Day 5

If you missed any of the previous days, there is a link at the end of this post

Being a home educating mom I am always in search of a great curriculum, worksheets, unit studies and more for our children. Day 5 of My Favorite Things fits that bill!

Enchanted Homeschooling Mom



Meet Jill..in here words....

Hello! My name is Jill and I am the author and creator of the Enchanted Homeschool Mom Blog and the Enchanted Homeschooling Mom Member’s Only Website. Between the two I have my printable creations, original curriculum’s, lesson ideas, recipes, giveaways, and much, much more! I have a wonderful husband who works full time as a Civil Engineer outside of our home and is my best friend, our son Beck who cracks me up daily, our pistol packing princess Elizabeth whose strong will and determination amaze me, and our four furry children (dogs).
Homeschooling has become such an integral part of our life that it is just normal to me. I love the flexibility homeschooling affords and there is nothing I would trade in this world for since I get to see my children grow up every day and become confident, smart, and intuitive children. Please do not get me wrong because I have had my string of challenges along the way. The challenges that I have had to overcome range in magnitude from losing touch with friends who have children in brick and mortar schools who do want to understand homeschooling to having little support from family because they do not understand what homeschooling is. Each day I remind myself that I am blessed because my family directly benefits from my efforts to homeschool our children. The blessing is that Beck and Elizabeth are storing willed; compassionate; have great manners, and will always be a positive part of society as they grow older because they are being filled with our family’s beliefs as they grow and blossom in their education too!
I know that homeschooling is not always an easy path to follow, but we are guided down this path for our children because we want to make sure we provide them the best education and educational possibilities for our children. Even when Beck gets over analytical (like his Dad) and over thinks a problem or Elizabeth just blurts out an answer, right or wrong, I know that they are happy to be learning their lessons at ‘Mommy School’ because I can tailor their education to their current needs and focus on things that they like too. At any given moment in our homeschool day you will more than likely find my children, and furry children, happily hanging around.
I can so relate to Jill as a homeschooling mom. I love her lesson plans, printables and value the time and effort she puts into all she gives out to the world.  You don't have to be a home educating family to take advantage of what Jill brings to us all.    She offers a very affordable LIFETIME membership for her printables and it's so worth your money!  Her advice on meal planning, curriculum, lesson plans, homeschooling and more put her on My Favorite Things List! 
I encourage you to visit her site...spend some time looking around...You can connect with Jill at Facebook, Website, Twitter, and Pinterest.

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
