Hey Mama Monday: Let’s Grow a Garden, Mama

  Hey Mama,   Greetings! I kill nearly every plant that comes into my house. In keeping with that gift, I also let things die outside.

Remember When? Homeschool Yearbooks

  My high school class is having a reunion next year. As we’ve been making plans, I’m sure I’m not the only one who has referred to my yearbook to put names and faces together. As I scan through the pages, I recall fond, and some not-so-fond, memories. That’s why most of us not only

Hey Mama Monday: Cursive Writing, Copywork, and Penmanship, Mama

  Hey Mama,   Is copywork important? How about good penmanship? I would have to argue that both will benefit your children’s education and future. If your children are copying good literature, their reading, writing, and vocabulary improve. Just pick a good piece of literature your children love and have them copy a short quote

Hey Mama Monday: Grading and Testing – Is It Necessary, Mama?
