February Update

February 24, 2009

I just wanted to give an update on my reading for LDS Mommy University. I am so blessed that my library actually purchased many of the books that I requested through Interlibrary Loan. So I have better access to them! I'm so happy about that.

I've been studying Spanish and will be on schedule soon. I've enjoyed it a lot. A lot of what I had learned as a young adult is coming back to me, even pronunciation. I can hear myself trilling my R's which is a surprise to me. It's fun and I'm sure I'll be speaking in Spanish to my kids and my family a lot now that it's on my mind.

Reading the spiritual books has been great. Even just reading the Ensign cover to cover has been a lot of fun. I like always having a book to read when I have a moment to relax. I can just look at my list and pick something. My Sundays are more devoted to worship as well. I focus more on spiritually-minded literature than I did before. I have specifically enjoyed reading the R.S. manual with lessons from Joseph Smith.

I've got the two math texts and they're great. They're at my level which I appreciate. They're both interesting and not too complex (so far!). I love that I'm studying math. I think it is so inspiring to my children.

The parenting and education books have been very interesting too. I love learning about these subjects and being inspired to be a better mom and homeschooler.

I've been learning a hymn each month which the kids have picked up on. I can hear my 4 year old and 2 year old daughters singing "How Firm a Foundation" and "The Spirit of God" around the house and yard a lot!
