A New Kind of Normal with Kathy Butryn

http://www.ultimatehomeschoolexpo.com/images/CindyRushton.jpg

Hey There Mommy Pals!

WAY too long since our last ezine! I have missed you gobs and gobs!

We have had so much go on since the last ezine—Matthew graduated from Bootcamp AND Jump School…Elisabeth graduated from High School and bought her first car…we adopted two new Shih Tzu puppies who have weezled their way into my heart…and so many other things. Can I say life-changes? Well, I am sure you have had your own life-changes in the past few weeks. Whether we realize it or not, we are always in the midst of growth and change. Well, yes, SOME of it takes a little more “getting accustomed to,” if you know what I mean.

That brings me to my special treat this issue! Our download is just phenomenal! My friend Kathy Butryn wrote an article entitled, A New Kind of Normal, and even recorded it on audio (which I love, love, love!). They have both soooo spoken to my heart during this time of change in my life. It was such a blessing to me that I asked her if we could use it for our Time for Tea this week. Guess what she said??? Yep! She said “YES!” But, more than that. She also gave a bonus gift that you will have to find in our download. It is an audio that is a must as well! It is called, Embracing How God Made You. Talk about WOW! WOW! WOW! I am so excited that I just cannot wait for all of you to enjoy these goodies. Well, let’s get to it…

Here is the link to the download:

Download Here
(Download now, if this link is found after July 12, it is no longer available. Be sure to sign up for our ezines to get great articles like this)

 

Here is the link to the audio version of the article (download both!!):

Download by Mp3


Also, if you love these goodies, you MUST join us this weekend in the Talk-a-Latte Conference Room. Kathy will be teaching her new workshop, Making the Connection in our conference room. You can join us FREE or you can purchase tickets to download the set after this weekend (in about a week). Check out the details at this link:

What Do You Want to KNOW That They Know???

http://www.ultimatehomeschoolexpo.com/images/CindyRushton.jpg

Good Afternoon Dearies!

 

Can I tell you how bad I have missed you guys? LOTS! LOTS! LOTS!

 

I have been busy editing and finishing up the huge list of things to do with the UHSE. Oh! It was the best ever! If you missed it, don’t forget our conferences LIVE ON! You can buy a ticket any time for years to come and enjoy every session because we recorded them. We have all of the doorprizes and special gifts online so you can dig in at your convenience. Well, except for the ones that I have yet to add. This year we had SO MANY that it is unbelievable how much more is yet to come! So, grab that ticket while it is only $40. After everything is online and I can take a breath, we will be changing the price to $99.95.

 

Back to what I have been up to… We got two simply amazing puppies and I have been training them. They have made me realize that it is not as easy to TRAIN babies as you think. Our older puppy is almost 5. I must have LIED to myself in remembering how we trained her. Ha!  Now, Ellie is fetching toys while Buster tackles and fetches her. But, we are making process in their knowledge that when *I* say their name they are to HEAR me and obey SOMETHING. Ha! We also celebrated our 22 wedding anniversary. Plus, we have had a couple of weekend getaways like for our anniversary, my son’s Airborne Graduation, and I also got to sneak away last weekend to go see my son at Ft. Bragg.  This evening my daughter and I are planning to sneak away and catch a movie—we get the popcorn and chocolate ALL TO OURSELVES. Ha!

 

Before then, I wanted to send you a link to a special download that I have prepared just for you. It is not a printable download, it is a quick mom-to-mom audio. Ok…it is not so quick. (WINK) you can download and take me on a walk…clean out a closet…or just kick back with a big cup of tea. When you tune in, you will see why it is recorded instead of written. It is a fresh word that God put on my heart this week. I hope it will bless you. You can find it at this link:

 

http://www.MomtoMomRadioShow.com/blog

 

Or, you can download through this link (some people have a hard time accessing audio from email):

http://www.cindysdesktop.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/HSEW-June5.mp3

 

One other quick note! Tomorrow we kick off an AMAZING online seminar with Jim and Sheila Carroll. You can join us live FOR F*R*E*E*! Yep! If you cannot make it live or you love our audios by download and want the whole set, you can grab a ticket at this link:

 

http://www.cindyrushton.com/CharlotteMason21stCentury.html

 

Once you sign up, we will send you an email with directions for joining us this weekend. We will have a blast! Lots of great seminars. Wonderful mom-to-mom chat. AND the best gifts ever! Don’t miss it!

