    I am so grateful for the introduction of The Well-Trained Mind!! I have a 3 year old and a 4 month old that I intend to homeschool but haven’t had a method that really resonated with me yet. I’ve already read a huge chunk of that book and felt THIS is it! A million thanks!

    I love “Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World.” I read with while pregnant with our daughter, and had the idea to name her Bethany from reading it. (Two powerful, GODly women, creating a home away from home for Jesus in Bethany.)

    I think one helpful gadget (and I hate extra kitchen gadgets!) is a rice cooker. Long grain rice is a cheap side, and brown rice is super healthy. But brown rice takes forever on the stovetop, and you have to kind of babysit it. A rice cooker is great b/c you don’t have to watch it, and it gets perfectly done, so you don’t waste burned rice. Also, lentils can be cooked easily in it, or you can mix lentils and brown rice in it, since they take the same amount of time and water to cook. Sometimes I even throw broccoli in with the rice while it cooks, so I just add cheese and butter when it’s done. Anyway, you can tell I love my rice cooker!
