Dealing with Disappointment

  How do you handle disappointment? Do you turn to God, and ask Him to make the situation better, to make you better? Or do you turn inward, and become bitter? Our children are watching how we handle our emotions, so it should come as no surprise when we see them imitate us. The Bible

Games for Math Class

  All throughout our homeschooling adventures, one thing was certain: spring fever. There would always come a time each year when it was not only difficult for our girls to stay focused on tasks, it was hard for me to concentrate on helping them, because we all wanted to go outside. We did come up

The Long Haul

  This is the time of year when I usually felt the full effects of homeschool burnout. As I faced my own struggle with mild depression, and a lack of daylight, I would often also struggle with whether or not I was doing enough to help my children learn. Here is the thing I learned

Winter Nature Study

  I was first formally introduced to Nature Study when I read Karen Andreola’s book A Charlotte Mason Companion almost 17 years ago. The idea that children learned from the natural world around them was not new to me, but how to encourage and direct them in that pursuit was. If you want a good,

Emmanuel – God with Us

  The prophet Isaiah spoke of Immanuel, God with us. Immanuel would be the sign from God to the Israelites, letting them know that God had not forgotten them. But what does Immanuel: God with us mean for today, more than 2000 years later, other than just another pretty Christmas card? Immanuel, God with us,

Thankfulness All Year Long

  During the month of November we try to focus on being thankful. We talk about sharing and gratitude and blessings all month long. Especially here in America, we take our Thanks-giving seriously. We plan feasts, invite family and friends over, and usually have some holiday traditions. While it is good and right to give

Textiles for the Win!

  Finding a unique passion that can fuel your child’s interest in learning is a gem worth digging for. Some kids like writing, others like sports, while certain explorers collect rocks or butterflies. Whether your child is six or 16, when it happens, the day when you know they have found a skill or interest

Write The Essay

  We homeschoolers are an odd bunch. We sometimes think that because we can do something means that we should do something. This reminds me of 1 Corinthians 10:23: “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.” Quite often, we
