A Week of Firsts for Us... You might be shocked t

A Week of Firsts for Us...

You might be shocked to hear this, but I’ve never decorated my house for Fall and neither have we ever done pumpkin patches before. This was our first pumpkin patch and first time having some pumpkins around for decoration.

I wanted to set the tone for our Charlotte Mason Inspired Fall Retreat last week. By the way, it was amazing!!!

Being a missionary for almost two decades and seeing hunger like I’ve seen before, I always thought that using pumpkins for pure decoration was a waste of food. So we do plan on eating them all.

No, we don’t carve pumpkins either and have no intention to do it. My kids hate Halloween and everything to do with that. But that’s a conversation for another day...

This time of the year, we build and decorate our sukkah for Sukkot and celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for a whole week as we thank God for His goodness and faithfulness in our lives and look forward to Christ’s reign during the millennium.

While I love pumpkin everything and am sipping my pumpkin spiced protein shake as I type this, my kids refuse to even try it, with the exception of Hadassah who had a bite of my pumpkin roll with cream cheese icing this week and loved it! Oh, that recipe was so good!! I’ll be making it again this weekend for Thanksgiving.

Yep, it’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada.

I’m really hoping that having some pumpkins around and doing a unit study on pumpkins next week will encourage Ben and Ariella to try it somehow. I know they will love if they do and

I’ve been collecting so amazing pumpkin recipes, mostly for Brazilian dishes that taste like my childhood. Pumpkins are eaten year round in Brazil, it’s not a seasonal food.

What about you? Do you love all things pumpkin? Do you take your kids to a pumpkin patch every year? How about Sukkot? Do you celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles in your family?

First day of homeschool in the new house. #sograteful

We’re so grateful for beautiful nature trails and a park across from our house where we can go for nature walks and do our nature studies.

Today, our @apologiaworld Botany lesson was on vascular and non-vascular plants. My kids love this curriculum.

We’re grateful that we’re still near the water and out in nature. This family of ours wouldn’t survive in the city.

How was your homeschool day today?

🍁Bring it on all the Fall colours, smells, and tastes. 🥧

I want to eat pumpkin pancakes and apple pie with pumpkin lattes by the fireplace while watching the Charlotte Mason Inspired Fall Retreat this weekend!

Hundreds of homeschool moms will be blessed by the 11 live workshops @tatianaadurias and I have put together for them.

They will learn from @mylittlerobins @amy.e.fischer @themysteryofhistory @musicinourhs @dmmcvey @charlotte.mason.mama @deliberatemom @larasplace @minivanministries @tatianaadurias and @anawillis

We will talk about implementing Charlotte Mason’s principles into our homeschool lessons for Bible, math, history, nature studies, music, poetry, etc.

And learn how to make lesson plans and even how to organize our homeschool.

It will be a blessing!!

Home Is Where The Heart Is

It doesn’t matter how big or small your home is as long as love is what fills it.

🍁 CYCLES & SEASONS

Tomorrow is moving day for us.

A new season just started...

Leaves are falling and trees begin to display God’s creativity and glory with all shades of oranges, yellows and browns.

The river water levels are down and getting ready for the salmon to come up the stream.

We love watching nature’s cycles and seasons changing.

It reminds me that God has a purpose for it all and every change is good if you trust Him.

He has been gracious to us and have giving us an amazing sunny and warm week to enjoy our backyard before we move to the new house.

We’re so blessed to live out in nature and to enjoy watching wildlife year round here.

Yesterday, we counted 30+ Canadian geese, 2 blue herons and 2 bald eagles. 🦅

The salmon will be spawning here soon and this whole area receives the visit of thousands of eagles! It’s simply spectacular! No words to describe it. Pictures don’t fully capture it. After the salmon and the eagles season, comes the swans 🦢. It’s absolutely majestic!

Surely there is a season for everything and God makes everything beautiful in its time.
