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,

The Most Important Subject

  Several years ago, my husband and I were convicted of not spending enough time in God’s Word as a family. It wasn’t a vital part of our lives. We would have a Bible class during school, but it wasn’t a priority. It was just another subject that we studied as part of our curriculum.

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

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.

Games Galore

I have always enjoyed playing educational games, but as a homeschool mom, I now see the value of purchasing games galore when they’re used to reinforce a learning concept. Here are a few family favorites. Tally Rally is a fast-paced equation game. Simple to learn, but challenging enough for math puzzle addicts, Tally Rally is

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?

Teaching History Like Scripture Does – Part One

  Did you know of the Bible‘s sixty-six books, forty are historical accounts? And of the 26 which are not technically defined as such, most have major historical pillars, such as Paul’s argument for justification by faith in his Roman epistle and the many poetic hindsights in Psalms. Even Revelation is a prophetic book of

Hey Mama Monday: God Is Waiting and Ready to Hold You Up

  Hey Mama, this is kind of urgent so I am typing fast; forgive any mistakes here. The urgency comes from the fact that I have heard you are in a heap of tears, because the grief is a lot to bear right now. You keep walking yet troubles still come, today even, new problems
