After doing it, it still was, but we did learn some things. Using a food processor was a bit easier though. We had to put ours back in the fridge so we'll try to roll it out later. Maybe I'm just a slow cooker, because this class went fast. I was running around like crazy trying to help the kids...I prefer to take my time with cooking and baking especially if it's something new because I want to get it right haha. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UQRWwnv9wJc/X7107GUNwRI/AAAAAAAAsA8/v3U1dQ-fOOMapQyiZfRZ1SZ0qGbsDxNewCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_20201122_153934116.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UQRWwnv9wJc/X7107GUNwRI/AAAAAAAAsA8/v3U1dQ-fOOMapQyiZfRZ1SZ0qGbsDxNewCPcBGAsYHg/w400-h300/IMG_20201122_153934116.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fgyLYBgiUdY/X7107BJ3wXI/AAAAAAAAsA8/UD8IjBECrAAtGBJlUHsthjM1ROqJjFT5QCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_20201122_151131356.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fgyLYBgiUdY/X7107BJ3wXI/AAAAAAAAsA8/UD8IjBECrAAtGBJlUHsthjM1ROqJjFT5QCPcBGAsYHg/w400-h300/IMG_20201122_151131356.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JeAYggERdn8/X7107OWIGxI/AAAAAAAAsA8/SCi1Xulr_kIhFSnLh0gaqnIuUwf6MXhIgCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_20201122_151127972.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JeAYggERdn8/X7107OWIGxI/AAAAAAAAsA8/SCi1Xulr_kIhFSnLh0gaqnIuUwf6MXhIgCPcBGAsYHg/w400-h300/IMG_20201122_151127972.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Our <a href="https://www.dinneratthezoo.com/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-bread/?fbclid=IwAR2znNulgVelJejVLZgx8DrFxZqsg3kEy1_8jzBz6tMd8um5zktrKeqroKc" target="_blank">pumpkin chocolate chip bread</a> turned out great.

I'm so grateful for him. <br />The kids were pretty good.

I always relate to the start of Covid on St. Patrick's Day of this year because that's when I first started hearing things so it's been 252 days. It would be nice to be out of this in 3 more months or less, but 3 months I expect with winter months. I'm hoping for summer to be more back to normal. We will see. <br />Also my thoughts are if they lasted that long in a barge with 2 stone for light for that long, we can wear a mask. We can social distance. This is a test, another trial in life. Our Bishop shared AoF #12 when he re-emphasized the wearing of masks at church. Mandates are temporary laws. Once we through this, maybe there's more blessings to come like for the Jaredites. I know you could take these scriptures a lot of ways to liken them unto yourselves, but those were my thoughts this morning that I shared with my kids. <br />Remember growth hurts and requires change. We cannot grow if we are the same. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I've seen growth in my children just from the simple practice of reciting affirmations each day.

My daughter complained saying that she was more flexible. My oldest tried to explain different meaning of flexible. My daughter had to prove her physical flexibility though so we all practiced the splits and bridges/back bends. I did the best splits, but my daughter was able to get down into a back bend once and she can walk across the room while in the bridge position. It killed my back to try =D.<br /><br />Then we did the <a href="https://amzn.to/36LjbpO" target="_blank">Pull Up Bar</a> to see how many pullups and how long we each could hang. My daughter looks small, but she's pretty strong. She was able to do 4 pull ups and hang for 30 seconds. When I was a teenager, her dad and I could hang on the bar for 3 minutes plus. We definitely can't do that now haha. Our bar is pretty slippery so maybe we'll try again with gloves.<br /><br />Then the kids played outside.

