Share Four Somethings - June 2021

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog. 

Up until this month I have been participating in the Share Four Somethings link-up from my Just A Second blog. However, as I'm adjusting the focus here a little bit, I decided that the practice of sharing Something Loved, Something Read, Something Treasured and Something Ahead might be better done here. At least I hope so. Thanks for your patience with me as I stumble through the changes and trying to find out what I want to do with this blog space. It's not as straight-forward as I'd like!

Something Loved

Back in the fall I gave the Something Loved shout-out to Black Rifle Coffee Company. They were new to me at the time, but being a coffee lover and being on board with their company mission, I was soon a loyal subscriber to the coffee club. I've been getting a couple of coffees every month with their subscription service, and every one has been so good. So recently I upped my game to get the coffees every three weeks. 

 

Something Read

I completed only two books during the month. Well, so far. I have almost a week remaining, right? I do have quite a few I'm working on and hope to finish a couple of them soon. You can see more about my reading in my Monthly Bookshelf Review for June 2021 which should be live at Just A Second in a couple of days.

Finished and reviewed:

Mortal Arts by Anna Lee Huber

Heart of a Runaway Girl by Trevor Wiltzen

   

Currently Reading:

The Inviting Life by Laura Calder

A Grave Matter - Anna Lee Huber

Between the Wild Branches by Connilyn Cossette

The Scarlet Pen by Jennifer Uhlarik

   

     

Something Treasured

Last month I treasured graduations, which carried over to the beginning of June. Our daughter graduated from the community college and is in the process of transferring to a local university to finish her music degree. 

We treasured more returns to normal living this month, even as we have been involved in advocating for good policies that protect rights and freedoms so that all of us can go back to school, to work, to church, and to doing all the things we love. 

One of the things we love is spending time with family. As usual, we spent time with family that lives with us, but we also got to spend time with our family that lives in Columbus. Last weekend, the hubby and I went to visit for a couple of days. It wasn't nearly long enough, but we had so much fun with our son and his wife and our granddaughter. This weekend all the kids that live here are out in Columbus having their family time with their brother! I love that they all get along and like to hang out together. And I'm also treasuring having the house to myself for a couple of days!

Something Ahead

The rest of the summer lies ahead, and we haven't made plans for it yet! We've talked about vacation possibilities, but have made no decisions. I hope it includes lots more family time as well as a getaway or two that's just for me and the hubster. 

We just got work estimates for a couple of home improvement projects we've been wanting to do for a long time. We purchased a new sliding door for the dining room, and will have it installed just as soon as our contractor can fit it into his schedule. And just today I had the flooring guy in to measure and give us a quote for new tile flooring in the kitchen and dining room. I'll be scheduling that for immediately after the new door. So exciting! But probably what we're spending on those things will reduce our vacation spending a bit, now that I think about it.

Online Book Club - March Theme: St. Patrick

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog. 

I've been joining some blogging friends in an online book club, and all our readers are invited to join in as well. Here's how it works:

At the beginning of the month Amanda at Hopkins Homeschool will share a book theme with us. It will be a theme instead of any specific title, so that anyone can participate - moms, dads, teens, kids, or the whole family. During the month, we will read books that go with the theme, and at the end of the month we'll share about what we read. Homeschool families may want to do unit studies or activities that go with the books they read, and they can tell us all about what they did and learned. Adults and teens may just want to share book reviews. 

Visit Hopkins Homeschool to find out more about what she has planned!

Well, the theme of St Patrick is an obvious one for the month of March, and my first thought was that I would re-read one of my favorite novels, Patrick: Son of Ireland by Stephen R Lawhead. I think I read it every other year in March. It's a favorite, and it certainly fits the theme, as it's a novelized version of St Patrick's life, so I will get started on it this week but I'm realistic enough to know I won't finish it by the end of the month. I grabbed another biography of the saint on Kindle that's geared for young readers, so I should be able to finish that! The reviews for Patrick by Jessica Dunn were positive, and it seemed to be enjoyed by adults and older kids alike. Stop by again near the end of the month to see what I thought of it, and how far I got on the Lawhead book!

Online Book Club - Wrapping Up February: An Emphasis on Love

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog. 

I've joined in with some blogging friends for an online book club, and we are wrapping up this week. By the way, all our readers are invited to join in as well. Each month we'll have a theme to build our book picks around, and our February theme was Love. 

In the Literature class I teach at our co-op, we are currently reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I chose this for my Online Book Club selection as well, because the two sisters in the novel face crises in their love relationships. The literature course examines the crises that characters face and how those crises shape the plots and change the characters. In Sense and Sensibility, sisters Elinor and Marianne both experience heartbreak and romantic love, but their attitudes and approach are very different. Elinor is prudent and uses common sense, while Marianne is ruled by her emotions (or, in Austen's day, her sensibilities). 

