5 Ways That Kill A Child’s Love for History

  “I liked about every subject, except history.” Shock followed by sadness swept over me when a friend shared this fact about her childhood education. Since treasuring stories of yore was a natural pastime during my childhood, it was news that anyone – let alone a child – would not like history. Which in turn

Do You Need A Homeschool Redo?

  You know who you are. You started your school year with every “i” dotted and every “t” crossed. You spent productive days during the summer weeding through every nook and cranny of your house. You set aside planning days for your homeschool, armed with decorated planning journals, washi tape and sparkly pens. On the

Preparing to Travel

  Can children still travel long distances without electronics? After traveling 14 hours to Florida for our last vacation in one day and about 24 hours back with the “Exodus out of Florida” over two days, I can now say… “most of the time”. “Are we there yet?” “How much longer?” “I’m bored!” These are

It’s All About the Heart

  As I sat and watched my 10-year-old daughter draw this beautiful little masterpiece pictured above, I began to think about her little heart. It is so tender and open to learn whatever my husband and I teach her. That is a HUGE responsibility. She takes to heart anything we say or do. She follows

I “Quit” School!

  Last week we quit. Everything. All of our clubs and co-op’s. We just quit. You must think I am crazy. I think I am …Just a bit, if I can be honest. I mulled over it quite a bit. I asked my husband what I should do… He was very supportive of whatever I

Hey Mama Mondays: Be an Example, Because Little Ones Are Watching

  Hey Mama, For ourselves and for our teens… I never wish to take lightly the importance of walking in a manner worthy of Christ and His calling. How easy it would be to discard what I know to be true in order to be “true to myself.” There are eyes and ears everywhere, young

More Weakness, More Strength

  Mama said there’d be days like this, right? What about weeks and years? Homeschooling with a growing family isn’t easy. Like when I’m reading to my five and three-year-old kids and my seven-year-old perfectionist has a classic meltdown in the other room. “I hate this! I can’t do typing.” “It’s ok, just finish the

When the Task Overwhelms

  “I can’t do it!” “It’s too hard!” “I hate this!” Some days, those are fighting words! I’ve always told my children that I don’t expect them to get everything they ever do right all the time, but I do expect them to try. The rough days usually start with one or more of these
