The beginning!

Welcome to Sonbeams, Raising Up Sunbeams For Him! blog!!

For the beginning only, this blog will have public access - so you can see what Sonbeams is all about!

As a former preschool teacher and nanny working for years with young children - and now having my own - I have put together some of the "tricks of the trade", tips, and ideas for inexpensive learning for parents desiring to homeschool their own preschoolers on a budget.

Sonbeams curriculum guides this first year will be available online only. I'll be sharing lesson guides on a weekly basis - walking you through step by step how to teach your preschooler ABC's, 123's, Bible verses, songs, even sign language!

Songs the Lord has given me to teach my children scripture will be available separately on CD.

Also in the works (almost completed) is a chart to assist you in training your little ones in discipline. The "My Daily Duties" chart is a dry erase product for your fridge that's perfect for little hands.

These charts are designed to catch children's attention, with artwork they will LOVE!, and keep it simple in training your preschooler. 5 empty spots allow you to write in areas of encouragement your child needs.

For my children, I would love for them to dress themselves and make their beds - so these are 2 of the 5. Sometimes I've written in "Love One Another", or "Share Toys". Also great for potty training - first hand knowledge speaking here!

The chart is flexible as your needs of training change. To keep costs down at my home, we use stickers that I've found on clearance at Christian bookstores. Also, with a baby and toddler that love to put things in their mouths, I opted against magnets!

Again, a stay at home mom here knowing we have to be frugal, this fits the bill all around!

My children LOVE stickers, and I make a big deal each time they complete their chores and receive a sticker.

To put your name on the waiting list when these are finished, let me know at orders@heaveninourhomes.com. Price to be determined, but will be better than comparable!

As I desire to help my husband financially, I'm not here to take advantage of other moms. My main goal is not to make a killing at other's expense. I want to provide quality products that are lower priced than you can find them anywhere else!

To help you in following the Lord in training your children at home and being a Titus 2/ Proverbs 31 woman.

There are so many inexpensive, yet creative ways to teach children - ways that this blog will show you how to do!!

Subscriptions are $20 for 26 weeks - and will give you access to the blog here and "any and all" comments that other moms share from their homeschooler adventures!

Beginning in August, the doors to the blog will close and be available to subscribers only - so save your spot now by replying to sonbeams@heaveninourhomes.com.

Next week, I'll give you a preview of the first week's guide - so you'll know what you're getting. Bookmark the site and return again!