By the way, our co-op class is using the textbook Illuminating Literature: Characters in Crisis from Writing with Sharon Watson. For more information about this curriculum, see my review here: Illuminating Literature: Characters in Crisis (A Homeschool Coffee Break Review) (Write 28 Days - Predicament)

 Here's the story in a nutshell - The story centers around two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. After their father passed away, they and their mother and younger sister have to leave their family home and the move into a cottage provided by a relative. Before they left their home, Elinor had formed a friendship with Edward, the brother of her step-brother's wife. It was assumed that Edward and Elinor were heading towards engagement but both were very reserved and even Elinor wasn't sure how Edward felt about her. She had thought it best to be cautious and not wear her heart on her sleeve, especially since they were recently bereaved and their future was uncertain.

Shortly after moving into the cottage, the hopelessly romantic Marianne meets Willoughby, and handsome young man who shares all her feelings and opinions and the two of them are soon together all the time. Marianne is extravagant and quite heedless in her affection for Willoughby, and they behave quite improperly, giving rise to the assumption that they will soon be married. Elinor counsels Marianne to exercise some prudence and have a care for reputation but Marianne won't hear it. Meanwhile, a family friend, Colonel Brandon, seems to have fallen in love with Marianne, but she dismisses him as too old and too serious. Then one day, Willoughby abruptly returns to London and Marianne is inconsolable. 

They meet two young ladies who are guests at the estate, and Elinor discovers that one of them, Lucy, has been secretly engaged to none other than Edward for four years. Elinor remains quiet about this and suffers her loss and broken heart privately, but when Marianne finds out that Willoughby has married another woman and has a known reputation for being a seducer, she is devastated.

Edward's mother finds out about his secret engagement and disinherits him, but Colonel Brandon offers him a position as vicar. Lucy breaks the engagement, freeing Edward to pursue Elinor, which he does. They marry and move into the parsonage. Eventually Marianne comes to appreciate Colonel Brandon's character, falls in love with him, and they marry. 

Each sister finds true love after heartbreak, and although their situations are in many ways similar, their responses are very different. Elinor keeps her emotions under careful control, which helps her avoid embarrassment and impropriety, but she finds that she must allow some expression of grief and affection in order to find healing and comfort. Marianne puts no check on her emotions, and is reckless in her behavior. She's what we might call a drama queen, romanticizing all her emotions from grief to infatuation, and throwing herself heedlessly into a romance without paying attention to any warning signs or appeals to slow down. As a result she feels publicly shamed and even makes herself ill and puts herself in danger. She learns a hard lesson about governing her passions and using her head as well as her heart. 

Both of these characters experience love, although they express it in very different ways. It's probably safe to assume that Marianne's fling with Willoughby was not really love, but an infatuation or obsession that she mistook for love. What a lesson for young people! Real love is not all about the raptures of how good-looking someone is and the heart-pounding excitement of being with someone that you think is "the one". It might start out that way, to be sure! But we can be fooled into thinking the butterflies and the warm fuzzy feelings are love if we don't also think wisely about a person's character. Love is much more than what we feel with our emotions - it is how we think and how we act. In the end both sisters build romantic relationships that demonstrate the love we're told about in the Bible:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ~I Corinthians 13:4-7

I love how Jane Austen shows this distinction without ever being preachy. She was able to emphasize these good qualities in her characters, and the goodness of enduring and godly love by telling a wonderful story with endearing and humorous characters.

Write 28 Days - Creativity

Happy Valentine's Day! I don't usually take Valentine's Day celebrations very seriously, but I like chocolate (dark chocolate, please) as much as the next girl. Plus it's so sweet to see the younger couples being all romantic. 

Valentine's Day is all about LOVE nowadays, but it started out as the feast day of a Christian martyr. Saint Valentine's history is mixed up with some legend, but it's known that he took a stand for Christian marriage during a time when the Roman emperor forbade his soldiers to marry. One popular story says that while he was in prison, Valentine became close to his jailer's daughter (they might even have been in love!) and when he was taken away to be executed, he left her note. It was signed, "From your Valentine". 

Valentine greetings were popular during the Middle Ages, with the first written greetings appearing during the 1400s. The oldest known valentine is a poem that Charles, Duke of Orleans wrote to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1415. The practice of sending cards and flowers to loved ones on Valentine's Day became popular in England during the 1700s. By the middle of the 18th century, friends and lovers of all social classes exchanged these tokens of affection. Hallmark produced the first commercially printed card in 1913, and ready-made cards made it easier for people to express emotions during a time in history when that was not often encouraged. Today, more than a billion Valentine's cards are sold each year. And many people like to create their own cards - especially kids. 

