Anyone else needing a little Mommy Inspiration??

When I'm having one of those days that I wonder if anything will go right. Days when I feel overwhelmed and tired. Wondering why I do all I do, and feel like my days are spent and gone, and like I'm still so far behind. When I'm having one of those days, I find extra time to spend reading my scriptures, and anything inspirational, to help me get feeling better. Another thing I truly love during those times is music! I love inspirational, easy going, religious songs, and of course hymns. I've heard this song before, but it never hit me, until a few years back I attended a homeschool support group meeting, and a youth sang this song to us. I don't think there was a dry eye in the place!  
WHO YOU ARE, by Hilary Weeks has been one of my favorites lately, and here's why.
(Just read the lyrics below)
 
 
I know you wonder
If you'll ever have a day
Where the kids stay calm, the laundry's done
And the dishes are put away

And sometimes you feel like
Your days are spent and gone
And the question running through your mind
Is what have I gotten done
And when you finally have a moment to slow down
At the end of your day I know Father would say

Believe in what you're doing
Believe in who you are
And hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God
Believe in who you're becoming, believe in who you are

Now it might seem simple
All the little things you do
But the lives you touch matter so much
And there's no one else like you

And Father needs you to stand tall and faithful
To be all you can be
Oh, if you could see what he sees

You'd believe in what you're doing
You'd believe in who you are
So hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God
Believe in who you're becoming, believe in who you are

And when its hard to believe in yourself
And you feel like you're beginning to doubt
Remember

That he believes in what you're doing
He believes in who you are
So don't lose sight of the truth that you're a daughter of God
That he believes in who you're becoming, He believes in who you are
 
And here is a YouTube video with the lyrics! 
I can honestly say I've seen a few of these scenes in my life.  :)
However I wished I could find one with just a nice relaxing picture.... maybe someone will make one of those! (Hint...HINT!!)

Simple Morning Time Geography, for the whole family.....

In our Morning Time we will be reading some fun and educational picture books to begin our family geography lessons. Yes I'm just starting this now, in March.... sometimes that happens. We've been studying geography in both our Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, and also our Mystery of History Lessons, so I don't actually feel bad about this! First up, for our World Geography.  I decided to start with a general world geography book. I chose  Somewhere in the World Right Now by Stacey Schuett.  This book is alot of fun. It discusses different geographical areas, showing some amazing pictures. It mostly talks about the time zones and international date line. I thought that would be a nice introduction, and something we haven't really discussed a lot. We started our week off with this beauty, on Monday. After we finished our morning time, and headed to our school room. You see, we meet on our couches, in our family room for a lot ...

Homemade bread for our large family

making bread has been a huge part of my life as a mother... here’s the problem, don’t start making homemade bread, unless you plan on doing it forever!!! Once you eat homemade bread, it’s didficult to eat store brought breads!!! Even some of the nicest, most expensive, they just seem so dry and bland.  That being said, I can make all our bread for our family of 11 (currently in the house) in about 15 minutes! (Not including the rise and bake time) I usually make it on the weekend, and then again around Wednesday or Thursday each week. Whenever I make it, I incorporate it into our dinner that night. Usually making 3 or 4  loaves of bread and 1 pan of rolls- for dinner. You see if you don’t do that, you’ll end up eating all of it the first night, right!!! No one can resist hot, fresh, homemade bread- especially with melted butter!!! 💖 So here’s the recipe, I know you’re all dying to have!  This should make about 5 loaves of bread, or a mix of bread and r...
