Consider a Family Mission Trip

  Summer is upon us, and many families are open to new adventures and challenges. If you’ve never considered the possibility of a short-term mission trip, now would be a good time to examine the options. It may be too late to make it happen this summer, but you could begin planning for next year.

A Pinch of Patience

  My kitchen is covered in powdered sugar. This is a result of my nine-year-old learning how to use the stand mixer while, at the same time, learning the meaning of the phrase, “add sugar gradually.” I’m trying not to think about how I will wipe the sugar dust from the lighting fixtures, and focus

The Benefits of Summer School

  I have fond memories of the lazy days of summer from my childhood. So, when I began homeschooling, I intended to have our homeschool year follow our local school district’s calendar, with an accompanying summer vacation. I began school the last week of August, and promptly received several invitations for day trips to the

How to Guarantee Your Son Won’t Learn to Read

  I was about to pull my hair out, and my son was near tears. It was reading time again, and as usual, it was not going well. I was frustrated, and he was depressed. What was I doing so wrong? I had started out so hopeful. I had started him out at 2 1/2

Hey Mama Monday: What Is Your Trial Today?

  Hey Mama, Was just thinking about you. What a trial you have been going through lately! All-consuming at times, very unjust, yet you know the Lord has allowed it for a purpose. God’s word says the Christian will encounter many trials before He returns. In these He grows and strengthens our character, works all

Danger of Comparison

  We’ve all heard that children learn at their own pace, that no two children are alike. So why do many of us look at the progress of children of similar ages to determine how well our own children are learning? God has made each and every one of us different, including our own strengths

Writing Newspaper Articles in Your Homeschool

  “What was your favorite homeschool co-op class this past year?” I asked Martha. “I loved the newspaper class!” she gushed. “I loved seeing my articles in the newspapers we made!” As we chatted, I found my mind wandering back to the reasons we had a newspaper writing class to being with. You see, there

Kids in the Kitchen: Strawberry Rhubarb Cake

  It’s summer, and in our home, this means a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. Earlier this summer, I was able to harvest a lot of rhubarb from my amazing neighbors’ rhubarb patch, but haven’t got the moment to make my family’s favorite freezer strawberry rhubarb jam. So currently my freezer is full of
