My husband and I have tried so many different businesses but stumbled across one that has been a true God send. If you are open to multiple streams of income I would highly recommend you watch the videos on my husbands website. His website is www.tithe.acnrep.com It's a great time to get involved. Let me know if you have any questions. God bless your business!The adventure continues...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03628418926109867358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37249745.post-50438191349104315212010-10-29T23:43:52.089-05:002010-10-29T23:43:52.089-05:00Most of the time at least one of my kids don't...Most of the time at least one of my kids don't have matching shoes on.

I was never homeschooled and my family likes to say I didn't start talking til I was 25 and I've been making up for it ever since :) Our quietness, slow to warm up and get comfortable, "shyness", is just part of some of our personalities. It isn't how and where we were schooled it is how God made us. One other thing I've noticed....personal experience.....me being shy, I shied away from "experimenting". My sister being very outgoing and doesn't meet a stranger, tried anything and everything. So....look at her shyness as a protection barrier on her part and don't push her to "join in" if she isn't ready. This will be very helpful when she becomes a teen :) God's Blessings.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808437059057372095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37249745.post-44417147711200323522010-03-20T20:14:49.685-05:002010-03-20T20:14:49.685-05:00I wouldn't chalk it up to homeschooling either...I wouldn't chalk it up to homeschooling either. I attended public schools through 5th grade, and though I was a natural leader (class president every year) each time I moved to a new school - 8 times in 5 years - I spent the entire first day bawling my eyes out.<br />Some of us simply have a harder time adjusting to new situaion.<br />I think homeschoolers tend to be better adjusted since they usually spend more time interacting with a wider variety of ages and under far more varied settings than children who spend 8 hours/day in an age-segregated institution.Kim C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05399614218818338494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37249745.post-25544286037264759312008-06-16T16:21:00.000-05:002008-06-16T16:21:00.000-05:00I like your idea, and if it wasn't for the fact th...I like your idea, and if it wasn't for the fact that we've already been given the changing table/station it would be what we would probably do. As far as the income for a stay-at-home mom...WOW! It's great that some articles/people can look at it like that. I'm glad to have inspiration/encouragement from other moms, it's hard when you feel like you have no one else who understands your family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326367789958194895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37249745.post-13338367278220092282008-06-16T16:18:00.000-05:002008-06-16T16:18:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for such inspiration!

Baby #4 is due in August for us, and we're hoping to do a yard sale soon, too. I know you've "done babies" before, so this may not be new to you, but we chose to find a decent dresser that we could put a changing pad on top of for the diaper stage, rather than go with the baby furniture (aka changing table) that would eventually be outgrown. Nearly all of our furniture was either given to us, purchased at a yard sale, or found on the curb on trash day, so trust that the Lord will provide you with exactly what you need.<BR/><BR/>One last comment, which really relates to your last post: I heard a snippet of a news story a short time ago that a stay-at-home mom would make over $134,000 a year if she were paid for all that she does. (I did find a link through Salary.com from doing a google search--the figures are from 2006), and that doesn't even include being a home-school educator! I didn't read the whole article, but what I gleaned from it is this: we're likely worth more financially than our husbands, and likely work longer hours as well. Just knowing that little bit of information makes me appreciate what I do a little bit more, even if most people think you do nothing but "stay home." So be encouraged: you WORK, you just don't get paid with money! And it's one of the most important jobs that a woman can do!<BR/>MerrileeMerrilee Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770625841767761025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37249745.post-80712321556656905812008-06-16T14:46:00.000-05:002008-06-16T14:46:00.000-05:00Melissa,Hang in there!

I just wanted to encourage you to not get so frustrated with your current situation, but to trust in the Lord, who knows all your needs, and IS the answer to all your needs. It sounds like you have plenty of people who are nay-sayers, but you need to focus on this very high calling that He has given to you, and trust that He knows what He's doing!

In our state we have to test the kids so I told them that the are doing fine. I even told them that if they are so worried about it that they should pray for us. The Lord will do what is right. Now you & I know what they will be praying for but you know how God feels about our children & homeschooling. <BR/><BR/>Now as for s/a/h you no as well as I do what they are missing. Tell them that you feel sorry for them at missing out on the best job you ever had. Our job isn't easy to being with. But we benefit from what the good Lord gave us. We sow our own rewards. Heck I think they are jealous of you any way.<BR/><BR/>Take care.

They can't make you change yours, can they?? :)Its best to just say that this is what you have CHOSEN for your family, that you all are very happy with the decision and just leave it at that.Explaining yourself over and over again to people who really don't want to hear your side will only make you more frustated. I think your children are very lucky to have you as their mom.<BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/>-AnnAnnKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354871377080637982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37249745.post-31534138821642604872007-11-16T15:47:00.000-05:002007-11-16T15:47:00.000-05:00Great idea.

I went to the Simplicity site and copied down the numbers for several patterns I'd like to have. I've been doing a lot of sewing, and I agree...no way could I afford $15 for a pattern.

We are leaving tomorrow for CA for 6 months (I will be having baby #5 there and staying with my parents while hubby is away). And wow--packing for four children, and all of our homeschool supplies, I have two in diapers, and a six hour flight ahead of us--just me and my kiddos--I will need lots of prayer!<BR/><BR/>I hope to "chat" with you more in the future. You probably have some good experience you can share with me. My hubby was on a ship the last time 5 1/2 years ago. This is his first deployment since then, and the first one not on a ship. It's a little different, but MUCH better than a ship!<BR/>I don't know when I'll be online again, but I hope to hear from you soon!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350216468530655812noreply@blogger.com
