Instructions for installing fonts {on PC}: After downloading and unzipping your file, open "My Computer", then the C: drive you use. Then open the folder labeled "Windows" & inside it open the folder, "Fonts". Copy and paste the unzipped fonts into the Fonts folder--they will install themselves.

Our 2010 Home & School Plan

Our 2010 Home & School Plan

This is the basic outline for our year. It is not set in stone, and, as always, YHVH has the final say. We just try to live our lives to serve Him, using everyday duties and experiences to learn vital life skills. I try to involve my children in my life as much as possible as I teach them the joy that comes from serving and loving one another. I am not perfect, and many days I truly feel like a failure, my house and spirit disheveled, but our Elohim is faithful, and by His grace we get by.


I use many resources I've found free on the internet. There is such a wealth of information out there, and if you enjoy public domain texts (older, copyright free), you will find you have TONS of resources available to you.
