HolyGhost Homeschoolers Recognition Night




Praise the Lord!

Last Monday , April 19 was the First Annual HolyGhost Homeschoolers Recognition Night! I was so excited!

The HolyGhost Homeschoolers is the name our homeschool group in the church. We co-op different subjects together, we attend field trips together, and do Christmas parties and different activities as a collective group. We formed the group 2 years ago, but this was the first year we did a Recognition Night.

The ceremony was beautiful and the kids had such a great time. This year, I was voted "President" of the group.As the president of our homeschool group, I had the honor of organizing the recognition night for the homeschoolers. Basically, each individual school ( in most cases the "mom" ) turned in the accomplishments for their students for the year. Awards received for the night included, Bible Quizzing Participation, Field Day, Math Excellence, Reading Achievement, and Spanish Level 1 Completion, among other awards.

The special guest speaker was my pastor's wife, Sis Griffin. She has homeschooled all 6 of her children and is currently enrolled in college to finish her bachelor's in Elementary Education. She did a great job encouraging the kids to always keep God first in their studies and all that they do in life.

My children received several honors that evening:


S.R. , my oldest girl (4 years old) - Bible Quizzing Gold Award for memorizing the most verses from the Book of Acts , Spanish Level 1 Completion ( she also completed the adult spanish conversation course with me ! ) , Math Excellence and Reading Achievement ( she will be in the 1st grade in the fall at 5 years old! She is super excited!)

L., my middle girl ( 3 years old) - Bible Quizzing Bronze Award for memorizing 30% of the required verses from the Book of Acts, Spanish Level 1 Completion ( she also completed the adult spanish conversation course with me! Her spanish is better than her english! ), Math Participation and Reading Achievement (She will be enrolled in kindergarten in the fall, she is doing very well reading 3 letter words! I am so proud of her.)

And Last but certainly not least,

B.W (1 year old) - He is successfully participating in potty training! Now that may or may not sound like an achievement to you, but in OUR House, we are COMPLETELY potty trained by 23 months! So, he is pretty much on track. I like to make that a milestone for the beginning of their academic career. I'll post more on that later :)

Overall, the night was a dream come true. I am still in awe that it all happened and the ceremony really was beautiful. God truly had His hand in everything. We sang the National Anthem and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. It was really an emotional night for me.

Ciao!

Praise the Lord! I am so excited that the snow is slowly melting away. Now it's time for those winter pounds to melt away with it ! LOL ! At church we have really been talking about putting together a team so that we can encourage each other as we work towards our weightloss goals. So join the team! Whether you have a gym membership, the Wii Fit, or some other form of exercise regimen join us as we are committed to TEN together! "How do I commit to Ten?" Great question! Well, just post in the comment section below this article that you will join and put your goal weight loss in pounds. For example, 2LT Mom 7 lbs . Then every Sunday night post your weight loss progress under this post. Our goal is to lose 10 lbs each week for 8 weeks as a team ! For those who become team members ( and even those closet team members that follow us on the Down Low ) , we will have weekly challenges to keep you encouraged and motivated! God Bless! 2LT mom

Her Hair, His Glory: Ebay Flowers and Headbands

Praise the Lord ! Just wanted to show everyone a new hairstyle. My mother-in-law sent me some flowers and headbands from E-bay and I have been experimenting with them and different hairstyles. Tell me what you think! I love how the girl's hair turned out! This was a "curler" week. That means that I not only did a two-strand twist style, but I also put rollers on the ends of the hair to give them added body and curl. My product of choice for these styles is Twist and Loc gel on very wet, freshly shampooed hair. After styling, the ends were curled with rollers and then the style was set using a hood hair dryer. My girls were so excited and so was I! To maintain this style, simply tie a silk scarf over the hair at night and remove in the morning :) Easy! Total styling time ranged from 45 mins ~ 90 mins including washing, (deep) conditioning, detangling, and styling. Then dryer time was approximately 20 minutes. Just FYI for those who were wondering. I surveyed my neighbor,

Hey there! So apparently I took a two year hiatus from blogging. Which I find interesting because, I haven't taken a "hiatus" from life! In these short two years, I have managed to have three more children...a set of twins and a singleton, help my husband finish his PhD (yes, by the way, I am now officially married to a Dr. and we now have more band-Aids in our house than I think any individual will EVER use! LOL ), become a free lance copywriter for a Malaysian company, perform the national anthem in our community parade of nation twice (oh , and I was officially asked to do it again this year! So excited!), and in between all that I managed to take care of my family. Anyway, just wanted let you know that I am BACK! And there is so much to catch up on ! So Follow Me... the day in the life of 2LT Mom :) Ciao!  2LT Mom This is a picture from a recent wedding we attended ... that's all six of my kiddos and our little friend, Red :)
