Embrace Self-Directed Learning

One of the advantages of homeschooling is that we can embrace self-directed learning before college. Think about it. A child in the public school system is told which classes to take for years with a small window of opportunity to pick several electives. Even within these electives, a child is limited to what the teacher

Grammar: When, Why, and How, Mama

Ruth Beechick said, “After children write well, sometime in their teen years, they can learn some grammar so they will be educated about it. They will not have been burned out on it, and they may actually enjoy it at that time.”  Sounds like a nice, relaxed approach.  We like to take it easy, too.

Constitution and Elections

What better time to teach about the election process than during an election year? There is more to elections in the United States than just casting a ballot. Our Constitution has details about national elections. Plus, each state has certain rules to govern the conduct of elections. That’s not to mention campaigns and political parties.

How Do Homeschoolers Get Into College?

Many first starting out with homeschooling wonder, “How do homeschoolers get into college?” Regardless of the age of their children, this can be on the forefront of their minds if college is the end goal. Even though college is not the goal of all homeschooling families, it is for many. When I first started homeschooling,

Finding Balance as a Family in a Busy World

Do you ever feel pulled in a million directions? You want to keep your house clean (forget tidy!), feed your family, homeschool the kids, serve at church, serve in the homeschool co-op, grow in your relationship with the Lord, and stay healthy. Is that possible? Feeling pulled in so many directions leads to being overwhelmed.

What Should Be Our Priority, Mama?

Like me, maybe you find yourself not quite ready. I have so much I want to do and share with my children – how will I fit it all in? I know I need to cry out to the Lord and ask Him to wipe the worry off the chalkboard of my heart. “I will cry unto

What Are Homesteaders and Are They Homeschoolers?

As the homesteading movement continues to grow, many are left wondering what are homesteaders? This term has recently been revived as more families choose the life of self-sufficiency. It is important to begin by pointing out the difference between a farm and a homestead. The main difference is its size. A homestead is essentially a

What’s Your Homeschool Bucket List?

Since the 2007 movie The Bucket List, it seems everyone has a bucket list for something. A bucket list is defined by Merriam-Webster (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bucket%20list) as “a list of things that one has not done before but wants to do before dying.” Many of these lists are life lists, work lists, or self-improving lists. Recently, I
