Turning Oh-No! Days Into Ah-Yes!

  As a homeschool parent, teacher, and human being, I’ve experienced my share of oh-no! days. I imagine you have, too. In fact, yesterday was nearly an oh-no! day, but writing this blog turned it into an ah-yes! day.

The Lessons Caedmon Learned

  Do you have children that feel intimidated in some areas of their life? My children were all incredibly shy. They never wanted to speak or perform in front of other people. Yet, they had a lot of good stuff to say and were talented musically. I was inspired by Caedmon, a British shepherd from

Hey Mama Monday: Teach The Constitution From A Christian Perspective, Mama

  Hey Mama, What a crazy world we live in! Seen the news lately? Disasters, riots, trials, and tribulation all seem to be the “new normal” these days. The Bible tells us trials will come and go. Some last longer than others, and some are so painful you cannot breathe. It’s easy to ask, “WHY,

How to Be a Donkey

  Palm Sunday. It’s a joyous day. We go to Sunday school and church, listen to a cantata of hosannas, and often leave with sprigs of palm leaves. Sometimes our children come into the “big” church waving paper palm branches. Christians around the world commemorate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And without a doubt, it’s
