Thrift Schooling

  Pumpkin pies, scenic car rides, and hot apple cider. These are what first come to mind when I hear the word, “fall.” Fall takes me back to my childhood reminding me of the times we would rake leaves in my backyard and jump into them off of our back deck. I’m also reminded of the local football games where we would sit in the cold bleachers all huddled up under one blanket as we cheered on the home team. Seasons invoke certain memories. We attribute specific smells, tastes and feelings towards these seasons. As we encourage our children in their writing, we want to teach them to capture these feelings as they write. Here are ten writing prompts to get them started.

It’s 30 AD, and everyone is expectantly awaiting the coming Messiah. While Jesus isn’t exactly what they imagined, there is something special about this man. Soon, John, James, Andrew, Peter, and others begin to follow Jesus on an unexpected adventure. This beautifully animated story of Jesus is told through the eyes of his beloved young friend, the Apostle John. From the beginning of Jesus’ ministry through his crucifixion and resurrection, Light of the World  powerfully illustrates how Jesus of Nazareth changed the world forever and still changes lives today! Light of the World  releases in theaters Summer 2025. Watch the trailer today.

Homeschooling just got easier with this completely FREE downloadable meal plan that you can use this upcoming December. This simple and easy to navigate meal plan template is designed to help you make your homeschool day run a little but smoother. I left the weekends off because, let's face it, weekends can be unpredictable. Homeschool weeks can be too, but, having a plan in place (whether we stick to it or not) can put our minds at ease while preparing for the weeks ahead.  The way this particular template works is simple. Use this to plan ahead three meals a day, two, or even just one. Whichever meal(s) stress you out the most—plan ahead for them! This is great if you want to have your kids start making a meal or two a week. Plan lunches ahead of time, assigning them to your children. Or, plan all of your weekday meals to help ease the load of the craziness that homeschooling can often bring. Enjoy!

  Let’s remember that when the first feast was celebrated, much of the celebration stemmed from the fact that there was a successful harvest that year. The pilgrims who had traveled from a foreign land did not know how to tend the land properly to grow food for themselves. They needed the help of the locals and after some trial and error they succeeded. The celebration in fact was a celebration of life. For the ones that had survived, they had a renewed hope that they would be able to continue to not only survive but thrive in this new environment where they had hoped to call home. The food that they feasted upon was literally the fruit of their own hands.They not only gained food to sustain themselves but they now had the know-how.
