Homeschooling A Special Child

  We’ve never been a “label” kind of family so our son has never been officially diagnosed with any disorder, but unfortunately, he definitely shows signs of one of the “A” disorders. We decided early, however, that that would not define him. He’s 7 now, and we have come through so many challenges already. He’s

How to Successfully Homeschool During the Holidays

By the time you’re reading this, it will be October already!  This year has been nutty, and I can’t believe it’s almost over.  If you’re anything like me, you’ve been thinking about the holidays, and quite honestly, they can be a bit stressful.  Why?  Quite simply, I think it’s because we try to do TOO

Are Your Kids Homeward Bound?

  I keep being totally floored at the people telling me they may homeschool this year!  I mean, anyone who knows me knows I’m a total and complete advocate of homeschooling.  But these changes that are upcoming are encouraging some very die-hard public schoolers to consider this amazing school choice. But invariably some people will

Charlotte Mason Homeschool WITHOUT Losing Your Mind

  I have to admit that I am a HUGE Charlotte Mason fan in our homeschool! In fact, I’m completely CRAZY about this awesome way to teach your children. But I also know that when you first sit down and start reading it, your mind can become a bit bogged down, and it seems overwhelming!

T is for Thankful

  As I sit here in the quiet, I wonder what I should write about this month? Should I do a serious article on homeschooling that encourages moms to keep on, or should I do a funny tongue-in-cheek article about the random things that show you you’re really nuts to homeschool in the first place?

Why I’m Not an Unschooler

  Why I’m Not an Unschooler There is a lot of talk these days about unschooling, what it is and what it’s not. There is so much good in unschooling that I don’t want to throw it out, but I am not a complete unschooler. First off, here are some things I love and highly

Why Taking it Slow May Sometimes Be the Best Route

  Faster, faster, faster! Our world constantly screams at us to do it faster and better. There is no time for the enjoyment, the journey. It’s only the destination that matters. But is this really true? Is this what we should be attaining with our children’s education? Should we cram them full of as much

How to Guarantee Your Son Won’t Learn to Read

  I was about to pull my hair out, and my son was near tears. It was reading time again, and as usual, it was not going well. I was frustrated, and he was depressed. What was I doing so wrong? I had started out so hopeful. I had started him out at 2 1/2

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

Husbands Are Blessings

  In honor of Husband Appreciation Day, I thought I would remind all of us homeschool mamas about the blessing of having a Godly husband.  Now, I do know some of you probably don’t have Godly husbands but you do have one who supports you homeschooling your children, so they are still a huge blessing
