Homeschooling’s Role in Teaching Practical Life Skills

  Homeschoolers learn all the academic basics. We start with our reading, writing, and arithmetic and go on to social studies, science, and so on. But there’s more to homeschooling than academics. Home education presents an opportunity to learn many practical life skills as well. If you’re homeschooling, or at least thinking about it, here

Homeschool Mom’s Guide to Easy Meals

  I don’t know about anyone else but mealtime takes up a lot of time at our place. I’m usually cooking for 5-6 people at each meal, and I laughingly say it takes them 5 minutes to devour a meal that took me 1 hour to make. I’m sorta teasing.  Anyway, I don’t have the

Water Fountains: Being Refreshed by the Living Water

  In John 4, we find an interesting conversation between Jesus and a Samaritan woman. This was unusual for two reasons. First, she was a woman. Second, she was a Samaritan. According to Jewish customs, for these two reasons, this conversation never should have happened. Jesus, however, is more concerned about the woman’s spiritual well-being

Do You Focus on What Matters?

  I don’t know about you, but it’s so tempting just to check off those boxes in our homeschool. Math, check; Language Arts, check; character training, oops too busy. But when you get right down to the brass tacks, which is more important? So, ask yourself, “Do you focus on what matters?” Now, I’m not

Why I Don’t Regret Homeschooling

  Why I Don’t Regret Homeschooling A question was posed to me the other day while at my six-month dental cleaning that caused me to consider why I don’t regret homeschooling. The hygienist mentioned to my dentist that, with my youngest entering his senior year, I was about to complete my final year of homeschooling.

Homeschoolers Never Stop Learning

  Have you ever met someone who acted like they knew everything or at least thought that they knew everything? As a teacher, these people can be hard, if not impossible, to teach. The same thing is true with an employee that someone is trying to train. If they think they already know it all,

Tips for Making Homeschool Work When You Have a Chronic Illness
