Lunchtime//Homeschooling

I made grilled cheese and tuna sandwiches for lunch today. Sophie and Nathaniel were talking​ about how many pieces we were each going to get, since I had cut the sandwiches in half. This led to a discussion about fractions and then Sophie figured out 3x4=12 and 4x5=20 in her head! I am always amazed at how much she knows...she is so smart. I was working in her school book yesterday with her, and it's a Kindergarten book so it's not super challenging work for the most part, but I was surprised that she can read all the directions herself! She definitely got my photographic memory; she seems to need to sound out a word only once before she can just sight read it forever after. I'm so grateful and so blessed....she has made homeschooling fairly easy on me so far. And Nathaniel surprises me as well with how much he knows and how carefully he writes. I was feeling overwhelmed a few days ago about their schooling and what curriculum to use or send them somewhere....but it's going to be ok😊
Parenting makes me feel so inadequate sometimes, but I know God will bless my efforts as long as I seek to do things His way. The most important thing I can teach them about is the Gospel and salvation. And I love having them here instead of gone all day so that we have lots of little teaching/learning moments together. Not that I wouldn't love to have them gone some days...😏  I don't know what the future holds, but I will do my best now to teach them what's important, and try to enjoy this time with them.

My Fish Cakes Recipe -(Paleo)-

I am trying to incorporate more fish into my diet, and these delicious fish cakes are a new family favorite! They can be made with tuna or salmon, salmon having slightly more to offer nutritionally; high Omega 3 fats, vitamin D, and selenium. (and more!) Fish is so good for your brain and heart, and can improve your mood, weight, and overall health. Interestingly, the selenium in fish helps keep our bodies from absorbing the mercury found in fish! God's good design :) This article  explains that in more detail, if you're a "nerd" like me and love learning about food. Anyway, on to the recipe! Ingredients- 3 cans salmon, tuna or sardines 3 TBS mayonnaise 3 TBS coconut flour 3 eggs 3 tsp mustard 1/4 tsp salt pepper 1/4 cup chopped green onions (1) Open canned fish and empty into med/large bowl. The fish I use has no added water, so I pour all the juices in too, no draining! Try to keep the fish somewhat off to side. Add the coconut flour to the j...

Oatmeal cake, a classic recipe my mom would make when I was growing up. I have adapted it to suit my family's diet; it is gluten free, lower sugar, and I use pecans on top instead of cornflakes. It is so comforting and cozy to eat; the spices are warming and fragrant, and the texture is soft and moist. It is one of my favorite treats, and I'm so thankful to be able to enjoy it again with my family! A nice bowl of oatmeal, with molasses, chia seeds, cinnamon, cashew butter, butter, coconut oil, hemp hearts and soaked/sprouted pecans. I wasn't able to eat oatmeal for years, due to the pain and bloating it caused. But I'm thrilled to say that I have eaten it many times now with zero digestive issues. It's crazy and wonderful and my brain is still getting used to the idea of it being safe and normal, but every time I eat it, my brain gets a little more comfortable with it. I'm not scared, but I can hear my brain saying, "wait...I thought this w...

Energy Work//Christian Perspective

Psalm 66:16-20: "Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear. But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me!" I've had several conversations lately about some of the treatments I've received, mostly regarding the NAET treatments, so this has been on my mind... I just have a few things I want to clarify.  First and foremost, I want to make it very clear that I believe ALL healing is by God and for His glory. He alone gives life and breath and power. The Bible tells us this and I believe it is a foundational truth. Another foundational truth is that there is only one way for us to be right with God and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ; through His sacrifice and death on the cross and His Resurrectio...
