Summer, Summer, Summer!!!

While summer is upon us we are trying to find our way. I have made plans and schedules and come up with many ways to keep busy. I thank a fellow blogger for her idea to keep the kids learning while having fun during the summer months. I have a plan! that feels soo good to have a direction. a plan, a way to go to make life simple. This summer will be a great one. We will be preparing my daughter for 1st grade and my son for another year of preschool before kindergarten. The plan is to get him ready to attend regular kindergarten and not special ed. He is a smart boy, he just need a little push. I hope all the structure this summer will help him.

Time to Begin the Summer Planning

So I have been looking for ways to keep the kids occupied this summer. I have found a way. Thanks to another mom on CSaHM I have come up with a plan. This should not only keep the kids busy, but will also keep them busy. Wow what a way to work it out. I thank the Lord for directing me to this. I want to keep things calm. I am normally so unorganized and its always so hectic. So the plan is to choose a theme for each week. With each theme comes an activity, library learning, and a bible verse to learn. Now my 4 year old may not learn the bible verse but we will give it a try. He may surprise me. We shall see. Happy Summer!!!

The organization Has begun!!!!

Well I've been researching new ways to get organized, because organized is definately one thing I am not. I found a new schedule to help me plan my day better, I found a way to get things organized. And this weekend.... we cleaned, we sorted, we donated, we threw away, wow the house is clean. I am not done yet. I still have to clean the carpets and finish a few closets. but for the most part the house is clean. Now If i can stay with my new found schedule when school is out, it will stay clean.. anyone have any Ideas for me i will gladly accept them. I am not a cleaner. as a matter of fact i hate house work. who doesnt. well the problem is keeping it clean once its done.

First Time Blogger

Hi all. I am a new blogger, a new christian, and a mother of 2. I wanted to begin my blog by telling alittle about my self. I am a transistioning stay at home mom. I currently work part time at the church I attend as the secretary. When school is out so is the job. I like to earn money and feel like i am contributing to my family. But as I am seeing that paying for childcare is just not worth it. I can be full time child care and take care of my home. I am learning that it is not about the money. I am looking forward to being home with my children this summer and finding out what the future holds for me. I have been praying alot about whether it is the right thing for me. I have applied at several full time jobs and have not heard back anything. Makes me think that being at home is the thing for me to do. The question is still in my head. To work or not to work. I have read many other SAHM blogs and have, by paying attention, found ways that i feel may help me in becoming a great stay at home mom and a wonderful loving wife for my hard working husband. If anyone has any ideas for me on how to get organized, discipline, and fun activites for kids ages 4 and 6, feel free to add any comments. Happy Blogging.
