Family Field Trips

  Does your family love the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder? Have you ever imagined your life as one of those early pioneers? We do, and we have. The Little House books were one of the first series our girls read by themselves. Their set is one my grandmother had purchased for herself

Confidence in Sunshine!

  “Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth,” Hosea 6:3 (NIV). I love the movie, The Sound of Music! I grew up singing, “How

Socialization Again?

  “But what about socialization?” How many times have you heard that question? Do you suppose that the people who ask are not prepared for your reaction? Why do they even ask? For a long time, I thought people who asked that question were just being nosy and far too interested in my life and

  It’s almost time to start a new school year for those of us who begin at the end of summer. Our new school year begins in July, and I thought I’d share a few things that we do to prepare for the upcoming academic year. The list below is in no particular order and

Moms, Don’t Forget the Library!

  As a mommy of a preschooler and a toddler, I’m always on the lookout for fun, and oftentimes, free activities. Consistently attending library storytime at the local library was one of the best decisions I made for my children in the last calendar year. Even small towns usually have libraries with a weekly storytime,

Tea Time is Read Aloud Time

  When my children were younger, I struggled to keep everyone at the table at the same time. Living books were important to me, but my rambunctious bunch wouldn’t quiet down. I was okay with them playing with LEGOs® or squishing clay while I read, but quietly? That seldom happened. At that time, only one

  Summer vacation has started for many of us homeschoolers as it’s a time of renewal and relaxation. Yet, we should also take this opportunity to develop a deeper bond with our children! Our busy schedule during the school year can sometimes get in the way of one of our top priorities — our kids.

How to Choose an Online Class

  So, it’s the end of the school year in our home and I’m already thinking about next year. It seems I’m not alone because, in the past week, two moms have asked me about curriculum choices. In particular, they were both asking about online courses. This has been on my mind lately, as well.

Hey Mama Monday: Be Patient Through the Trials

  Hey Mama, No trial too big, no pain too deep, no fear too great, no hurdle too high. With The Lord all things are possible. He keeps and sustains us. He watches over His own. Those of you who are struggling right now with great trials (and I know personally so many of you

Summer Vacation

  Do you take a summer break from school or a summer vacation? Does it really matter which one you call it? I’m going to draw on my 15 years of home education experience and say, “Yes—it matters!” A summer break connotes (implies) a lull in activity, a break from the traditional bookwork, and maybe

Teaching History Like Scripture Does – Part Three

  As we move from our introduction into our first case study teaching history like Scripture does, I highly encourage you to pause, reach for your Sword of the Spirit, and follow with me. While space does not allow me to insert all the Scripture we will cover, the key verses will be only understood

Teaching History Like Scripture Does – Part Two

  How Scripture Answers Life’s Big Questions? Ultimately, the quest of history is not to tell us where we have been but where we are going. It does this by answering the three looming questions that burn in every human soul. 1. Is There a God? 2. Why Are We Here? 3. What Is Truth?
