We haven't done much research on my husband's ancestry, but I can tell you that his father's father was named Ralph Flanders and was from Albany, NY. Does that ring any bells? We love the Carolinas, but don't know of any kinfolk out your way. We do have an Abby Flanders in the family though -- our 12th-born is named Abigail Rose. Blessings, Jennifer Hi, Abby.

It was funny how many activities were the same for us:). Even down to the VCR Richard Scarry videos! Good reminder and good list-- never had put it down that distinctly. I have 4 children and live nearby- saw you on TACHE. 14 down to 2:-). Thanks Again, Sherry Thanks for the homeschool toddler/prek info:-). It was funny how many activities were the same for us:).

We use Saxon for math and Apologia for science. We've been thoroughly pleased with both and have found them to prepare our kids well for CLEP exams and college level work. For Language Art, we've done different things at different times. For early readers, I've used Pathway readers along with the corresponding workbooks. In middle elementary, I've used Easy Grammar and Daily Grams. On the years we've done Sonlight, our Language Arts was fully integrated and we've just done that. I also like Learning Language Arts through Literature and have used that program some years. For spelling, I've tried lots of different things, too, but my absolute favorite is Sequential Spelling. I've had lots of questions like yours and hope to put up a more detailed list, so check back later for a "Recommended Curriculum" page under our homeschooling tab. Blessings on your school year! I wish you much success and family togetherness as a result :-) Hi, Tonia. We use Saxon for math and Apologia for science.

I have to say thank you first because your husband gave me an epidural during my first pregnancy when I had nothing but back labor! He talked about you and your children. He said he never had to administer an epidural to you and I thought then how strong of a woman you must have been. Then he told me how many children you had and I was again amazed at your strength. I now see it comes from your strong faith. I just started homeschooling my two boys which are 11 and 10, 6th and 4th respectively. My question to you is do you have some suggestions on curriculum. I know all children are different and that what you may use might not work for mine. My main concern would be math, science and language arts. I want to make sure they are not going to just get by but excel in these areas. I have been reading and everyone has a suggestion, when I started reading about your children and your math degree I thought you would be an expert in this field. Could you please share with me your suggestions for curriculum? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hi,

I had done and said some thing to my husband that I knew wasn't right and I did say I was sorry but I had crushed his spirit and for 2 days he was cold to me. I know I deserved it but my heart cried out to God during those days and I was praying that the Lord would show me what he expected of me as a wife, and how to be a godly wife for my husband. I have read a few book on marriage and I would change for 2 weeks and things seem to be going well,and then I would slip into my old ways again. We have been Married for 13 years and 3 children. My husband would always say to me" I don't want a good marriage, like everyone else,I want a great one". At the time that just seem like a lot to ask for. I thought our Marriage was pretty good. Well we made up and 3 days later a older lady I knew came up from Arizona to see her children which were close friends of ours. I was throwing on a baby shower for her daughter-in -law and when she arrived she handed me a gift. Well it was your book that she gave me. I didn't pick it up for a few days but when I started to read it God really showed me what I was doing to my marriage and how I had not been obeying him. I didn't know I was sinning. I repented and right away I started to change my attitude towards my husband and not making my comments. I started to play with him and never turned him down for sex . That week he told me how much he felt loved and for supporting him with a new business opportunity that could be very big for him. God used some one all the way from Arizona,with your book to answer my prayers. I just wish I had read this book before I got married ,but I have a daughter myself and now I can show her how to please her Lord and her husband in her marriage. Thank you!
