New Year’s Motivation

  “Tomorrow, tomorrow, we’ll finish this tomorrow. It’s only a day away.” Procrastination can become the norm in a homeschool family’s day unless we are diligent to inspire motivation.

New Year’s Resolution: Rest

  The new year brings with it the promise of a fresh start. We make goals and write resolutions. We edit lesson plans and evaluate our students’ progress.

Simple Meals Homeschoolers Can Make & Share

  When a dear friend’s mother became ill this past fall, our family did what it does best in difficult situations: we cooked meals for her family. And when she passed away, our eldest daughter immediately baked a batch of brownies for the family. Having homemade meals can be such a comfort for families struggling

Making Goals for 2018

  Every December I sit down and pray about focusing on a certain character trait or attribute that the Lord would like me to work on for the new year. Last year my word was Faithfulness. It was a tough year in many aspects, but during the storms I could see my faith grow because

Vacation, Homeschool Style

  We school our children year-round. When they were young, it was so much easier to keep up math and grammar and spelling lessons all the way through the year. I noticed that both my children tended to forget math facts if we took a summer break along with the rest of the neighborhood of
