WHY DON'T I POST MORE OFTEN?

I get quite a few emails about this from various people, so I need to let you all know. This was a secondary blog that I started. The actual Homeschool blog that I update at least twice a week is at

www.ourhomeschooljourney.co.za/wordpress

There is a newsletter, articles, opinions (lots of those), craft ideas, craft patterns, worksheets, wordsearch puzzles, kids recipes and so much more.

I just at this point in my journey, keep more than 1 Homeschool blog going, so, my apologies to everyone who likes to visit here, but if you could just pop over to my site, you should get all the info you need.

Thanks for always visiting.
Blessings to you all,
Susan

PS. Another reason I'm out of time, is that we're about to start our Homesteading Journey, and it is taking a lot of preparation, planning and life changing decisions.

AN EASY KIDS RECIPE FOR YOU FOR FREE!

Hi Everyone,

My kids and I have been having a bit of a holiday! And I've been working on my website. I chucked the ads and changed the colours back to the ones I liked. And wrote a few articles and things to help with Homeschooling, I hope!

My favourite.... I've uploaded one of my kids favourite recipes to make. Chunky chocolate squares. They filled with oats, coconut, cocoa and oh they're so nice. They're so easy to make and cheap, which helps if you're on a shoestring budget like us!

Give them a try while you're having a holiday, they're great to take with on picnics, as well!

Chat soon,

Blessings,
Susan

I'M BAKING WITH MY KIDS

I love baking with my 2 monsters! There was a time I really dreaded it, all the sticky bowls, counters and floors. All the fighting and wasted ingredients. But that is all ancient history now. One day I just decided this isn't working for us. Things had to change.

So I worked out a system, and fine tuned it on my babies! Bakers day for us now is bliss.

Clean up time is fun!
Ingredients are never wasted!
The kids are happy and take turns kindly!
My baking time is cut each week!
I can bake once, without have a kiddies bakers day and an adult cake baking!

We love it and so do our neighbours. We made Muffins today, and then took some to our 83 year old neighbour. She loves them too!

Baking with your kids is so important, it improves their reading skills, maths skills, and it promotes self reliance! So important.

It's a part of the curriculum that uses all 5 of their senses. This is how Homeschool is meant to be!

We're loving it!

Blessings
Susan

PS Visit us and see what we bake, your mouth will water just reading about it!

HOMESCHOOL MAKING MATHS FUN

Hi other Homeschool Mom's!

Juliette, my 8 year old is doing so well at maths, now that she's homeschooled! It took me 6 months of Homeschooling to get her out of the idea that maths was boring and difficult. She finally looks forward to maths, most probably because of the printable maths games, she absorbs concepts and has a great time. The reason why?

WE'VE MADE MATHS FUN! MATHS IS A GAME!I FOUND GAMES FOR MATH!

As adults, we all know that math skills will be vital to every child’s future.

It helps them in school… at work… in social situations… in all areas of life. You simply cannot get along without it.

But when kids struggle, and many do, we need a way to help. We need fun maths activites for kids.

Experts now agree that children learn far more readily when they are having fun. This is easy to do if you're Homeschooling. So what is the simplest way to have fun with math?

I went and did everything from scratch making games when I started Homeschooling my kids. It ended up costing a fortune, and soon I'll be starting with StJohn my 5 year old. I felt tired just thinking about it! So what did I do, I checked my Online Homeschool Resources. I found a fantastic person, thats done all the hard work! All I have to do is order ! I can't wait!I had to share it with you!And its not expensive either. They're all fun math activites for kids!

Making Math More Fun - Math Games Package brings you tried-and-true games that really work — games and activities that have been used in the classroom for years with great success. Games that kids like to play. Games that help them master key math concepts and then use what they’ve learned.

It's amazing no more boring maths, just games and fun.

What more could a child ask for! Homeschooled and having Fun! Wow!

Enjoy it, you deserve to take it a bit easy!
Blessing

Susan
