Finding a Fortress from Fretting

  Fretting. That gnawing sensation in the pit of our stomach, often found escorting doubts that either we aren’t enough, or our actions are all for nothing. How do we overcome it? Especially when it reaches the all-consuming stage, defining who we are and parading our worst fears before our eyes. In His great love,

What I Wish I Would Have Learned Before I Began Homeschooling – Part Three: Boundaries with Ourselves

  I previously shared with you some of the lessons I have been learning about how setting boundaries with our children and with others can help us homeschool more effectively. However, sometimes the biggest boundary conflict does not come from without; it comes from within. Have you ever felt like your homeschool day just “gets

Hug Your Season

  I’m not alone in my adoration of autumn. There is something magical in the advent of fuzzy socks, hot apple cider, and our annual leaf nature study. Or maybe this is just what our homeschool looks like. I also can’t be the only one who has been busy “pinning” pumpkin recipes alternately with pumpkin

What I Wish I Would Have Learned Before I Began Homeschooling – Part Two: Boundaries With Others

  Last month, I wrote about the challenge of setting boundaries with my children and how important that is to homeschooling effectively. Another area where it is helpful to learn and apply appropriate boundaries is with other adults in your life. One of the ways that many homeschoolers face an invasion of boundaries is unsolicited

Today Was a Bad Day!

  Some days, nothing works out. The toddler screams and throws his toys. The four-year-old refuses to nap and the seven-year-old crosses her arms and pouts over her math. All. At. The. Same. Time.

You ARE a Good Mom

  Our culture in America right now puts a lot of pressure on moms, in spite of all the pushback from real life. The list of unspoken rules that signify being a “good mom” are endless, yet viciously wounding. If you polled 100 moms today, I expect the majority would produce quite a few things
