Read..REaD...READ!!

How do you get little girls excited to read??  Make it a party!  It's time to start up  homemaking skills and get learning.  We ( a couple of friends)  realized that dance and tumbling and soccer are great but will they be used much later on in life??  Are our girls being taught the things they will use throughout their life??  We thought we had better do something about that!  So we started a little co-op  where the girls could learn basic skills such as the importance of loving to learn and how to host, so Book Club was started!  They for sure need to know how to cook and not just from a box, so Cooking is part of the curriculum.  And what about the lost art of sewing??  Even if for repairs and alterations.  Sewing is also a part of our co-op.  And crafting??  Oh yes!  Every girl should know how to do a variety of crafts, because more than likely, they too will have little girls someday!  That's a pretty good variety of the necessities.   Lucky for me I have some very talented friends.  Here are some pictures of the first gathering of the year...  Tangled is our book and we learned just like Rapunzel we are Princesses too!  But not just Princesses to any King..but the King of all Kings.  We are daughters of a Heavenly Father and we have great potential to become Queens!  Love that!!
