How Do You Balance Building Character and Academics, Mama?

Hey Mama, In an ideal world, you would be able to perfectly balance character building and academics. But this isn’t an ideal world, and it never will be. If you have to choose between teaching character building and academics, always go with character building. You’ll never regret raising up godly children who obey the Lord.

What’s Your Homeschool Bucket List?

Since the 2007 movie The Bucket List, it seems everyone has a bucket list for something. A bucket list is defined by Merriam-Webster (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bucket%20list) as “a list of things that one has not done before but wants to do before dying.” Many of these lists are life lists, work lists, or self-improving lists.

“Come” and “Go”, Mama

Community service can be as simple as helping your kids to rake your elderly neighbor’s leaves to helping a candidate run for office . . . from baking goods for a fundraiser to bringing a meal to a new mom in your neighborhood. Jesus was a community servant. It is Who He was and what

From Elementary School to Middle School Homeschooling, Mama

Was it yesterday my toddler was putting noodles in her sock and washing her toes in her milk and then covering herself in lotion and markers?

3 Reasons I Teach My Middle Schoolers to Write Like Reporters

I found a struggle with my children when they were in late elementary school. They loved to write and had good things to say, but they wandered throughout their paper from this subject to that subject. I couldn’t get them to focus and stay on topic. Enter Newspaper Writing!
