Take a breath..... No, a deeper one..............

That was better! Now we can continue.

Have you noticed that the simplest of things can have the most complex explanations?

For example: "Mama, where does rain come from?", "Mama, how does rain turn to snow?", "Mama, where do babies come from..." Ahem!!! TOO SOON! Moving on.....

The beauty of homeschooling comes from the ability to take those questions and explore the answers together. It creates an excitement in the hearts of little ones in being able to have a say to add in things that they are interested in learning and gives them the desire to learn more!

Yesterday we left the worksheets, reading, and chores to go in search of snow. In Phoenix we get snow very rarely and it doesn't last long. So we left our normal routine and spur the moment decided to go in search of some snow as we had had some strong storms. Shaking up the routine for a wonderful experience that they can feel and touch to get questions answered can be the perfect way to teach. Now we can learn more about weather and how the seasons and temperature effects the precipitation. Yay for hands on science!

Homeschooling is all about giving them a firm foundation to build on and using that to help them explore and learn new things in the way that they learn best. Each lesson is tailored to them and they get one on one time with their parent. And sometimes that time includes some snow ball fights!

Active learning is one of the best tools in your toolbox, so don't let it sit there gathering dust!

Now go out there and explore with your little explorer!

Mom Life!

Here we go again..... this was my feeling with the extreme emotions and deep feeling reactions my 2nd youngest went through daily.

I started to monitor when they happened and noticed she would sometimes get a red rash around her mouth as well.....I knew something was off.

This led to extra monitoring, documentation, etc....and realizing that she reacted every time we had a wheat heavy meal. So we started to eliminate a large portion of wheat/ gluten heavy meals from our diet. Her extreme emotional reactions began to calm and her rash would appear less.

We made a doctor appointment and he said the best thing to do was to change our diet.

Let me tell you, there is nothing like confirmation for what you were pretty sure was wrong and have been monitoring. Especially when as a mom, I know that I know my child the best.

Do you listen to your intuition? Your gut? Or as I like to call it in my case, mommy gut?

I have come to see this as one of God's gifts to us. The ability to sense when something is off, to feel the Holy Spirit leading us, to have the deep feeling that you know something is bothering your little ones and there is something that can help them you just have to search it out and pray to figure it out.....

I have done this on many occasions for my little ones. And there has been some fun and strange situations. But through it all, through observation, mommy gut, evidence based documentation, and throw a couple doctor visits in there too, God has lead me to many solutions for my family.

The process is not always the same and each solution has been different, but that amazing God given and God lead instinct, mommy gut, is an amazing tool that has helped me to resolve some interesting situations in my family.
