will do the next best thing and find a PT job right in my little town so I can still be close to home. I want to leave a legacy for my children about being financially independent and having a lasting marriage which means compromise. If you can't work together as a couple and learn to communicate and truly love and have respect for each other, your marriage will have trouble. Trust me I know from experience. I will have been married for 20 years come this June and it has been a long rough road. But with God all things are possible. I have trusted the Lord for every aspect of my life and he has never let me down. Things have been hard and there are days I feel like giving up but I have put my trust in God. Don't let the enemy come in and still your joy or try to destroy your marriage and rip your family apart. Put your trust in God and be faithful and he will see you through it all. I hope this post is encouraging for those of you that are struggling with finances and marriage issues. I am just like anyone else trying to make it in this world with all the ups and downs, I just lean completely on God for all of my needs. God Bless!<br />

<br />
It has been a while since I have posted but let me assure you it was for a good reason. It has been a long time coming but I have finally finished my last workbook. It is A Christian Delight Directed Curriculum K-2 Book #2. The front cover is different because KDP has changed its layout and I was unable to find the original layout. For those of you that have purchased the first k-2 book the second one is on its way. Right now it is in the final review stage and if all goes well it will be available on Amazon.com!!!! I am so excited and also feel so bad that it took this long, but I am a homeschooling mom as well and we all know how life can get in the way of things. If anyone has ordered and used the other curriculum books I would love to have feedback on them, and how they are working for your family. We use them with our middle school daughter and she loves it. I hope the new year is treating you all well and hope to hear from you soon. Until next time Happy Homeschooling.<br />

Well it's something ever homeschool parent faces year after year. The search for the perfect curriculum. Are you guilty of ordering a curriculum that you planned on using year after year through all of your kids only to find out it worked for one and not the other? Your not alone. I remember when I first started homeschooling my son, I purchased Abeka. I loved Abeka and still do. He did great in it and so when my middle daughter was school age we jumped right in with Abeka. First it started out ok but then the trouble began. My daughter was struggling with phonics and reading and I started pulling my hair out! Why wasn't this curriculum working ? I though I was failing my daughter because she wasn't understanding phonics and was really struggling to read. So after lots of prayer I came to the conclusion that Abeka was not for her. What was I going to do? I searched the internet over for a curriculum that would work for her needs. This began my journey of a tailored curriculum for my daughter. She learned so differently that I just backed up to the basics of reading, writing and math. We started with the Bob Books which worked really well for her and also purchased Zoo Phonics. If your child struggles with phonics I highly recommend Zoo Phonics. She started reading and feeling very proud of her accomplishments. Then we backed up to basic math facts and just learning to count to 100. And for writing we worked on letters and words to make sure she was forming words correctly. As she progressed we added harder subjects and to this day we tailor her curriculum to fit her needs. That's why I created my curriculum books. I specifically made them for her. She has excelled in these books and finds joy in homeschooling. She has progressed with her tailored education and I couldn't be happier. Don't be afraid to toss out the curriculum that doesn't work. God made each of us unique and we all learn differently. Find what works and go from there because your child's education is worth it. Make your homeschool work for you and your family and don't worry about what other homeschoolers are doing. We all learn to read and write and do math just at different rates, and that's all that matters. Happy homeschooling!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Well, once again I woke up to grumpy kids not wanting to do school. Are you like me, do you struggle with getting your day going especially if you homeschool? Well, that is why a homeschool Daily Rhythm is so important. Not only will you feel more relaxed but so will your kids. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What is a homeschool rhythm? Well, it is how your day starts and ends and everything in between. How it ebbs and flows. Most of us have a rhythm to our days and we may not even know it. But is our rhythm hectic or peaceful? This is what I want to emphasize on today, making a peaceful homeschool rhythm. Many of us have a routine which in a way is a rhythm. We may wake up, eat breakfast, do some chores and start school. But is it peaceful? I know sometimes my mornings are so hectic and the kids are so grumpy it sets the mood for the entire day. This is just stressful, it makes me feel so sad that the day did not go as planned and the atmosphere was gloomy. So how can we make a better rhythm to our day especially our mornings? When let's be honest most of us are tired and grumpy and don't feel like doing anything. Here are a few tips that may help. </div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/c/c/0/9/11971038111210232392johnny_automatic_sunday_morning.svg.med.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Sunday Morning Clip Art" border="0" height="152" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/c/c/0/9/11971038111210232392johnny_automatic_sunday_morning.svg.med.png" width="200" /></a> </div>
<div>
1. Wake your children up at an earlier time so they may have time to cuddle on the couch and just wake up. I know I like to sit and have coffee and read while I'm trying to wake up so they may be the same way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Set the MOOD. Light some candles or an oil lamp and play soft music instead of watching t.v. My girls love this kind of stuff, you can even read aloud to your children while they get breakfast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/e/8/a/1/1197090118628702054Gerald_G_Hurricane_Lamp_2.svg.med.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hurricane Lamp Clip Art" border="0" height="200" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/e/8/a/1/1197090118628702054Gerald_G_Hurricane_Lamp_2.svg.med.png" width="136" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Have a simple breakfast. Something they can make themselves or that you made the night before.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Have your children get ready and tidy up before they even start school.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Start your school day. Now, this may still cause some grumbling but press through the negative and try to be positive when helping your children start their school, if you have a peaceful response it will help them too also have a peaceful attitude.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And lastly, keep your morning rhythm the same so that your children will know what to expect each morning and in the end, it will become a habit for them. It has been said that it takes 30 days to form a habit. So give yourself a month to try your new Rhythm out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We have had a routine for our homeschool as long as I can remember but I am going to try and implement a warm and encouraging Rhythm to our homeschool days. One that my girls will look forward to every day. A happy homeschool starts with the parent having a great outlook on the day and not letting emotions and worries stand in the way. Pray before you wake your kids up for the day and ask the Lord to Bless your day because to be a stay at home parent and homeschooler is a calling that the Lord has laid on our hearts and he hears our prayers! I hope this helps you to find a more peaceful rhythm to your day God Bless! </div>

