We do have a lot of the "Little Jewel" books. I like that they show a life very much like ours -minus all the brothers and sisters :) And even though the Momma's headcoverings are different than mine, at least she's wearing one. <BR/><BR/>I've found a new use for your ranch spice. Have you ever used it with a sourdough? I made ranch sourdough buns last week and everyone LOVED them. Thanks for all the great recipes.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015659430842427691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-3959939259901930592009-03-26T00:13:00.000-04:002009-03-26T00:13:00.000-04:00Hope you get some good deals on fabric, I'm no...Hope you get some good deals on fabric, I'm noticing that prices are going up. I think that the fabric companies are cashing in on the fact that more ladies are shopping for fabric/yarn/ and craft items. <BR/>Yep! All R&S, it is handy that CLP offers some of their items, since they are online. Colored pencils are another thing we have a bunch of too. They work really great on the pictures that have tiny features, some of the coloring books for the older children have small pictures. R&S has some awesome coloring books, about nature, farm life and of the course the Bible. We have most of them. Both of the girls have coloring (with crayons) as part of their daily subjects, the boys do "art" once a week right now, but every now and then they have a subject that includes coloring. It has really taught the children patience and neatness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-14347355316337505262009-03-25T20:45:00.000-04:002009-03-25T20:45:00.000-04:00I miss my girlie so much. The RNP was in Mom'...I miss my girlie so much. The RNP was in Mom's town today, so after my appointment I called on the cell and drove by the house. Ella was at the front door waving and shouting "I love you Mommy" :) As much as I'm missing her, I don't want Ella to catch this latest cold. It's really knocked out Daddy and me.<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize those books were R&S. They sure have some good looking programs. Thanks for the marker tip. I've never been a marker fan. Give me 84+ pencil crayons and I'm a happy camper :)<BR/><BR/>Fabricland had their big "Members Only" sale starting tomorrow. I'm going to use my HS conference admission money and buy my "little weed" some new material. We are running out of clothes. Ella doesn't have enough dresses to make it between laundry days.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015659430842427691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-17141149133146942592009-03-25T18:27:00.000-04:002009-03-25T18:27:00.000-04:00I used alot of CLP and R&S in my homeschooling...I used alot of CLP and R&S in my homeschooling. Howard and Barbara Bean sell both, they are a wonderful mennonite couple who usually are at the booksale at the conference. Are those the "Little Jewel" books in the back row, if not, you should check them out they're great, when Ella gets older there is a wonderful series of books called The Millers that we loved. R&S, CLP and another great one is Pathway Publishers will all send you a catalogue if you request one. Pathway makes a great series of readers.<BR/>Blessings<BR/>NikiNikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943301163903634325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-18033597375476177142009-03-25T15:19:00.000-04:002009-03-25T15:19:00.000-04:00All of the books you've got are published by R...All of the books you've got are published by Rod and Staff! They are amazing! Christian Light is just a seller of them. Emmalie started with all the books in the back row (she was past the first row when we "found" R&S :( ) They really got her off to a great start, as I am sure they will Ella too! <BR/><BR/>We still use "Bible Stories to Read" I ordered second coloring books for the girls! Have Ella use crayons (vs. markers), it will help her handwriting later on, and markers show/bleed through the pages to the picture behind.<BR/><BR/>I do think you will be fine without the conference, you'll grow with Ella and God will give you what you need when you need it.<BR/><BR/>You must be missing your girl a ton by now! Hang in there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
