Footsteps: May mine follow Yours, Jesus, as these little ones follow mine. May I always keep you in view as I continue on this adventure of homeschooling, mothering, and being a wife.
For history this year I decided on a little text called History of Little Pilgrims put out by Christian Liberty Press. It is a nice introduction to the concept of history and makes it very clear that history is all a part of God's great plan. We are starting out very slowly with this book, reading a section or two twice a week and adding in extra reading and projects as we meander along.
I am a former Missionary Kid to the Philippines, where I spent my teenage years having wonderful adventures on an island in the middle of warm ocean waters. Due to the irresistable charms of my Minnesota husband, I am now raising a family on an island in the middle of a very large, very cold lake.
I am also a former teacher who rolled my eyes at all the women wasting away their lives, educations, and talents holed away in their homes raising needy, young waifs. I have now enthusiastically joined the ranks of these poor, underappreciated women. (And, no, I do not feel poor OR underappreciated!)
