What Can a Four-Year-Old Do, Mama?

Your house may be a wreck once in a while because of the homeschooling and mothering and training you are busy doing. If you are all about cleaning house and cooking perfection, you just might be missing the most important things. Training gets pushed aside, schooling goes on the back burner, and relationships go on

Is a Child Only as Grammatical as His Parents, Mama?

Hey Mama, God bless you and keep you in this new year . . . whether you’re great at grammar or not. Let me share a little secret. I know a number of homeschooling parents (dead serious) who are pretty bad at grammar, not so good at spelling, and who are wholly committed to homeschooling

How Do You Write Your Schedule for the Year, Mama?

Hey Mama, How you write your schedule has to fit YOUR life and your family. I can give you all the ideas in the world, but if something doesn’t work for you, it’s not going to work for your family. If this area is a struggle for you, the first thing you need to do

Hey Mama Monday: Does Spelling Make You Smile, Sing, and Celebrate, Mama?

Did You Run Out of Time to Do Everything You Planned, Mama?

Hey Mama,   I don’t know about you, but this could be a common lament at my house: “Help, I ran out of time to do everything I planned!” In my zoo (otherwise known as a family–grin), that’s a common problem. I can make all kinds of plans, but real life all too often steps
