Posted by CarolB | 5 comments
There’s a great housekeeping tip cycling around on the web recently. And it’s so simple: host a monthly support group in your home for people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and at least one of them will be agitated enough to clean your house. LOVE this idea. But until you get that arranged, here are some simpler...
Are We There Yet?
It’s May. It’s almost the end of our school year. Finally—at least for our family, who follows a nine-month school year. Why is it that the last few weeks of homeschooling are the hardest? Maybe it has something to do with the end being in sight. Maybe it has something to do with the perfect outside weather. Maybe it has...
Embracing Spring
This is the year. We will laugh gaily through our day (even while completing math lessons!), the children will sing and cry out, “More, more, more!” I bought all of the right curriculum. I have planned all the field trips, and I even have a head start on this month’s crafts. I will dance with a broom, and...
Blessing Your Children
Posted by Guest | 5 comments
A few years ago I read a short devotion about a mother who daily prayed a prayer over her children—by placing her hand on her child’s head and saying a prayer for whatever their need might be that day.

Homeschooling for Excellence and Character
Posted by Guest | 2 comments
When I started homeschooling my first child, I had no idea I would eventually have 11 kids. I also had no idea that my six daughters would decide to form a girl band called Cimorelli (our last name), become one of the hottest groups on YouTube with 150 million views and a half million subscribers, get signed by Universal Music,...
Planning, Pondering and Perplexing
Most of us have at least been tempted to begin planning and pondering for the 2012-2013 school year. Usually this planning and pondering begins with at least a small journey of “self-analysis”. I don’t mean we are all headed into the psychiatrist’s office at this time of year, although we might...
