Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. Happy Thursday! I found a bunch of old blog posts, written on days when I was especially tired, where I gave ideas on how to be present with my children despite my fatigue. I am hoping they will help you plan ahead for the
inevitable hard times. My goal is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. I love a good cup of coffee (brewed like this), but if some other drink is more your style, I'm sure that will work. The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of joy.
Daily Bible Verse"He makes me to lie down in green pastures."

Nature Walk Scavenger HuntBy Anne Elliott, September 11, 2009, AnneElliott.com
This week our children went on a nature walk to a nearby “forest” that our school district sponsors. It’s a beautiful sanctuary, not far at all from our house. Because I hadn’t been feeling so well, I decided to send them on a scavenger hunt, with a list of what to
take and what to find. Read More

Notebooking is an idea with which I have a love-hate relationship. I love it because it provides my children with a creative outlet, it requires that they regurgitate what they’ve learned from our reading and discussions, and it gives them with a great way to
review what they’ve learned as they look back through their notebook all school year. I also despise notebooking some days. I don’t like the mess, with tiny bits of paper on the carpet under the table, stray crayons found in the toddler’s hand, stickers shoved willy-nilly back into the storage container, or crumpled up notebooking pages that never made it into a notebook after our lessons.
