Cooking and baking






In part of our home school I want to teach my children how to cook and prepare food.  I feel it is very important to know how to feed one self.  :)  So far my two oldest have offered to cook some of our meals for us.  I love it!Here is a pic of a mini corn that was found stuck to a regular corn on the cob.  The kids were excited that we got two for the price of one.  :)  Come to find out the mini corn didn't taste very well. :( boo!

No degree, no knowledge...What?

  Alright, I know it's probably floating around in your brains, or you've thought it at one point.  So I have to say this.  
"How is she qualified to teach her children?"
"What does she know?  She doesn't even know how to write."
"She didn't even go to college, how can she teach these children?"
  
  While in my early years, a few of my favorite subject to learn in my home school and through out my life, has been writing and reading!  Although, you may notice, or maybe I hide it well. LOL That I am no writer.  I know there are many grammatical errors, and misspellings in all of my posts.  But I do love to write, and I really try hard to do it right.  :)  I may not put the commas and periods in their rightful places. I may miss some spots to put them as well.  I was told, when applying to college, that I did really well with my writing, but I would do a lot of run on sentences.   Since then, I try really hard not too.  Although I do notice that I tend to do that a lot still!  

I know these things are good to know.  I know that when you are out in the world these things are important to know.  

But I also ask myself, almost everyday, "Would these things be as important to The Lord?"

NO!

Knowledge is great, and is good to get by in this world, but it will not get you into heaven.  

What will?

Love! and Charity!

The pure love of Christ. 

So, while I'm trying to teach my children, math, how to read and write the best I know how, the best I can, and also using online resources. :)  I'm also trying to teach them about Christ and his abounding LOVE!