Hey friends,<br />
<br />
Today I want to share with all you homeschoolers out there one of the easiest ways to homeschool multiple children in different grades. I feel like I have some insight on this because I have children who are in different grades and homeschool them at the same time. First of all, if you have children that are close to the same grade or learning level, this is a cinch. You will want to take the Charlotte Mason approach to homeschool which I have down when my girls were at a closer learning level. It's great to incorporate science, history, even language arts when your children are at the same level because the great thing about this is that you can read aloud the lesson or story discuss it out loud with the kids, then have them independently do some writing or worksheet at their level pertaining to the lesson. Also, I feel children learn better when listening to a story or lesson and then verbally discussing it. When your children are at different learning levels the way I have found that helps me teach each child is to give one child or children subjects that you know they can work on independently while you help the other children with the subjects they need help on. Once your done helping that child with the tougher subject then give them something to work on independently while you move on to the next child. Are you busy running around the house helping everyone? Well yes, you are but you can feel confident that you are helping each child in his or her subjects that are harder to understand. I have to admit that over the 12 years that I have been homeschooling my approach has changed. When my children were younger it was easy to do Charlotte Mason style but as they progressed and got older I have had to change my approach. Don't ever let yourself feel stuck if a style or curriculum isn't working for you or your children. That's the blessing of homeschooling. You can pick and choose how and what you do in your homeschool. You also want to make sure that your children are progressing. You may think that your child is behind or not at the same speed as your other children but that is ok. Let's remember why we homeschool... To give an individualized education to each child specializing in the curriculum to his or her needs. Focus on the three R's and you can't go wrong. If you are interested in having a more relaxed homeschool be sure to check out my curriculum books A Christian Delight Directed Curriculum. These books are laid out so simply that all you do is gather books that interest your child and start at day one. No more lesson planning for the year. Each book contains 90 days of school so when you purchase books one and two you have a 180 day school year. Add in your own math curriculum and you have a full delight directed school year. My 7th-grade daughter has been using my curriculum books since the end of 5th grade and loves them. It allows her to have an individualized education while studying subjects she likes. I hope this encourages parents that want to homeschool or parents that are already homeschooling but feeling overwhelmed. Your child deserves the best education that only you can give them without the pressures of the public school system and common core curriculum in our schools today. BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND BE BLESSED! And Happy Homeschooling!mlwarden4http://www.blogger.com/profile/04342304854463380531noreply@blogger.com0
