This was a deep growing time we shared. We dug in weekly and discussed each section. Each week we were pulled closer to God and were able to share more as Mother and Daughter. This versions is written at a teenage level, I found the questions open and honest and not at all caught up in much of the drama of our world. Beth wrote it to deal with the heart issues, that if left unchecked can turn into uncontrolled behavior.<div><br /></div><div>After each study we have done together, we pick out something that stuck with us and write it on a 3x5 card to display where we will see it daily.

I am so loving this new season we are in . . . we are growing together as mother/daughter. My prayer is that she will look back on this time we share and want to do the same with her daughters. Maybe evening tell them stories of her cooking with her mama. I am so blessed!!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/172/03179806666E99187DCC195A27480C59.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children.

My mom found the cutest tops to match them just perfectly last Saturday. They are wanting me to wash them tonight so that they can wear them out Wednesday night for dinner with our neighbors.

Mondays are now <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Scottlyn's</span> day to cook our family dinner. Last week I gave her a<a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/New-Slow-Cooker/Taste-of-Home/e/9780898215830/?itm=18"> slow cooker cookbook</a> from Taste of Home. She was told to pick out four recipes that she would want to try. We then set down and pick two of them for her to cook the next two Mondays. This week she made <a href="http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Savory-Beef-Sandwiches">Savory Beef Sandwiches</a> and here is what hers looked like:<div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJjRKeW2H7WCls1lfXsg0N04enlmoQFvD1cdn_aKCwLfgOirxBH3LlhrdqHuDPe67M_DBY3T4aR8HwZlkkrbzd0MaomfPnBYZNjnIWQ45dciLNVBk9JMHyQdmsBbzuQhygA7to25ac23qw/s1600-h/IMG_3941.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJjRKeW2H7WCls1lfXsg0N04enlmoQFvD1cdn_aKCwLfgOirxBH3LlhrdqHuDPe67M_DBY3T4aR8HwZlkkrbzd0MaomfPnBYZNjnIWQ45dciLNVBk9JMHyQdmsBbzuQhygA7to25ac23qw/s400/IMG_3941.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449031585248217170" /></a>They were very yummy! This recipe feed the four of us along with our sweet neighbors and we still have some leftovers. The rest could be frozen to use as bake potato toppings next week. I bought two of the cookbooks for each of my daughters hope chest. I will do the same with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Shalyn</span> when she is 10 years old. I think that slow cook recipes are easy and a great way to teach my daughters how to cook wonderful meals. When they complete a recipe they will rate/date it using a star system with 4 being the best stars. They can refer back to the date and stars when looking at the recipe again. Maybe even remembering when they first made it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for visiting . . . </div><div><br /></div><div>Blessings,</div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/172/03179806666E99187DCC195A27480C59.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children.

We have been very busy with several projects that I will blog about in the next few weeks. The one I would like to share today is sewing . . . .</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">One thing that you may not know about me is I went to college to become a fashion designer. I did not go after the creative side when I graduated, but worked in retail and helped developed new seasonal lines with the company I was working for as they were changing their target customer. After the birth of my girls I sewed for them off and on. But I often found myself saying that is was cheaper to but the items already made, then it was for me to buy the pattern, materials and my time to make that item.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Last year my sweet mother-in-law bought a sewing machine for Scottlyn and I started teaching her to sew. She sewed a blanket (for her dog) and bag last summer. It was a lot of FUN!! In the fall my mother taught the girls to make rag quilts for their beds.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Then after Christmas we got the sewing machine back out and started sewing again. Now we are so blessed you see because my mother has what you would call generational fabric. That is when the material goes back several generations. This could be both a blessing and a thorn at times. My mother has material as we Home Schooled moms have bookshelves on top of bookshelves of books. But I like to think of it more as a blessing. My mother sews, quilts, knits . . . she is so talented is all that she does. We take our patterns to her house, she will then pull out fabric and tell us stories behind each piece. Which great grand mother bought it and what she had planned on using it for.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Both girls have started to learn how to sew. The younger one needs more help and gets tired quickly. As she grows older she will want to sew more, I think. We are teaching her by letting her sew things for her dog. My oldest is eager to sew her own clothes and she wants to be a blessing to her family one day. Right now she is being a blessing to her mama. Over the past few weeks my mother has helped them sew their Easters dresses. Last week they sewed a tiered skirt, they are planning to wear it on Tuesday and I will post pictures then.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Below are pictures of a skirt I sewed up Sunday afternoon for them. They were busy knitting scarves. The material is what their Great Grandmother bought to sew a dress for me out of. The only cost was a 99 cent pattern and my time. What I gained was time well spent with my mother as she told my girls about the fabric's history . . . I am so blessed to have the mother I have. The t-shirts the girls got for Christmas . . it is outlined in Hot Pink, the skit has little Hot Pink rose buds all over it. They already had black leggings and will change the black out for white when spring comes . . .</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtx-yZyx3fq5S2PhwohXyZADPbKwvbyEe5Sjm6QVZcZg6x5HABXJrjBtDem6SpOhnNtW_1brnm3nWSSG6VuGOxh0KaFocvT8GixN2RF28omma-8cjM2ixn8bTghv5mCiKrgfbsrlzyIEi8/s1600-h/IMG_3940.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtx-yZyx3fq5S2PhwohXyZADPbKwvbyEe5Sjm6QVZcZg6x5HABXJrjBtDem6SpOhnNtW_1brnm3nWSSG6VuGOxh0KaFocvT8GixN2RF28omma-8cjM2ixn8bTghv5mCiKrgfbsrlzyIEi8/s400/IMG_3940.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448860682574021458" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUG5faK-VO0TjaRSFyHZeUv_1QBi8Z5J40nXdxNEjpWgHkJuo-J4K4d8LF1FTsyAFzaVAsZAgs1OP-tpRVFPKV3gMJAx1m8x_LUgn5pamVOVoEdclba4xEmYE1dZG6VFB2q4GHZm8T3vel/s1600-h/IMG_3936.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUG5faK-VO0TjaRSFyHZeUv_1QBi8Z5J40nXdxNEjpWgHkJuo-J4K4d8LF1FTsyAFzaVAsZAgs1OP-tpRVFPKV3gMJAx1m8x_LUgn5pamVOVoEdclba4xEmYE1dZG6VFB2q4GHZm8T3vel/s400/IMG_3936.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448860677513669570" /></a>Here is a link to the pattern I used: <a href="http://butterick.mccall.com/b4722-products-5628.php?page_id=376&search_control=display&list=search"><br /></a><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 379px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS3XFQrSZ94hTXXzh-3HBKkxxuOU9xyhkuuVEF6AjZKUMYZbp6GYx9Q1LpyXilotOwekrw61pWAr3ZXN4iyaQLacES_knOd79HBF7j1J6Aohnz7hrpEeLcrysHfanqnje7fPaDujjjBAa3/s400/B4722.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448860672903344786" />Have a blessed day,</div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/172/03179806666E99187DCC195A27480C59.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children.
