This year our girls are involved in a group called Keepers of the Faith...and our girls group is called Keepers at Home. It is a group of girls that strives to learn what God's plan is for young women of faith. We go once a month and work towards badges that are in our book...all the while working on the things that a Proverbs 31 girl might do to prepare herself for being a women, wife, and mom one day! It's so much fun!
Last month they made soap...I was on a mission trip with the camera when Jay took them. He's such an amazing daddy...he was the only man in the girls group. They have groups for boy called Contenders of the faith that work on skills Godly young me should know.
First, they start out their meeting with a devotion on Proverbs 31. Our girls have almost memorized the entire chapter!!! It's been challenging and convicting for me to go back through and memorize those verses. 
Then they played a game for teamwork that worked on diligence and patience as they worked together to get the donut in their partner's mouth! Then...they got to EAT the donut...their favorite part!
After devotion time, they work on a badge and this time it was a beading badge. We had a wonderful instructor that taught the girls all about the history of beading, different kinds of beads, and how to bead all sorts of things. But, mainly this time we worked on a seed bead ring.
She let all the girls pick their own color beads from TONS of different colors and types of beads.

They both love all kinds of arts and crafts...so I knew Keepers would be the perfect club for them!
The best part is that they get to hang out with LOTS of sweet girls each month and make lots of friends. They both have really good friends already and it's great for me to hang out with some other moms too! It's great to have the encouragement of other home school moms too!
Here are the finished rings...
Anli loves blue...and hers was just beautiful!
Virginia chose fall colors and really made a lovely ring. She has been wearing it every day since!
