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

Comprehensive Resource Guide for Homeschool Families

  Homeschooling parents love to share their resources with others. This resource guide for homeschool families is provided by homeschooling families for homeschooling families. If you have ever been in the same room as more than one homeschool mom, then you know that the conversation often leads to curriculum: the good, bad, and the ugly.

  How can you homeschool through the distractions of the holidays? It is possible, but it will take some work, and I’ve got some tips and tricks to keep homeschooling fun during the holiday season!

Seize the Moment

  The thrill is gone. The new has worn off the new school year. For some of us, the new way of educating has lost its luster. It’s not only the time of year, but it may also be the way we are teaching our children that is tarnishing the excitement of learning. I was

To Get What We Need

  In your home, who is the resident authority on etiquette? Who says “Sit up straight,” “Don’t talk with food in your mouth” or “Please, chew with your mouth closed,” “Lower your voice” or “Use indoor voices!” “Say please, and say thank you,” “No hitting,” “No pinching,” “Don’t fuss,” “Use your words.” “Comb your hair

Benefits of Online Homeschool Curriculum for New Homeschoolers

  I have to admit, I didn’t use online homeschool curriculum for new homeschoolers when I started homeschooling. That’s because there really wasn’t any. Hey, at that time, Google wasn’t even a thing! I used educational CD-ROMs like Reader Rabbit and Where is Carmen San Diego?  to spice things up a bit now and then.

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

The Three Things Every Parent Should Know About Processing

  I want to set the record straight: you are NOT the cause of your child’s learning failures, inability to pay attention, or frequently inappropriate behaviors. Blame does not lie (100%) on your curriculum choices, daily schedule, or child-raising philosophy.  Rather the culprit is something involuntary and unintentional. No amount of scolding, yelling, crying, or
