Oh, how we need our days filled with truth! We need to come to the table and eat the bread that YHVH has provided. I hope you have or are working on a routine that reminds you to spend time in the Word every day. I am super excited to

I have always enjoyed taking walks with my kids and teaching them the names of the flowers. Nature study is an integral part of many homeschools. We call it science. It can be as simple as taking walks outside with our kids and talking about what we see. It can
