St. Patrick History
We love to celebrate St Patrick's day usually we make cookies, do crafts, and read about the life of St Patrick.
whom he had studied under for years.
and has been associated with him and the Irish since that time.
In His Footsteps: Patrick was a humble, pious, gentle man, whose love and total devotion to and trust in God should be a shining example to each of us.

Home School Business
Family Entrepreneurship And Home School Business
Is anyone interested in getting their teens and family involved with owning and selling their own product online? WAIT PLEASE JUST READ THE REST!
I am not trying to sell you a business opportunity heck no we don't like those, and I would never ask you to join one!
What I am talking about is the real world of business and entrepreneurship, and learning some great skills.
We have a course that my husband created to teach about how to use hosting accounts and set up private label rights products or master resale rights products, like software and information products. We also have affiliate programs that pay 75% commissions which is free to do, all someone needs to do is learn about marketing and advertising.
Being a entrepreneurial homeschooling family our self and in business for many years we understand the value of real world business skills, and getting our kids started early is key to their future. In our home we talk about business and how to make money all the time and our kids are still young but we want to instill an entrepreneurial spirit in them so they can have more choices in their life to choose what ever it is they want to do. They will not have to have a job and worry about loosing it they can create income in any situation and any economy and do it ethically.
If this is something you and your homeschooling family is interested in and would like to learn I will let you in the course for free just give us a testimonial for our site that will help us out for the launch..
It will be a great learning experience for the whole family and you could even make some money later as you learn more..
A win win situation!
Let me know if I could help, we love to help families and the Internet is growing faster than our kids so we need to keep them informed of were the world of business and entrepreneurship is moving!
Are you ready for your home school business education?

Inspirational Lyrics
Every bursted bubble has a glory!
Each abysmal failure makes a point!
Every glowing path that goes astray,
Shows you how to find a better way.
So every time you stumble never grumble,
next time you'll bumble even less!
For up from the ashes grow the roses of success!
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success!
For every big mistake you make be grateful!
That mistake you'll never make again!
Every shiny dream that fades and dies,
Generates the steam for two more tries!
There's magic in the wake of a fiasco!
It gives you that chance to second guess!
Then up from the ashes grow the roses of success!
From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success!
Disaster didn't stymie Louis Pasteur! No sir!
Edison took years to see the light! Right!
Alexander Graham knew failure well,
he took a lot of knocks to ring that bell!
So when it gets distressing it's a blessing!
Onward and upward you must press!
Till up from the ashes grow the roses of success.
Peach Roses
Peach roses portray feelings of gratitude, admiration, sociability, success and friendship.

Have A New Kid By Friday
I always thought that I would never have a kid that thinks he runs the show.
I always new that I did not want to parent my kids the way my parents did.
Growing up we always ran the show and we did pretty much whatever we wanted, we still had rules and such but mostly got our way. As a result of that which I have come to know as permissive parenting my younger sister and I resorted to rebellion and lack of respect for our parents or little of it.
Now I have two boys and WOW! It is not as easy as I thought, the good thing is I am not as permissive as my parents were. Reading the book however I now know that I am a permissive/authoritarian parent which is not good either and the reason why I need to read this book in the first place lol!
Here are some of the things I am learning in this book so far and you will learn too.
I learning in this book that it is not OK to ask kids questions this leads to defensive behavior instead only ask open-ended statements.
And always say "tell me more about that" instead of "why would you like/do that", "that song is stupid" or "that is silly". Instead be interested in what your kids like and join in and have a relationship with your kids.
If you don't like something your kid does say something like "I don't think it is for me personally but I would like you to tell me more about it, it sounds interesting", and actually have a conversation with the your kids.
Something I need to work on is, it is OK to disagree but not OK to be critical, argumentative, confrontational and I think that is key.
He says you want to be a authoritative parent not authoritarian parent or permissive. Both permissive and authoritarian parents are only setting kids up for rebellion.
He explains all that in the book and how to know what type of parent you are.
Anyway just what I am learning in the book Have a New Kid by Friday and it applies to us all and is just good info on how to get along with others.
This is a great book so far I started it on Sunday, I have read three chapters and look forward to tomorrow to read another.
I will do another post about this book later thanks for reading.
To Your Families Success!