 

Oh! If you want to be there for all of our seminars this summer, we have a Summer Seminar Season Pass. You can get it and join all of our seminars this summer. Here ist the link to that:

 

http://www.cindyrushton.com/CharlotteMason21stCentury.html

 

Well, hope you guys have a WONDERFUL night and weekend. Hope to see ya in Talk-a-Latte for a bit! :D

 

Love ya tons!
Cindy

Just a Few Quick Notes…

http://www.ultimatehomeschoolexpo.com/images/CindyRushton.jpg

Hey there dearies!

I have SO missed you guys! I promise to be back on schedule this coming week with our ezine. I have many NEW articles that I think you will LOVE. My brain has been busting with thoughts while I have been editing all of the amazing audios from our UHSE 2008. I am about to bust to get busy WRITING! ha!

Today, I am coming up from my pile of “to-do’s” to just
drop a note about our virtual seminar next week.  Smiley

We have planned an amazing workshop with Jim and Sheila Carroll from Living Books Curriculum. I know that every time I post about our upcoming events I say that I think this one is the very best ever…but this one IS!  Grin

Here is the link to check out all of the details:
http://www.cindyrushton.com/CM21stCentury.html

We also offer this study in our Talk-a-Latte Season Pass. You can grab that at this link:
http://www.talk-a-latte.com/newstudies.html

Just in case you are wondering, I just got this question by email and I think it is a super question:

Quote

Hi!  This past wkend I downloaded the podcasts for Making the Charlotte Mason Approach Easy 2007.  My husband and I ordered our curriculum for our homeschool from Living Books Curriculum for this coming year.  I received an email recently about a seminar on June 6 & 7 that the Carrolls and you are doing together about applying Charlotte Mason’s ideas to homeschooling.   My question is are these seminars similar?  Is there any new material you are covering that you didn’t cover in the 2007 series?  I’m interested in listening and gleaning info., but I don’t want to spend extra money if unneeded.

Thank you and God Bless!!!

LuAnne
Here is my answer:

Hi!

Thanks for your email. This is a totally different workshop. This workshop is taught by the Carrolls. Because of many, many requests, we are trying to offer regular seminars focused completely on teaching with the Charlotte Mason Approach. Each has completely new material. This one is very exciting. You can learn more about each of our CM Seminars at these links:

Hope this helps! Well, I hope this helps all of you! Wink Have a super day!

With much love,
Cindy…who is heading out in a few minutes to Ft. Bragg to see my favorite soldier! HOOAH! Grin

Purposeful Planning with Phyllis Sather

Join us for our NEW SHOW with Phyllis Sather, from http://www.PhyllisSather.com.

Purposeful Planning

Need some time with your spouse uninterrupted to dream, talk, plan? Planning weekends give you time to dream, to talk together about what you wish, or want, at a time when the other person is really listening. Do you need a plan to keep your family moving in the direction the Lord is leading you? Perhaps you don’t know where the Lord is leading you. Phyllis takes you step-by-step through the process of planning a time together for your family to help determine the path the Lord is choosing for each area of your life. Her family has followed this format for over 12 years and has found that it provides the compass they’ve needed to plan and stay on course. This time-tested method of planning will give your family new direction for the future. Start today! Choose the dates for your planning weekend, read her book which has the entire “how to” included, and go for it! Want to get a head-start? Make plans to join us for our “chat” on this topic this week. Don’t miss it!
