Keeper's Club ~ Storytelling

Yesterday was our second Keeper's Club meeting of the summer, and our topic was "Storytelling". Our hostess had such a fun and appropriate activity for the girls. They colored puppet faces of characters from the story "The Little Red Hen".

Once they were colored and cut out, they were taped to craft sticks to be used as puppets.

Then the hostess read the book The Little Red Hen and the girls used their puppets to act out the story.

To earn their Storytelling pin, the girls have to do the following at home:

Tell one story from the Bible
Tell one parable of Jesus
Tell one story about a lesson that God taught you
Tell one story which illustrates a character trait such as honesty or truthfulness

In the next couple of weeks, we will be completing the requirements for our "Letters" and "Storytelling" pins. We have lots of work to do. But, the girls are really enjoying this club and the activities.

I highly encourage you to organize a summer small group for your kids, especially if your school-year homeschooling group is large (like ours). Believe me, it's not just a blessing for the kids. It's a double blessing for the moms.

A New Year, the Same Me

Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...
