Planning for Life After Graduation, Mama

Hey Mama, Are you stressing over college prep for your high schoolers? Do you worry that your kids won’t have what it takes to get into a good college or get a good job ? Remember . . . One thing matters most of all: Raising your children up to love and obey the Lord. That they would make Him their

Do You Compare Yourself to Other Mamas, Mama?

Hey Mama, You thought you had an unproductive week (especially compared to everyone else you know). You whispered under your breath that it was useless . . . pointless . . . low yielding . . . you are just not cut out for this.  “But it may have been more productive had I made

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

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

When Mom Has a Minute (or Maybe More)

Picture this: It’s your busiest homeschool day of the week—the one that grabs your best hours and takes you on the road to your co-op or music or swimming lessons or errands. You remember those full days from the last homeschool year and know you’ll have more crazy busy days again next school year. Days

Weaving a Tapestry of History, Mama

Hey Mama, Today is about history . . . yours, your kids’, and our Forefathers’ who have taught us so much (if we’ll be quiet and listen). History doesn’t have to be all serious and Constitution-y. Yes, it can be, but it can be so much more than that, too. It’s baking bread with the
