This is a super easy activity you can do with your toddler. I cut a heart out of construction paper. Then I placed contact paper on the back the heart. Little Sunshine placed cut up pieces of tissue paper on the sticky part of the contact paper. I wrote the words; "I can see the love of Jesus shine through you. Happy Valentine's Day." We hung it up in the window so daddy could see it when he came home. </div>

<b><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I recently started having conversations
with my daughters about movies we are watching together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is amazing how much can be absorbed from a
small amount of time spent in front of the television.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are so many value systems,
philosophies, and ideologies that our children are being exposed to just
through the television.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to admit
that there was a time that I just wanted to shelter my children from it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to keep them from being exposed to
misguided beliefs and ideas. Then I realized that this would not help my
children navigate the murky waters of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It would only hinder them from making good choices and only confuse
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So instead of protecting them from
the world I have decided to try to teach them and give them the tools they need
to navigate the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to teach
them how to see the world the way God sees it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I want my children to be able to filter this life through God’s Word and
His truth and discern the truth from lies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is why I have tried to be intentional about talking to them about
concepts they are being exposed to when watching television and movies. We are
still selective when we choose movies to watch, but with most movies there are
good points and bad points and I would like to share some thoughts about
different movies we have watched recently.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The first movie that I wanted to share
about is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Frozen</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have to admit Disney isn’t always a favorite
of mine, especially when it comes to the messages that have been taught to
young girls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was actually surprised by
some of the messages and morals that were taught in this movie. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I watched the movie I came up with some
thought provoking conversations that I want to have with my own girls.<br />Here are a few concepts that were addressed in the movie.<br />
<br />
1. Emphasis on not marrying someone you’ve just met. This was a very
nontraditional Disney message. I was definitely surprised that this was a part
of a Disney Princess movie especially since every other princess falls in love
before she truly knows her prince.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
the movie Kristof even points out that marrying someone you’ve just met shows a
lack of good judgment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Someone should
point that out to most of the other Disney Princesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course there still is a love twist and Anna
does fall for Kristof, but at least they don’t get married after only spending
one evening dancing together at a ball.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I really liked that Disney addresses this concept because it can lead to
so many great conversations about really getting to know your prince/boyfriend
and really seeing his true character before getting married. <br />
<br />
2. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another concept that is addressed in
the movie is the concept of fear and the control it can have over a
person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elsa’s character operates in
fear most of her life. She isolates herself because of fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She loses control when fear takes a grip on
her heart, but love is what changes her. Not love from a prince, but sisterly
love, the kind of love that puts other people’s needs before our own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can lead to a great conversation about
how God wants us to love one another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
can also lead to a conversation about finding peace in times when we are
afraid. Peace coming not from our own control over a situation, but from understanding
Gods great love for us.<br />
<br />
3. This last point was the best part of the movie. Spoiler Alert Don't read
this last one until you've seen the movie……The movie actually ended a little
differently than the typical movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
wasn’t the love of prince that saves the day, but rather Anna’s demonstration
of sacrificial love for her sister.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anna
shows the ultimate act of love when she willingly sacrifices her own life for
her sisters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This act of love shown in
the movie can lead to a conversation about how Christ loved us so much that He
sacrificed His life for ours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></b><b><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /><br />

What are your thoughts?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What did you talk about with your children after seeing this movie?</span></span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little Sweets loves to draw. This past week she decided to draw a Nativity Scene. ( She is five and draws better than me.) I thought it would be fun to turn her drawings into magnets so that she and hers sister could play with the pictures. It turned out to be a huge success the girls love the magnets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is how I made the magnets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. I copied her pictures on the copy machine. I made several copies so we would </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
have extra if we lost a piece. I also didn't want to ruin the originals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Laminate the pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Cut them out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Place sticky magnets on the back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Have fun playing with the magnets.</div>

Did you know that Compassion has a magazine for kids? I just found out about it and asked that they send it with the compassion magazine I get quarterly. The magazine is a great teaching tool. I use it to teach my daughter about different cultures around the world, geography, and about helping and praying for others. The magazine has an arts and crafts section, examples of kids who care for others, and a devotions section. <br />
<br />
My daughter loves the magazine and I am so glad I requested it. If you are interested in receiving the magazine you can ask that they send you a copy with the quarterly magazine you receive or you can look at it online <a href="http://www.compassion.com/kids-magazine.htm">here</a>. Compassion also has a great free Christian Homeschool Curriculum check it out <a href="http://www.compassion.com/christian-home-school.htm">here</a>. </div>

Today we used an instruction manual as part of our math lesson. I was trying to teach Little Sweets the importance of following a sequence and recognizing what step comes next. I used a Brio Mec instruction manual as my teaching tool. I showed her the manual and she picked out the vehicle she wanted to create and followed each step in the instruction manual. This activity taught her the importance of following instructions as well as the importance of sequential order. I love these manuals because they are made specifically with children in mind and have great pictures to show her what she needs to do next. If you can't find Brio Mec sets Lego manuals can also be great tools for teaching sequential order. If you miss one step or go out of order your creation doesn't look like the picture in the manual.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was so excited when she finished. Here is what her vehicle looked like after she followed all the instructions. </div>

As a believer in Christ, it is my goal to use God's word as a tool in the education my children.

