how does your garden grow?

I wanted to let you know about a great new
resource we’ve found that mixes one of my favorite
Springtime passions – gardening and growing things!

The Erskine family has just opened their new site,
“Green Thumb Family”. It is the neatest blog, just
chock full of stuff about growing both great gardens AND great kids!
If you’ve ever wondered about integrating your gardening
with your homeschooling, here’s your answer!

You can check out the site at: www.GreenThumbFamily.com

But hold on, it gets EVEN BETTER!

I have been able to get something special for my friends.

The Erskines have put together a super “toolkit”
which currently has 14(!) great hands-on resources,
and more coming almost daily. You can see it on their
site, BUT DON’T ORDER IT THERE! We have a special page
set up where you can get the whole thing (AND all the
updates) at a nice discount for the next 10 days!

Here’s the page you’ll want to remember, it’s the only
place you can get the toolkit at a discount:

We highly recommend you check out the blog, then
get yourself a copy of this “toolkit” asap.
Spring is just around the corner, and this would be
a wonderful way to make it a great growing season,
both for your garden AND your family!

what are you wearing today?

You know our mood for the day is as much our choice as is what outfit we put on. The Word says,

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” (Colossians 3:12)

So we no longer have any excuses. If we CHOOSE to put on a purple sweater then we can CHOOSE to put on kindness. It is completely up to us. And if we get that purple swaeater dirty with pancake batter while cooking breakfast we can choose to go and change it and put on a prettier sweater. Just like if we slip up and say an unkind word we can stop, evaluate and CHOOSE to put on compassion with our kindness. And so on and so on.
