Sigh… I’m here with an article to give you tons of encouragement with 5 Reasons NOT to Homeschool Your Kids! (disclaimer:  I “might” be a little tongue in cheek here 🙂

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

A Relaxed View of Preschool and Kindergarten

  I know you mamas. You’re excited! This is it! Your oldest is finally ready to start homeschooling! You’ve been holding your breath until you can start preschool or kindergarten with them.

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