The cookies needed to be in the oven for about 8 minutes, and then they tasted delicious. The lobster tails must not have been packaged well enough because they were waxy, not crispy/crunchy as I've heard them described. I tried twice to eat them wondering if they just weren't thawed all the way like the cake, and I had to spit it out and throw them away. Luckily, it was a gift card we used for this through my husband's work. I sent in feedback so we'll see. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FW9zmBhZiK0/X5ob39yx4ZI/AAAAAAAAphc/y4VUuvkd4rIyxiCLR6MqOgA-FHAOR-IlACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1768.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FW9zmBhZiK0/X5ob39yx4ZI/AAAAAAAAphc/y4VUuvkd4rIyxiCLR6MqOgA-FHAOR-IlACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/IMG_1768.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eRbJ_TS2yPA/X5ob4UEpOZI/AAAAAAAAphg/dI7jr4ofe_QXmj6fQmEmYrMlBIlAzf4uACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1774.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eRbJ_TS2yPA/X5ob4UEpOZI/AAAAAAAAphg/dI7jr4ofe_QXmj6fQmEmYrMlBIlAzf4uACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/IMG_1774.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2P-VRn57jX0/X5ob4nkYbMI/AAAAAAAAphk/bQq8gAqRv7ELpsAG9mVLal2nHsiHvKTCgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1784.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2P-VRn57jX0/X5ob4nkYbMI/AAAAAAAAphk/bQq8gAqRv7ELpsAG9mVLal2nHsiHvKTCgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/IMG_1784.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kgw3Dv1uPhQ/X5ob5RtoSbI/AAAAAAAAphs/vMOm3TLwxeogHrH773nVWWqbZzhaEHlRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1802.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kgw3Dv1uPhQ/X5ob5RtoSbI/AAAAAAAAphs/vMOm3TLwxeogHrH773nVWWqbZzhaEHlRQCLcBGAsYHQ/w266-h400/IMG_1802.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FW4GaF0e4qM/X5ob5f8BdQI/AAAAAAAApho/49UJgqueSgswFo5D5XIYewyfTpt5HRc5wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1809.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FW4GaF0e4qM/X5ob5f8BdQI/AAAAAAAApho/49UJgqueSgswFo5D5XIYewyfTpt5HRc5wCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h266/IMG_1809.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>THURSDAY<br /></b>Wii Sports was the main thing the kids did today.

Well I was called 2nd to share. I figured I would be. I had just posted on the Dressing your Truth, I Love My Life event </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">that I wanted to improve my relationship with my daughter. It's just always a power struggle. So I shared those sentiments on the mentor call, and Marlene asked further questions to get deeper to the heart of the matter. I shared about how my daughter fought me with reading this morning even though I tried to make it fun and try to give her choices. She's been asking about returning to public school next year and what it would look like and if that's what she wants I'm afraid she'll get held back and/or be so behind. With the support we have through our online charter, My Tech High, I would prefer they did homeschool, but I won't survive if my daughter and I keep butting heads. Marlene basically said I need to stop looking for Proof and Results and just let her lead so learning can be exciting for her. Then I was given the assignment to create my Homeschool Vision and what kind of person I want my daughter to look like around 18-20 years of age. (It took me back to when I learned Ideal Life Vision at Elevation with Tiffany Peterson). Luckily I've already thought about all of these things, but have been needing confirmations that this is right and this is still a good path. A<br /><br /><b>Thursday</b><br />I woke up early again at 5:30 and just started crying with some of these thoughts. <br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
hope I can learn how to balance this type of learning with her and
still support my son who does well with learning traditionally as well. I
hope to learn how to still teach consequences with this approach
because right now consequences just seem to be about power struggles too
even though to me they sound like natural consequences. But of course I
have no map for this. I have no support outside with friends or family.
I'm afraid of being judged thinking my kids aren't learning anything. <br />I should make a sign of <a href="http://www.thehomeschoolsupportgroup.com/" target="_blank">Miyagi Homeschool</a> to remind me. <br />I do feel God has led me on this path, but I'm getting tired of being hit with so many so changes so fast. Then I think about the <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng" target="_blank">Prophet</a> and how many changes he's made with the church so quickly and told us to take our vitamins. <br />I think about how in the scriptures so many had to stand alone in the right paths (I feel alone in this path for my family and I better learn fast or I will drown.)<br /><br />Here's a comment I shared on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1434786476826596" target="_blank">Latter-Day Homeschoolers</a> group where another momma posted a situation similar to mine. </span></span></span></span><br /></p><div class="ecm0bbzt e5nlhep0 a8c37x1j"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql rrkovp55 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id" dir="auto"><div class="kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">I

