God is so gracious to allow us to teach our precious children at home and to give us the control over what goes into their innocent minds. I love the idea of multi-tasking and having them help with laundry or other chores while they listen to something edifying/educational. These moments will become precious memories to them later on, and they won't even realize they are "learning" as they make those memories!!! God bless you as you continue to bless so many of us through this blog and your words of encouragement and suggestions.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-86441149864099523302014-09-28T15:03:55.232-05:002014-09-28T15:03:55.232-05:00These are some valuable ideas.These are some valuable ideas.Mrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-90251188987661774072014-09-28T09:48:59.465-05:002014-09-28T09:48:59.465-05:00JES- I didn't homeschool our son but books wer...JES- I didn't homeschool our son but books were a huge part of his life and still are. I taught him to cook when he was around 10. He would stand on a milk crate and stir a sauce. <br />He's 35 now and is a wonderful cook.<br />There weren't Mp3's to listen to books and he would listen to classics at night on tapes. I can't tell you how many tapes I have and now no one wants them!<br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628413352470601979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-15874189736031270592014-09-27T22:47:15.339-05:002014-09-27T22:47:15.339-05:00Great tips!

Recently I have checked some out from the library to listen to while we drive as we recently moved farther away from town. We have enjoyed that and it makes the drive go quickly.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-76853369523417039312014-09-27T20:08:15.896-05:002014-09-27T20:08:15.896-05:00Wonderful ideas; thank you!

Wonderful for the new homeschool mom, but also for those who are seasoned and get into a rut or forget what got them there...which I have done many times.<br />I pray you are all well as you go into your warmer weather season. I certainly wish we were closer (like real neighbors) somehow!

The following month, she does the dinners and I do the lunch.. She ASKED to do this so she could learn meal management and preparation. It is a blessing to me and her cooking has surpassed mine! Needless to say, she gets an "A" in home economics!JEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300505126646960374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-37833884642079156652014-09-26T14:06:58.878-05:002014-09-26T14:06:58.878-05:00Great advice, especially #1, #2, #4.
