School Books
As a home school family do you really ever stop buying books? I really don't mind, seeing I love to shop :) I have become more frugal over the years which I am proud of, but I still can't pass up great books. When my daughters ask for reading books and items that will help them grow in their faith, I melt. I can't help it I love to learn new things, and I love the fact that my daughters love God and homemaking. So, my daughter came up to me and said she was ready for another reading book. She looked at me and asked if we could order from Vision Forum. I was so excited and of course said yes.
Here is what we picked out-
The Kathleen Collection
And for my oldest daughter, who will be 12 in April.-
Homestead Blessings. She picked this out herself. We will learn how to sew together and I can't wait.
When you place any size order from now till January 31st you will receive free Building A Winning Curriculum. I am in the middle of reading this book and it gives you a load of information. Even if you don't base your life around schooling your kids like I do. It helps you understand what you are buying, what age it is recommended for, and how to use the book.
Example-
Fathers & Daughters: Why Every Father is Leaving a Legacy
First, there is an explanation of the title, followed by how you might use this book within your own home.
Second the format of the resource.
Third what age the resource is for.
Blessings,
Pamela

Whats For Dinner Mom...
I felt so bad that at 4:30 last night I had forgot to make dinner. My husband and I have kind of lost track of days and time since he has been laid off. Well, mom came to the rescue and I made Nachos. The girls and hubby love them, and they are so easy to make. They taste better in the summer with fresh ingredients but we managed. So here is what I used to make Nachos last night. You can make them so many different ways, the ideas are endless.
Organic meat 3lbs (add an Organic Onion, Organic Garlic, and your spices.)
Organic Corn Chips
Organic toppings - Black Olives
Lettuce,
Avocados
Tomatoes
Final touches- Organic Sour Cream, and Jalapenos.
We used to make 1 huge plate of Nachos for the whole family. Now, we have more little ones, and everyone likes different things on their Nachos. In the past I have also set up a Nacho table where you can dress up your own. It is so much fun to watch the little ones pick what they want, and the get so excited.
Here are some other ideas for Nachos
BBQ Chicken Nachos
Fajita chicken Nachos
Steak Nachos
Fish Nachos
Seafood nachos
Cheese Nachos
Plantain Nachos with Black Beans (from a great cookbook, Cooking the Cowboy Way: Recipes Inspired by Campfires, Chuck Wagons, and Ranch Kitchens
)
Sausage and Sour Kraut Nachos (for the Polish man in my life)
Greek style Nachos (with lots of Feta)
Chili Dog Nachos
Dessert Nachos
Don’t forget refried beans, and Spanish rice.
Can you tell we love food in this house, What a gift from God.

2011 Family Bible Study
Day 15 and 16
Remember to ask the Lord to guide you in this study
Day 15
What is the Bible trying to tell us when it says, God is a jealous God?
God makes it very clear in these next verses.
Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. ~ Exodus 34:14
Part of the Ten Commandments
God spoke all these words.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
You shall have no gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. ~ Exodus 20:1-6
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. ~ Deuteronomy 4:24
Day 16
How do I know that God will keep his word?
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. ~ Deuteronomy 32:4
For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. ~ Psalm 33:4
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them - the LORD, who remains faithful forever. ~ Psalm 146:5-6
Blessings,
Pamela
