Character Comes First

  I have read this over and over, but it’s really starting to “finally” sink in that it’s so true. Character really does come first in homeschooling. I guess I’m a little slow sometimes, but I have figured out until I teach my son diligence that all the schoolwork in the world won’t make him

Education of an Imagination – Part Two

  What Does This Matter to Me? Now that we have scanned the childhood of Hannah More we return to our original question: What does it take to educate an imagination that changes the world? What practical gleanings can we take for our own teaching?   Start Early Hannah learned to be a great writer

Education of an Imagination – Part One

  What does it take to educate an imagination that changes her generation, her nation, her era, her world? During the great 19th century campaign to end the British Slave Trade one woman did so through her pen. Novels, poetry, and inexpensive pamphlets flowed furiously from the imagination of Hannah More. But like all children

Baby Prepping

  As I write this, I’m currently 29 weeks pregnant with baby #4. The baby is due sometime in January, so we will still be actively homeschooling. What am I doing to prepare for this huge event? Actually, I am already prepping so that when the time comes, I will hopefully be “mostly” prepared. Here’s

A Lesson in Patience and Maturity

  “I just love it when my friends decide it’s time for me to start a diet!” said no person ever.  I may know without a doubt that I need to start that diet, but if it isn’t something I’ve come to terms with or decided on my own, it will either flat out not

Sowing Spiritual Seed – Part Two

  One of the great influences used of God during this time of seeking in William’s life was pastor and celebrated hymn writer John Newton. John himself was a man who had started life with a gentle hand guiding him in paths of righteousness. His mother, Elizabeth Newton, was a sickly woman, but this did

Sowing Spiritual Seed – Part One

  What if you were not guaranteed tomorrow with your children? What if a relative didn’t approve of your faith and snatched away your children? Or what if a premature death cut short the light of maternal influence? What would be the one thing you could teach them that would woo their hearts to Christ?

Here are some practical ways to impart wisdom to your sons and daughters. Stewardship Everything, including our money and possessions, belongs to God because He made it and

Set Comparisons Aside

  I have always found it hard to get back to our school schedule after the holidays have passed. Facing the later half of the school year, I constantly analyze how my kids are doing with our curriculum and how I can push them further. Worst of all, I catch myself comparing their growth and

Ideas for Keeping in Touch with Long Distance Relatives

  Passion is the heart of story. No good writer has ever existed without him being thoroughly interested in what he is writing about – as an essay by a young English man over two hundred years ago teaches us. While we don’t know much about the childhood education of Thomas Clarkson, we do have

Faithfulness

  How do people invest 14 years of their lives to homeschool their children? Ask any Christian homeschool parent and they’ll tell you – faithfulness. Faithfulness can be described as being strict or thorough in the performance of duty. Faithfulness, then, applied to homeschooling is persevering in teaching your children even when you are criticized
