A few days ago I realized I had not submitted my monthly HOTM article.  Not only that but I had not finished my monthly HOTM article.  Honestly? I had not even begun to think about my monthly HOTM article.  I quickly jotted off a note to my “boss” (HA!) and let her know that life had taken a huge swing at me and...

I homeschool. Everyone who knows me knows I homeschool. But if they had to guess my reasoning they’d be wrong. Sure, I had my reasons when we initially began homeschooling: issues with the school, bullying, etc. But those reasons changed and morphed and took on a whole new life. Everyone I know who homeschools does it...

“What kind of homeschooler are you?” If I’ve heard that question once, I’ve heard it a thousand times. And a thousand times I have struggled with the answer.

A no-mom feels that a child needs to hear no on occasion so that they are used to hearing it and know how to react upon hearing it. A...

After a very rough year I vented on my blog and I received a few comments telling me I had it good. Truly, I knew I had it good, I just wanted a few minutes to let it out and instead I was bombarded with well-meaning comments letting me know exactly how off base I was. Yikes! And a good morning to you too! I was extremely...

What is metamorphosis? Most all of us learned that extremely long word in or around the 4th grade, long before it could roll off our tongues easily and certainly before we could understand the complexity of what it is that we call metamorphosis. In fact, it is my belief, no not my belief, I am assured that the understanding of...

A while back I had a dream. In this dream I was looking through my camera lens and I saw a plate. The plate was resting precariously on a the point of a triangle…a yellow triangle. I could see many things around the plate and triangle. Birds were flying around peacefully. Butterflies. Bright white clouds were floating by....
