Day 5 of my challenge

I just posted an update on my 30-day challenge. And I am quite pleased with the changes that are happening in me. I am in such a good mood that I am going to start a new challenge. This one involves getting active! I am going to start working out in the morning. I have a goal to lose one pound per week. Tomorrow morning, I will weigh in and measure and start a journal. It has been a couple of years, since I was able to focus and get excited about doing something for me. We had a really hard year in 2006, and I had a baby in the summer of 2006. And I have had to deal with a lot of emotions stemming from losses in 2005 and 2006. So this has just been a journey for me. Now I am ready to take charge and lose some weight. Anyone want to join me?????

Have a blessed day! Tami

I wanted to mention that I have a weekly email newsletter that you can sign up for on my DHSS website. It is a free service that I use to keep you informed of happenings on my website, and I also have been known to hold contests and give away items. And this week I have a free item for my readers. It is a link to an excerpt from the book, Easy Homeschooling Techniques, by Lorraine Curry. Lorraine sent me the link to share with my readers.

If you sign up for my newsletter this week, I will send you the link to the excerpt, plus you will get a copy of my ebook, Overcoming Obstacles While Homeschooling. I am working on a revision of that book, so you might see more information about that in the coming months.

I also posted my convention schedule on my website, so please check that out, too.

Have a blessed day! Tami

(Editing to say that I have been trying to get this post to upload to my blog since Monday.)

Just released! Preschool Activities in a Bag 2

Preschool Activities in a Bag is a book written by two homeschool moms, who have 11 children between the two of them. They wrote the book because they found a solution to keeping their preschoolers busy and wanted to share it with other moms who also have preschoolers. Now, hundreds of moms across the country are using Preschool Activities In a Bag. It’s hard to tell who is more excited about Preschool Activities In a Bag, the moms or the preschoolers!

The book contains detailed instructions for mom to make the preschool activities on her own or with a group of moms. The activities are easy for mom to make and fun for preschoolers to use. The best part is that they:

  • Are educational and fun
  • Require little to no help from mom
  • Are self-contained and easy to store
  • Are self-guiding and self-correcting
  • Cost very little to produce
  • Can be used over and over again

Now available at Discount Home School Supplies!!!

Kerry’s package includes Valentine recipes (over 200), creative & cheap ways to add romance to your marriage, Valentine crafts & games, and some fun February school activities. The coolest thing about her package is the price. Get this…it’s 7 items for $7.

A peek into our week

Posted on by

I am sure you have noticed that I have been bringing posts over to this blog instead of writing new articles this week. There is a good reason for that. We have had flu this week. It’s been hard to think of new things to write about when your brain is not functioning 100%. We are on the mend, and it has not been a terrible case of the flu, since we had flu shots this year. We are resting and drinking fluids as much as possible.

I do want to bring some of my favorite posts from my other blog to this blog, so you will continue to see some recycled articles. I will try to write new posts, too.

We are working on the last 8 weeks of our school year, too. We started our school year off in July, so we should be finishing up our school year at the end of March. We typically school year round with breaks, so we will have a short break, and then get back to our basics.

We have been reading a book about Thomas Edison this week. It has been entertaining for the boys to get a peek into the childhood of someone they have heard about for many years.

Have a blessed day! Tami
