Morning by Morning

  Some of you are killing this whole homeschool/organization life. You arrive at every field trip/co-op/trip to the grocery store with your cute thirty-one totes and rolly carts color-coordinated with the names and ages of your children. You manage your day with military precision. Every hour is accounted for, and seldom does a day go

A Tried and True Book List for Boys

  I adore a good book list. As a diehard bookworm, I am always on the lookout for a good book and my next favorite author. As a homeschool mom, book lists help focus on and make goals for my son. The same dear son who also happens to be dyslexic and not so fond

Life Skills: Are You Teaching Them?

  Did you know that June 13th is National Weed Your Garden Day? Weed Your Garden Day doesn’t hold the same appeal for me as say, National Doughnut Day (which is also in June), but it brings up a few questions. For one, who comes up with a National Weed Your Garden Day? Is there,

A Little Dirt Never Hurt

  My mom recently sent me a picture of a large mason jar filled with dirt. The dirt had been swept up (by her) from the hardwood floors of my parents’ farmhouse.  She wasn’t commenting on the color or texture of the dirt. It was plain Missouri hill dirt. And I knew exactly what it

For the Brokenhearted

  I can still remember the feeling. The hopelessness of it all. How I felt almost frozen. I was inadequate, ill prepared, and just a bit angry. I didn’t know what to do or how to act. My first response was to put myself to bed; I wanted to hide underneath my covers and sleep

When You Need Motivation

  Don’t let the all perky homeschool Pinterest posts fool you. Every homeschool goes through rough patches. It’s real life. And real life is filled with real problems. It is not uncommon for homeschool mommas to have seasons of burnout and exhaustion. Let’s face it. That laundry doesn’t do itself and somebody has to feed

Quitting December

  I’m about to reveal some homeschool lessons I’ve had to learn the hard way. Never try and attend the cheap movie during the public school’s spring break…it is better when you get the movie theater practically to yourselves. Purchase your own copy of Cranberry Thanksgiving to read. It will never ever be available at

Hug Your Season

  I’m not alone in my adoration of autumn. There is something magical in the advent of fuzzy socks, hot apple cider, and our annual leaf nature study. Or maybe this is just what our homeschool looks like. I also can’t be the only one who has been busy “pinning” pumpkin recipes alternately with pumpkin
