Immersion

  Experts in teaching foreign languages insist that immersion is the best way to encourage second language proficiency. In fact, they tell me that as a Spanish teacher, I should be speaking in Spanish for about 90% of each class period. Speaking from experience, this is extremely difficult. While we do speak a lot of

Hey Mama Monday: Time for Everything, Mama

  Hey Mama,   I don’t know about you, but this could be a common lament at my house: “Help! I ran out of time to do everything I planned!” In my zoo (otherwise known as a family–grin), that’s a common problem. I can make all kinds of plans, but real life all too often

  Hey Mama,   When they’re still small, it’s hard to believe our littles will ever get big—but my, how time flies!

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, We Are Dust

  Hey Mama,   God’s Word teaches us that we are weak in nature. Our frame is dust. But out of His kindness and understanding, He recognizes our frailties. Still, He has given us His Word. We are responsible to read it, to apply it, to pick up our cross and follow Him, to strive
