Maiden Karly Week 2

WOW! We have been busy this week. Here is Karly's week.

We are still working through the Future Christian Homemakers book. I completely forgot to take pictures of Karly making Blueberry muffins this week. She made them twice. They were wonderful. Click on the book above for more information.
This week we worked on chapter 2 of Raising Maidens of Virtue. It was all about purity and being a Maiden. We had a great discussion. Click on the picture above for information about the book.
Karly was instructed to draw a "Maiden Scene". This was a scene of a lovely young lady in a peaceful setting.

Here is my young maiden's picture.

We discussed the differences between being tough and strong. Maiden's should be strong. There is grace and wisdom in strength. They can be called on to stand up for their beliefs and be strong in the Lord. They can be strong in a crisis when their family needs them. When we hear the word tough though we think of a young lady trying to prove something. Dressing like men, acting like men... tough was not a pretty picture. :)
Karly and I discussed what it means to be pure and how she can be pure. One of the main things was keeping our focus on Christ. Here is her purity statement.

We discussed what would a maiden look like. What traits and virtues would she have. Here is her list.


These are the verses Karly is going to focus on this week.

We did not work on her sewing, though I have finally gotten past the part I was stuck on, so we will resume that soon. I think I will keep our sewing adventures for a separate post. LOL

I know today is officially Wednesday. I had some errands to do today that threw off the week so I am planning to do our Home Ec day tomorrow.

Be Blessed!

Maiden Karly Week 1

I had a great time with Karly. We got everything done but her sewing. We will probably do that Saturday.
We used this book. I have wanted this book and wanted this book forever! When I went to pick up The Pearables book at our local homeschooling store I grabbed this one as well. I had the money and knew it would be a good investment! Its a great investment.
I was not raised to be a keeper at home. I am excited to learn through this book with my daughter.
Here she is reading about eggs.

Here is the recipe for french toast and scrambled eggs. It was a very simple recipe. I hardly helped at all.
A great tip for beginner or clumsy cooks was to crack your egg in a small bowl first and then transfer to a larger bowl. It will be easier to get any eggshells out.
Mixing up the eggs and milk for the french toast.
French toast cooking.

Turning the french toast.

MMM! Doesn't that look good?
Scrambling the eggs.

A million times I fought the urge to grab the spatula. You know how easy it is to just scramble up some eggs. She wanted it perfect so she was slow and methodical. LOL
Plating the eggs.

Getting ready to do our devotional over a snack and some apple tea. The apple tea was her cooking assignment for the week. Delicious and easy to make. I will give the recipe later.
The flowers in the Garden that the Gardener created to be beautiful. This is from the first chapter of the Raising Maidens of Virtue book.
One of the two verses from the first chapter that Karly decided to focus on this week.
Karly's Maiden binder. It says Maiden Karly Rose and she decorated with the foam sticky hearts.

A few other mom's have said they are doing the book as well. I am curious are you doing the scrapbook?

Be Blessed!
