Family Field Trips

  Does your family love the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder? Have you ever imagined your life as one of those early pioneers? We do, and we have. The Little House books were one of the first series our girls read by themselves. Their set is one my grandmother had purchased for herself

Summer Vacation

  Do you take a summer break from school or a summer vacation? Does it really matter which one you call it? I’m going to draw on my 15 years of home education experience and say, “Yes—it matters!” A summer break connotes (implies) a lull in activity, a break from the traditional bookwork, and maybe

Why Mother’s Day Matters

  Dear Mom, back on the 13th of this month the US celebrated Mother’s Day. Maybe you woke up to a breakfast of peanut butter toast and orange juice prepared by your child. Or maybe you received a hand-made card with scribbles on it from your toddler. Maybe, just maybe, you were a little disappointed

Being A Representative

  In the government, being a representative means to work on behalf of your constituents—to make fair and just laws, balance the budget, and choose judge appointments wisely.

Cherish the Memories

  When our daughter was very little, not yet two, my parents gave her the gift of a picture book and a stuffed animal that went with it. The book was Jane Simmon’s Come Along, Daisy! The whimsical illustrations in the book invite the reader into Daisy’s world, as seen through the eyes of a

No More Trophy Children!

  Can we please get one thing right in the new year? Can we agree to no longer have trophy children but just to simply love and cherish our children as they are? Too often homeschoolers feel the need to justify all they, and their children, have done—in order to try to prove to the

Slowing Down and Finding Margin

  We homeschooling mamas are a unique bunch. We are each vastly different individuals, but we often struggle with the same challenges. One of the top challenges I have battled with, and see others battling with is our seeming inability to slow down. Somewhere, somehow, we have this idea that we need to be Super