They were super chatty about their Among Us Halloween costumes, joking back and forth with their doctor, showing their muscles, sharing their favorite songs and singing "Watermelon Sugar High" and dancing. We love our pediatrician. He spent extra time with us though I'm sure he's busy. My oldest had to get shots which he wasn't happy about, but spending some time joking with the doctor helped him to not be as anxious. Though he did joke about hiding behind the chairs (just like he used to when he was little and terrified of doctors after all his challenging experiences with doctors at a young age).</span></span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0PKt6my3OE0/X4t2HCFOOPI/AAAAAAAAIvI/esPzEBG3bWEFh9huFANImrIF0Eg8DHvDACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20201015_141654237_BURST000_COVER_TOP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0PKt6my3OE0/X4t2HCFOOPI/AAAAAAAAIvI/esPzEBG3bWEFh9huFANImrIF0Eg8DHvDACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/IMG_20201015_141654237_BURST000_COVER_TOP.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;"> It was a blessing to hear those words from our doctor to give me some sort of affirmation that I'm doing okay with my kids especially now that we've been homeschooling for almost 2 months now and with all the fun mentoring. With homeschooling, you don't get Parent Teacher Conferences to hear how amazing you're children are and how well they've been doing in their classes. I'm used to results. I like results. It helps me track my progress and is easily visible. Emotions, spiritual promptings are hard to hold on to and remember sometimes even when you do write them down. Charts and spreadsheets help me....I guess that's my <a href="https://my.liveyourtruth.com/dyt/home/" target="_blank">Secondary 4</a> coming into play a lot. I guess I just need to rely on the Spirit more this year, but it's been a much harder year to hear with the chaos of the world. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">After their appointment, the building had a good space of brick wall for my picture. My oldest took several shots of me so I could send it in. Here's the picture I chose which I brightened up. My kids are pretty good with a camera and the basics. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; word-spacing: 0px;">You guys get the first look!

We played a few games of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V3NH51J/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=scrappydiva21-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07V3NH51J&linkId=4d5325b0084ca1c1f44fee0bf3705e92" target="_blank">Unstable Unicorns</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010TQY7A8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=scrappydiva21-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B010TQY7A8&linkId=91fc03d1cabb978f6caadba3c49df237" target="_blank">Exploding Kittens</a>. Then I tested the waters and had them practice Math Facts with Minecraft though my daughter preferred to do hers on the white board. Once they completed their math facts. My daughter practiced 7 and 8 multiplying and my son practiced 13 and 14. She did push a bit again, but eventually finished them so she could play Minecraft.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">My daughter has made 3-5 different houses, a farm, a Panda Express restaurant and more on Minecraft. <br /><br />Since they like Minecraft so much I've been searching today for some <a href="https://whenyouriseup.com/free-minecraft-challenge-cards-printable/" target="_blank">Minecraft challenge cards</a> and other <a href="https://education.minecraft.net/class-resources/math-subject-kit" target="_blank">educational activities</a>. <br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I tried to not feel guilty that I'm not seeing Proof of their learning right now especially since Fall Break was this week for many of their friends, little did they know ha. I'll probably let them have Fall Break on the Friday of my I Love my Life event and still keep things simple and maybe focus on the holidays, gameschooling, cooking, and service the rest of the year until I can get more mentoring. <br /><br />Here's a bit of my Homeschool Vision for my daughter right now. <br /><br />My daughter is self-reliant and a problem solver. She can cook a variety of healthy meals for a family. She is joyful and shares her light with others bringing smiles to their faces. She is creative through technology and the arts. She is capable in helping take care of the home with basic cleaning. She easily can do mental math to help with everyday life and interactions. My daughters asks for help when she is stuck or needs advice to move forward or confirmation she's on the right path. She seeks the Lord through prayer, scriptures, service, and church attendance. She finds joy caring for young children and interacting with her siblings and cousins. She is quick to apology when she realizes she did something hurtful. She stands up for friends and family and communicates effectively to share her ideas, thoughts and feelings. <br /><br /></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2W4LftAVHA/X4t_91l3TfI/AAAAAAAAIwE/mKr_mGBCfSgSt5nXN_AggRZYke1NVuyHgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_1234.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2W4LftAVHA/X4t_91l3TfI/AAAAAAAAIwE/mKr_mGBCfSgSt5nXN_AggRZYke1NVuyHgCLcBGAsYHQ/w266-h400/IMG_1234.JPG" width="266" /></a></span></span></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><img align="left" style="border: 0px none;" /></span></p><p></p>Crafty Mommy Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06589593382065606199noreply@blogger.com0
