Focus on the Little Things

I have been thinking a lot lately about trying a new thing in our home school. As my baby becomes more involved and mobile, keeping her busy and safe while working with the other three has become a challenge. Add to that my oldest son’s need for constant assistance when it comes to his school

Academic Growth in His Perfect Timing

Spring is rapidly approaching, and with it marks the downhill stretch of our school year. This is the time I struggle not to panic over what we did not get done. Every fall I have lofty plans of what I expect to accomplish during our school year. It always involves reading the finest literature, and

Climbing the Ugly Mountain

You make plans.  You struggle over choices and possible outcomes.   There are sacrifices and battles in order to make it happen.  Then you take big steps into the journey with hopeful eyes only to be met with the biggest brick wall in town.  Maybe the future now looks exactly the way you DIDN’T want it

Just Do You

The people in my house are loud. Unquestionably loud. Deafeningly loud. I, however, am quiet. How quiet? Church mice might occasionally ask me to speak up.

I have tumbled this around in my head for days as I proposed to get it all out . . .and I have come to this conclusion. Homeschooling is by far one of the hardest things that I have ever done in my life. Well, it stacks up right next to being a mama, in

Homeschooling with Confidence

I don’t know about you, but I have found confidence to be a rather fickle creature; especially when it comes to homeschooling. Although I knew that pulling my kids out of “Brick and Mortar” five years ago and schooling them at home was something that I needed to do, the things that people would say

The Bible as the Main Textbook

Quotations that come to mind first are not from homeschoolers, but, instead, are ones that I would like to direct to homeschoolers, especially Christian homeschoolers who believe the Bible is the main textbook on which to raise children.

Climbing Mt. Homeschooling

I was discouraged about the progress of our homeschooling recently. I dumped my tale of woe to my dear husband (over a Starbucks, of course.). “Nothing seems to be going as planned,” I lamented. “How did I ever think I could teach one child how to figure out the area of a circle, while training