Matisse Inspired Valentine by Kat, 2012

That heart shape, like the box your chocolates came in, wasn't representative of love until sometime in the 13th or 14th century. At that time the heart was thought of as a book of memory, where God's commands could be written, and where thoughts of one's beloved could be written as well. During the 14th century, an Italian poem accompanied by an illustration featuring hearts and a cupid throwing arrows and roses was what started our association of those lacy hearts and cupid's arrows with romantic love. You have Richard Cadbury (yes, Cadbury's chocolate) to thank for the traditional heart-shaped box of candy. He gave chocolates in a heart-shaped box to his sweetheart in 1868, and the company began producing the boxes with hand-decorated lids.

It certainly seems like there's something about expressing love that inspires our creativity. Poems and symbolic heart shaped cards and illustrations, love songs, homemade Valentines, beautifully presented flowers and candy and chocolates, promises and gifts. Even marriage proposals carefully planned to be a unique and creative surprise and happy memory. 

Creativity comes from our Creator - who created because he loved. And because we are created in his image, we have the creative spark as well. 

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. . . so God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. ~Genesis 1:1, 27

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. ~Psalm 139:13

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. ~ Ephesians 2:10

We messed up what God created, but He continued to love, so He also continued to create. He had a plan to mend what we'd broken and bring us back into relationship with Him. 

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. ~Ephesians 2:13-16

When we let him, he will re-create our hearts and lives, so that we can love him the way we should, and so that we can show his love to others.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. ~Psalm 51:10

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here! ~II Corinthians 5:17

So let love inspire your creativity. Whether it's music or art or handwork or words or food or inventions or mechanics or hospitality . . . whatever you do, do it to glorify God and to share and show love.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ~Colossians 3:16-17

Online Book Club - February Theme: Love

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog. 

I've been joining some blogging friends in an online book club, and all our readers are invited to join in as well. Here's how it works:

At the beginning of the month Amanda at Hopkins Homeschool will share a book theme with us. It will be a theme instead of any specific title, so that anyone can participate - moms, dads, teens, kids, or the whole family. During the month, we will read books that go with the theme, and at the end of the month we'll share about what we read. Homeschool families may want to do unit studies or activities that go with the books they read, and they can tell us all about what they did and learned. Adults and teens may just want to share book reviews. 

Visit Hopkins Homeschool to find out more about what she has planned!

The theme for February is Love. Not a surprise! It's an easy choice for theme, so the hard part for me is picking what to read. So many non-fiction books that would be excellent possibilities, So many novels, classic and contemporary, that explore themes relating to love. How would I ever narrow it down? So finally, recognizing that February is a short month and my To Be Read stack is already very high, I decided my Online Book Club pick should probably be something I plan to read anyway. That's why I've decided on one of my favorites that I need to re-read in the weeks ahead for the high school Literature class I teach.

This week my students and I will start reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. There are a number of themes that could be explored, and our literature course examines the crises that characters face and how those crises shape the plots and change the characters. In Sense and Sensibility, sisters Elinor and Marianne face crises in their love relationships. Both experience heartbreak and romantic love, but their attitudes and approach are very different. Elinor is prudent and uses common sense, while Marianne is ruled by her emotions (or, in Austen's day, her sensibilities). 

Personally, I plan on watching my DVD of the BBC adaptation of Sense and Sensibility at some point as well.

Online Book Club - Wrapping Up December: Celebrations

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog. 

I've joined in with some blogging friends for an online book club, and we are wrapping up this week. By the way, all our readers are invited to join in as well. Each month we'll have a theme to build our book picks around, and our December theme was Celebrations. 

A few days before the theme was announced I had downloaded the Kindle edition of Everyday Confetti by Karen Ehman & Glynnis Whitwer. I'd actually been looking for another book by Ehman but it wasn't available through my library. This one was, and it looked interesting, and then it turned out to be quite suitable to the book club theme.

Everyday Confetti by Karen Ehman & Glynnis Whitwer - Beyond birthdays and Christmas, there are many occasions that call for celebration in our families. Some moms love planning elaborate birthday parties, but that's not everyone's style. For many families, smaller everyday celebrations offer more chances to make memories for kids, and may even become family traditions.

If you need ideas for the kinds of things you can celebrate, and how to mark achievements or special days on the calendar in affordable ways, this little guidebook has those ideas. In addition to some different ideas for birthdays and achievements, there are ideas for many other occasions throughout the calendar year. There are plenty of recipes included as well. 

The book is organized into two parts. The first is Everyday Celebrations and focuses on ways to honour achievements like work or school milestones, or even character development achievements. These are also celebrations of birthdays, spiritual milestones, and special family occasions. Not all family members live close by, so suggestions for staying connected and for reaching out to others are part of this section as well.

