SEEDS & PUMPKINS
How much fun can kids have with pumpkins in a cold Autumn day? 🍂
I had a bad migraine all day yesterday and it was still lingering this morning. It was one of those days that we just need to slow down a bit more and stay inside. We started our day with Bible and worked on this week’s parashat activitivies in the kids’ @biblepathwayadventures workbook. Moved to our Seeds lesson on our @apologiaworld Botany and @raisinglittleshoots Exploring Nature With Children. The kids spent some time journaling about what they learned and drawing in their nature journals. Since we were learning about seeds, I thought it would be a good day to play with some pumpkins and let the kids watch it float, estimate the weights, cut some in half and count the seeds... you know how it goes! Living math is so much more fun! They had so much fun! Since we don’t carve pumpkins, this was a first for them, too. And of course, this mama got inspired and made some amazing pumpkin cinnamon rolls that my friend @jamerrillstewart taught me - BEST THING EVER!! Go to Large Family Table blog for the recipe. I honestly have never eaten such a fluffy and gooey delicious pumpkin cinnamon rolls like this before. Just between us, I made it twice in less than a week. Well, and I baked bread today, too.
How is your Autumn homeschool days going? We’ve been spending a lot more time on reading aloud, nature studies, and handcrafts these days. What have you and the kids been doing?

Let’s talk about handcrafts!
Why handcrafts are important?
-creativity
-imagination
-focus
-concentration
-fine motor skills
-hand/eye coordination
-gross motor skills
-mastering inactivity
-quiet time
And the list goes on and on...
My kids enjoy working on their crafts while I read aloud to them. Lately, we’re loving going through the stories and poems in The Children’s Hour from @rootedchildhood.

Friends, if you love doing art and crafts with your kids, you will love this!! Lots of projects to do with the kids!!

Do your kids enjoy doing crafts in the afternoon? How often do you add handcrafts into your homeschool/family time?

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!!
