Digging in Coffee Grounds

  I love being able to reuse things, in unique ways; from crafting and creating, the challenge of taking nothing and making it something is fun. At my home, I consume a little bit of coffee-caffeine and a whole lot of Jesus to fuel my mornings, so I can be homeschool-mom-ready. Once my espresso brews or

Why We Need A Vision Bigger Than Homeschooling

  As the young boy was handed the warm soup and bread, he knew his life had changed. A street urchin once wandering the filthy alleys of Bristol, the lad had found his way to the Boy’s Orphan House—just one of the ten thousand orphans who would find a new life because of the vision

Teach Geography the Fun Way

  It would be wonderful fun to travel to every nation on earth to meet the people, explore the sights, and taste the delicious food. We could climb mountains, sail lakes, travel across deserts on camels, and wander through the tall prairie grasses of the world. Rats! There’s not enough money in my bank account!

Time-Out for Mommies

  I don’t know about you, but sometimes (okay, many times) I have to send my kids to a room or a chair to just chill out! It usually is met with protests, but as a general rule, works wonders to cool down tempers or make friends out of hostile siblings again. Lately, I’ve been

Kids in the Kitchen: Smoothie Time

The days are getting warmer, longer, and the kids are getting sweaty.  When the weather gets nice, one of my kiddos’ favorite treats is yogurt smoothies.  We have made a few different flavors over the years, and have a few favorites.  Smoothies are easy to make (even with kiddos) and inexpensive.  My kiddos’ top two

Hey Mama Monday: God Has Some Encouraging Words for You

Hey Mama, I heard you are drowning. You thought you were going to wake up and start a fresh new day, lots would get done, and you’d go to bed tonight content that so much was accomplished. It’s not looking that way, though, and the day is already underway and moving too fast. Your first

Reminding Ourselves to Remember God

  The sin that pops out over and over again to me as I journey slowly through the Bible with my kids is simple: We forget God. Adam and Even forgot about God when they ate the fruit from the tree. All the people from Noah’s time forgot God, except for Noah and his close

4 Summer Learning Ideas for Homeschooled Teens

  Do you hear that? It’s the sound of crickets, fireworks, a car radio, and kids splashing in a pool. Okay, so maybe you don’t really hear them just yet, but summer is so close, you can almost hear the sounds of the season, can’t you? As someone who lives in a climate where winter

Pack-Rat-Day

  I’m a proud neat freak. My oldest daughter, on the other hand, is a pack rat. We frequently clash over her stashes of papers, crafts and other junk/treasures. I’ve learned a few things about helping her cope with her clutter so that we can coexist peacefully. If you also have a pack rat, here’s

6 Secrets of Successful Multi-Age Crafting

  My kids love crafting! I love that they learn so much while creating. But with kids ranging in age from teen to baby, our crafting time takes some definite intentionality. I can’t just go to Pinterest, pick one beautiful project, and get the kids started. Their abilities and interests are just too varied. Some

Confessions of a Reluctant Home Educator

  We were thrilled with our firstborn, but whenever people congratulated us, they usually added, “Enjoy your time with her. Soon she’ll be in school, and you’ll be writing again.” Sure, I’d silently retort, in about eighteen years. God had clearly blessed us with our daughter. He’d also made it clear we were to homeschool
