Weekend Wednesdays

With the romance of ice skating in Rockefeller Center in mind, we have our own smaller version right here in downtown Greenville. For a romantic rendevous, or fun outing with the kids, this nostalgic ice skating adventure is sure to delight people of all ages. So take a stroll down memory lane with a pair of ice skates on. Greenville Tech is sponsoring the event in the Marriott courtyard off Main Street downtown. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $8 for kids.

Moms Minute Mondays

We all have times when it feels like we haven't talked to another adult for weeks. Every stay at home mom goes through this whether she is a fellow home schooler, or just staying home for a few months with her newborn baby before re-acculating to the work force. Those days can be lonely and scary. Imagine, you may not have showered for two days, and you're making your wardrobe choices by what things you think you can afford to have spit up on.  Even with older kids, you start to feel invisible, and you don't think you can ask them one more time to take out the trash....

But there is one thing you can do to feel better, and that is to take time out for yourself. Sure, a devotional is great for the soul, but I mean something a bit beyond that. Take time to connect with other home schooling moms. A great place to start is to find a local support group with similar values to your own. This is easily found using Google or a Yahoo groups search page. In the Upstate of SC, I found a Christian principled support group called FCHome on Yahoo Groups. Go ahead, be bold. All you have to lose is a few minutes in front of the computer, and you have the potential of gaining some new friends.