In Part Two, Holidays through the Year, there are ideas for celebrating seasons and the special days that we might find on our calendars. There are fresh takes on the well-known holidays like Valentines Day, Memorial Day, and Thanksgiving; and some days that are just for fun like Backwards Day or Best Friends Day. The majority of the celebration ideas are activities that are geared towards families with younger children, but there are some suggestions to get teens involved. I did notice that although Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence Day are specifically mentioned and there are references to acknowledging 'our neighbors to the south', the authors did not even one time make reference to the neighbors to the north. Surely Canada Day or the Canadian date for Thanksgiving could have been highlighted as well, and since the authors are from Michigan (at least one is, if I remember correctly), I was surprised and rather disappointed at this omission. 

Overall, if you have young children and would like ideas to celebrate everyday joys and make memories, this little guidebook has plenty to get you started and will inspire you to come up with new traditions and fun to bring your family together.

Our home can be a place of nurturing, a place where children grow up confident in their worth, a place where a husband feels respected and a friend feels loved, a place where God is honored.

Psalm 68:6 says, "God sets the lonely in families." Let him set some in yours this year.

What has been your favorite family tradition over the years and why? . . . Have the adults share their favorite memory of their holidays growing up. Did it have to do more with money or with people, with getting or with doing? Can you think of any new tradition you would like to start celebrating and why?

 

****************

Since my kids are all grown up and my only grandchild (so far!) doesn't live nearby, a lot in this book didn't apply to me in a way. But it was still very encouraging because I've tried to be intentional about finding delight in the everyday and marking all kinds of special occasions. The china should be used more often than just Easter and Thanksgiving! I especially appreciated ideas like writing personal notes or letters of encouragement to others on each of the forty days of Lent, or using the twelve days of Christmas to bless others who may be facing a particularly challenging holiday season. 

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Twenty Six Lists - Holiday Traditions - #twentysixlists

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog.

Welcome to the final installment of Twenty Six Lists! Every other week over this past year I shared a writing prompt and invited you to link up your list. Sometimes we shared very simple lists, and sometimes we elaborated and wrote more. Thank you for reading and thank you to everyone who participated at any time through the year. 

It's time for our final list - a collection of Christmas traditions. These are the traditions that we've continued in our family or have become traditions for us.

List #26 - Christmas and Holiday Traditions

Christmas Tree and Decorating - Some people put up the tree and decorate at Thanksgiving or earlier, some at the beginning of December, and some wait until right before Christmas! And then it all needs to be taken down sometime after Christmas and again, some people have it cleared away on December 26th while others wait until Epiphany (January 6th). Our family has been putting up our tree and decorations starting at Thanksgiving for many years. The truth is that sometimes it takes weeks before it's all done! But on Thanksgiving Day we get everything out and hopefully by the end of Black Friday the tree and the lights are up, and we work on trimming the tree and finishing up decorations over the next days (or weeks if it's a particularly busy year). We leave the decorations up until Epiphany because that is actually the last of the twelve days of Christmas. I make an effort to get it all put away as quickly as possible because one of my sons has a birthday just a couple days later. My husband is in charge of all the lights - tree, outside, everywhere. My daughter and I are in charge of everything else.

Gifts - When I was growing up, we often opened our gifts late on Christmas Eve. Midnight, ideally, but when we kids were younger we did it earlier. Then on Christmas morning we had stockings. My husband's family always got up early on Christmas morning and opened gifts and stockings then. His mom didn't put gifts under the tree until Christmas Eve either - I guess so that it looked like Santa had brought them during the night. So for the most part we have followed my husband's tradition and opened gifts on Christmas morning, although we all love wrapping and putting our gifts for others under the tree and watching the outpouring of love pile up as we get closer to the big day! We usually have the youngest person hand out the gifts, and as much as possible we open them one at a time so everyone can see every gift. I do not like the free-for-all way of opening. 

We also have a goofy family tradition after all the gifts have been opened. We wad up all the wrapping paper and have a paper ball war! When we're worn out, there are hugs all around and then it's probably time to eat!

Christmas Movies - The Christmas season is the perfect time to watch Christmas movies and specials together. I normally don't watch much TV, but I love watching all our favorite Christmas movies as a family. White Christmas, It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, The Santa Clause, Elf . . . these are the movies that must be watched in order for it to be truly Christmas! A Christmas Carol is for Christmas Eve, after we get home from the Christmas Eve service.

In fact, right now, my kids and a couple of friends are having a Christmas movie marathon, and I'm about to go make lunch. I hope they've saved a couple of my favorites for this afternoon when I can watch along with them.