When we homeschool our children we are doing more than just teaching them to read, write, and do math. We are teaching them how to live life. As a parent my hope and prayer is that I will equip my children so that they can be successful when they reach adulthood. As a believer in Christ, it is my goal to use God's word as a tool in the education my children. The Word tells us that "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
This game helps with number recognition and counting.<br />
<br />
Little Peanut named the number on the pumpkin and placed the corresponding number of pumpkins on top of the number card. <br />
<br />
(I purchased the pumpkins to go with this game from the dollar section at Target. You can use orange playdough balls for pumpkins as well.)<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Autumn Leaf Sort</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
This game helps with sorting skills and color recognition.<br />
<br />
Little Peanut placed the correct leaf on the correct color card.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">School-Age Saturday</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
On Saturdays I will be posting some school age activities I did with Little Sweets.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<strong>Painting Sight Words or Spelling On Sliding Glass Door</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
I mixed a little bit of water with washable tempra paint and let Little Sweets paint her sight words on the sliding glass door. The paint comes off easily with soap and water. Little Sweets loved this activity. </div>
<div align="center">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div align="center">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a picture from the inside. We had to repaint the words since it was difficult to get a picture without a reflection from the outside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a great activity if you have younger siblings who like doing activities alongside their sister or brother. Little Peanut joined in and painted a picture of her own while Little Sweets practiced her sight words. </div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Rock Project</span></strong></div>

Over the last week I have been working on a rock project with my 2 1/2 year old and 5 year old. The girls have been very interested in rocks and they absolutely loved these activities. </div>

<strong>Sorting by Color</strong><br />
I didn't get a picture of Little Peanut doing this activity, but here is what it looked like when she was finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong> Counting and</strong> <strong>Measurement using a Scale</strong><br />
Little Peanut is measuring/counting how many cubes her rock weighs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1329.photobucket.com/user/charps82/media/9807150a-1be4-4c15-b14a-c5b060cc1ae6_zps9dc5fccf.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 9807150a-1be4-4c15-b14a-c5b060cc1ae6_zps9dc5fccf.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/w554/charps82/9807150a-1be4-4c15-b14a-c5b060cc1ae6_zps9dc5fccf.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Little Sweets is doing the same thing. She also had to estimate how many cubes her rock weighed and record her findings on a worksheet. I got the worksheet <a href="http://www.lovetwoteach.com/2011/03/more-rock-theme-ideas.html">here</a>.<br />

<strong>Writers Workshop- Describing Words</strong><br />
Together we came up with words we could use to describe different rocks. Little Sweets helped me write the words on the board. She picked a rock to write about and wrote about it in her journal. (She usually includes a princess in all her drawings. This princess had an amethyst jewel in her crown.)<br />

We use guided reading as part of our Language Arts curriculum. I got these books from <a href="http://www.learninga-z.com/index.html">Reading A to Z</a>. The first book was her guided reading book that she read to me. The second book is also a guided reading book but is intended for third graders. I used it as a read aloud. It had tons of interesting facts about gems. </div>

We made the bench cushions out of plywood, foam, and fabric. I love it because we store the toys inside the cabinets and it adds extra seating.

This is a great book for young children. There are nine stories in the book and each story discusses a different virtue. The virtues that were discussed were humility, love, thoughtfulness, faithfulness, mercy, encouragement, comfort, courage, and joy. The author starts each story with a definition of the virtue in the story. She does an excellent job of defining each virtue in a kid friendly manner. The author also ends each story with a bible verse and a question. The question helps the child think more about the virtue and how it applies to their own life.<br />
<br />
I read the book to my four year old and two year old daughters and they both loved it. I would recommend this book to anyone who has young children and would like them to learn more about virtues. <br />

book free from Tyndale Blog Network book review bloggers program. I was not

Review of <i>Bringing Up Girls</i> by Dr. James Dobson</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I received the book Bringing<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">
Up Girls by Dr. James Dobson courtesy of <a href="http://tyndaleblognetwork.com/">Tyndale Blog Network</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>This was a great book for me to read as I
have two young daughters and another on the way. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this book Dobson uses a research based
approach to educate parents on how to raise their daughters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think he did a good job sharing information
that most parents should know and understand about girls and young women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could relate to many of ideas presented in
the book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a good book for
parents who want better insight on how to connect and understand their
daughters better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would caution that
if you want a book that has many Biblical references this is not the book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I stated earlier Dobson supports most of
his advice with research and studies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
agree with much of what Dobson has to say, but as with many authors I do not
agree one-hundred percent of his advice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was especially frustrated with a question he answered in the
book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The question states that their daughter
is a “people pleaser” and asks for advice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He states that the parent should do nothing about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I completely disagree with his advice and am
even appalled that he would make this argument.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As a Christian I know that God calls us to be a God pleaser not a people
pleaser.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A child who is a people pleaser
will fall prey to peer pressure and will also struggle in their obedience with
God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While I don’t want to discredit the
rest of the book because I disagree with one thing he has written, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would caution readers to carefully reflect
on what Dr. Dobson has to say and if you are Christian make sure it aligns with
what the Bible has to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
