"Praise the LORD.  Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.

 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 

praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe,

 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals."  Psalms 150:1-5

Parents Magazine Article & Interview

Greetings Friends!

Just thought I would share the October issue of Parents Magazine?  They had an article on alternative schooling methods, including homeschooling!  It was a surprise when I was contacted to share our reasons and methods of homeschooling :)  We were one of several families interviewed.  I was so blessed and excited to share our family's input!  My interview was an hour long which was really FUN and I did not realize how much information I had to share until I got off the phone and looked at the time that had passed!!!  If you would like to read what Parents' Magazine wrote, I have included the link to the article, pages 18-19.  You should be able to access by clicking  http://www.mirabelsmagazinecentral.com/digitaledition/index.html?id=5481c34f-a4ef-4780-af94-b4aace89ec73.

I pray this article and the information included is a blessing to you and to families interested in homeschooling their children.  Praying your year is going well and that JOY fills your home(school)!!!

Joyfully,

Kim
