This is a little Valentine's Day craft that we did this year, my kids love it because they get to snack on the suckers for dessert. This would make a great gift, or would look great on a teacher's desk, or at your office. It's really easy, and inexpensive too, and makes use of after-Christmas sales.

The supplies you…

I was at church today and I looked at the hand-out... guess what was on the front?

It was Hebrews 11:1 -- which is one of my favorite verses!(see side bar...)

Sounds like a God thing to me! LOL!

Trying to do it all, are you? I can relate. My life has been so busy lately and I don't even work a full-time job! (Unless you count being a wife and mother). I have 3 part-time jobs. I operate a beauty salon in my home. I teach piano lessons, and I own an Internet-based book business. Oh yeah, I also write two or three articles a week and Homeschool my kids! Today, most all of us are faced with a daily schedule that would have bewildered our predecessors.

The other day,…

I love to see parents with a heart for their children-not just their education, but their well being, their morals, their spirit life, all the parts that get clouded by the world. As one wise pioneer homeschool mom said:

"If all you do is disciple your children, your worst day homeschooling is
better than the best day at government or private school away from you."

Academics are important but not the *most* important. Without a proper
world-view and a spiritual foundatio…

Obviously, I did not get back in here last weekend as intended. This has been a very busy and blessed week for us. We did cover the letter "E" for Kid's Church last Sunday. We did Elijah. I wasn't sure that the story would hold the kids' interest but they loved it. They were fasinated by the idea of ravens delivering bread and meat to Elijah. We did some worksheets: a maze, counting ravens, finding hidden objects in a picture of Elijah and the ravens. Then we had a snack. I had printed and cu…

If anyone is interested I have a couple of links that I haven't seen mentioned yet. Of course, I'm sure I just might have missed them, but just in case.

homeschoolestore.com is an awesome site with weekly freebies (unit studies, lapbooks, ebooks) for various ages. They also have lots of downloadable items for extremely inexpensive prices.

Knowledgeboxcentral.com has more of the same, although they might not have freebies, but their prices make it worth checking out!…

Well today even I started to get confused about which site was which....I mean was I on my blog? The forums? or Little BLots? It's just too confusing having the same header graphic for multiple areas of the site, and if it's confusing for me, then I'm sure it's been confusing for you!

So that said, I spent some time coming up with a new name for these forums.....and Ta Da, we are no longer "Little Blots Forums"

We are "Little Junction" See my kids peeking out the train window! B…

Hello Friends,

This is my very first attempt at blogging. I'm not really sure what I want to do here. Maybe I can share my experiences with the preschool ministry at church. We have been working our way through the Bible A-Z, using Valerie's teaching resources as well as other books and files that I have saved on my PC. We did letters A,B, and C and then reviewed those lessons by making very simple lapbooks to take home. It was a little challenging because we have varying skill levels…

I guess that makes this my introduction huh? I am Valorie, a Christian stay at home mom. I love to write, in fact I am a part time freelance writer. I don't take on very many jobs because I'm also a homeschooling mom of 5. They're under the age of 8. That makes me really, really busy. In my free time (or lack thereof) I write about food, and homeschooling, and…

I just wanted to let you all know about this contest on Pastor2youth.com I recieve this email newsletter from them and this week, Ryan sent out an announcement of their latest contest. I know that there are a lot of creative people in this group, so if you have a second, check out the rules and see if you can come up with something fun! Who knows, you might be one of the five winners of over $2,000 in prizes.…

So I just started a new meme for my blog, and if your interested in lapbooking you'll definitly want to join this one! It's going to be lots of fun, and at the end of each month we'll all put together the lapbooks, and share what our children have created. To join in just read these instructions.....

Okay, so this week my children absolutly destroyed out felt board! They started playing with it, and ended up ripping off the felt from the board. I must say though, that it was about time for us to make a larger one anyway! We had one of those small ones that came with a set. We couldn’t even fit Old McDonnald’s farm on there, which was a big disappointment for my children…..who love the song, and love to put the characters up as we sing…..So, I went on a mission to make a new one…a big one……

Please welcome a very special guest to Little Blots blog. I was so excited this past month when I found a very special bible that is helping to teach my daughter to read. I just had to track do the author of The Learn to Read Bible, and thank her for her for all her efforts on this book. And you can imagine that I was beyond estatic when Heather agreed to be a guest here on my blog! Heather…
