Finding Time for Ourselves

  Many of us have hobbies and interests outside of homeschooling but find it hard to find balance. How can we give our children and homes first priority and still have the time and energy to pursue those things integral to who we are? I am a writer—one that until recently found it difficult to

Don’t Forget Financial Fitness

  Sometimes we can get so caught up in academics that we forget to teach our kids important life skills. Now, I’m not talking about basic life skills, like brushing your teeth or doing household chores. I’m talking about things like money management. Do your children know what it takes to create a budget? Do

In Everything Give Thanks

  Giving thanks is easy when things are going well. The bills are paid, the kids are healthy, you are caught up on the laundry—these are all easy times to be thankful! What about those not so easy times? The doctor report wasn’t good, your kids are just not getting the hang of math for

Offer Hospitality

  I have a love-hate relationship with the fall season. I’m mesmerized by the beauty of the changing landscape, while reaching for a thick sweater as I grumble over the dropping temperatures. Not only am I conflicted over weather changes but also feel both excited and anxious over approaching holidays. Once the pumpkins are removed

How to have an Attitude of Gratitude

  As Americans, November represents the traditional time to thank God for our blessings. It’s a time to celebrate memories with loved ones as we gobble down turkey and delicious pumpkin pie. It’s a time to relax from our rigorous homeschool schedules. It’s also a time to remember—we should ALWAYS have an ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE!

Seasons: Pilgrim Reflections

  1621: a small band of people, who called themselves Strangers, sailed away from a dock in Plymouth, England, destined for a land they had never seen before. Simply trying to find a haven to worship freely, the Separatists felt God leading them to the New World; they would not rebel against King James I

Hey Mama Monday: for Those Who Work so Hard, but Feel like They Are Failing

  Hey Mama, For those who keep trying and trying, striving to please, and wistfully turning to the Lord, lifting up your eyes and hands only to say, “Lord, I keep working hard. I continue to try. I desire to do all things according to Your will and desire. I am not sure what to

Homeschooling Through the Holidays

  More often than not, the holiday season comes and goes in a whirlwind with activities and events that seem to fill every available hour. In some homeschools, schoolwork takes a back seat until January. Instead of carrying on with traditional assignments, time is spent on making crafts for gift giving or preparing special meals.
