helping you make Torah the heart of your home
FOR TODAY Outside my window…it is very dark. The goats are asleep under the bathroom window. I am thinking…how fun this post is to put together. I have been focusing on school alot lately and this has been a nice change of pace. I am thankful for…YHVH seeing fit
Hello to all of you using Torah School. I want to let you know that Lech Lecha and Vayera are ready to use. We have found some pretty exciting things. I have been learning so much right along side my kids, and revisiting some things I learned many years ago.
Welcome to my homeschool. I would like to give you a glimpse (okay, a thesis) of what Torah School looks like in our home. My children are 8, nearly 7, 5, 3, 11 months, and the youngest just got a heartbeat last week (7 weeks in utero.) Grades are fuzzy
As promised, some pictures of our sukkah! Daddy with Naomi and Sadie in front of our sukkah. We hung pine branches on the walls which the goats ate with great satisfaction. Our outdoor campfire, which kept us from being asphixiated by smoke in the sukkah. Yeah! The girls strolling across
Hello everyone. First, I want to make sure you read this wonderful post by Suzanne McDaniels on modesty and dress. I thought it was very well said and thought provoking. So go check it out 🙂 Second, I will post some sukkah pics, but I’m finding myself suddenly a bit
I call this month a success. Aside from Feast of Tabernacles, when we weren’t exactly in the house, the laundry was well maintained this month. My laundry room is actually clean at this very moment! So I am moving on to a new goal this month. We are going to
Happy Feast of Tabernacles to everyone! We hope you had as joyful a time as we did. Here we are in front of our sukkah, the whole family in the same picture! DOUG ELISHA HEIDI NAOMI HOLLY ISAAC SADIE I will be posting quite a bit about our celebration,
I am very excited to announce a resource center especially for homeschoolers desiring to use torah as their base for school. When you click on each torah portion, you will find ideas and links for every subject from art to history to science. Each idea is drawn from the torah portion.
I see many young ladies anxious to meet their prince. Would you like to hear how I met my prince, and how we made it to the wedding altar to share our first kiss? Read on! It all happened eleven years ago. I wore a childish denim jumper with sailboats on
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before YHVH. And, behold, YHVH passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before YHVH; but YHVH was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but YHVH was not in the earthquake: And
We are all enjoying some quiet at my parents’ house right now so I thought I’d share some photos. Our gathering was rather small, all extended family, but we enjoyed ourselves very much. Reading the torah portion together as well as an article about Yom Teruah Sadie coloring a picture
Wow! This must be a record for me. Every stitch of work I can dream up is done, the bills are payed, the food is put away, the kids are bathed, and everything is ready for our Yom Teruah celebration tomorrow. We’re just watching “Annie” while we wait for the
I just wanted to show a couple of pics today. In the background you can see the roof on the sukkah. In front you can see my new tichel from Sowers of Hope. Thank you very much! Elisha wanted to say hi too. Happy day, everyone!
In the last four years, Doug has become completely obsessed with Feast of Tabernacles. He tries to improve and design a better sukkah every year. It’s a challenge here in northeast Michigan. We’ve had rain, flooded tents, mud, “smoke” issues, freezing temperatures, flat air mattresses, etc. And we’ve never had
We all say it, but is it really true?Can we teach our children everything with our Bible and perhaps a few reference works? I thought I’d do a little experiment with next week’s torah portion and find out. Here’s what I came up with. I am assuming a methodical math
I have really been grappling with the connection between sin and sickness. Last week’s torah portion included Deuteronomy 28, 68 verses of blessings and cursings. If you obey you will be blessed. If you disobey, you will have miscarriages, plagues, terrible itch, boils, etc. It really makes sense when you
I thought it would be helpful to join Mama’s Mission of the Month. I have a very simple goal to accomplish in September. Laundry. I want to get a load in every day except Shabbat, and actually have it put away the same day. So there you have it. A
Okay, it’s embarrassing. I’m supposed to be the teacher. But today my six year old was. We were supposed to go to the sawmill and pick up some slab wood. My husband is working on the roof of our sukkah. I failed to call ahead as I was supposed to,
My mind has been going a bit deep lately. I’ve been completely engulfed in trying to learn who YHVH is and how to trust Him for everything. He is slowly showing Himself to me and He is ever faithful. But I still live on this planet, and I thought I’d
My heart is very full tonight. I had hoped this would be my last post on healing, but it is not to be. YHVH told me to make an appointment with my OB when I began praying for healing. I went to see her today, and fully expected her to
