Worthy Quotes

Motherhood is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in; it is what God gave you time for.

"Oh, Mothers of young children, your work is most holy. You are fashioning the destinies of immortal souls. The powers folded up in the little ones that you hushed to sleep in your bosoms last night, are powers that shall exist forever. You are preparing them for their immortal destiny and influence. Be faithful. Take up your sacred burden reverently. Be sure that your life is sweet and clean." - JR Miller

Your greatest contribution to the kingdom of God may not be something you do, but someone you raise.

-Andy Stanley

Field Trips

We will be posting field trips and other upcoming events on this blog. An RSVP will be required to all events.

We do ask that if we have an event, field trip, or class, that you only bring your home school children. Others will not be allowed as a courtesy to those providing the event for us. Also, we would like to keep a high standard of conduct on our field trips and other events. Please make sure your comments and attitudes reflect a positive tone and demeanor. Please also make sure that your children are watched and controlled during activities. We want everyone to have the best experience possible.

Thank you!
