You Spent How Much on That?
Posted by Debra | 0 comments
At this time of year you might be trying to pay off credit card bills for the curriculum you bought at the summer conventions. Or you might be stretched because you somehow eeked it out of your grocery money or your date-night budget and have been spreading everything a little thinly for a few months. I’ve been there. We...
Meeting Your Child’s Needs
Posted by LaToya | 0 comments
Last time I shared about my struggle to find the “perfect curriculum.” At the end I mentioned that after finally finding something that fit I was left wondering if my possibly gifted son was too advanced for the program. Before my son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) I had a very hard time seeing past...
Just the Basics, Ma’am
Posted by Tricia Hodges | 0 comments
Oh how we homeschool moms pour over curriculum. We make plans, pick up new pencils at the store. Mark dates on the calendar. But what about the basics? Those simple, necessary things we have to do every day as mothers? How about the basic routines and habits we’d like for our children to build – like brushing teeth and...
Getting Started
Posted by LaToya | 0 comments
When I decided to homeschool I also started the task of sorting through the different options for curriculum. In the beginning, I only knew that I wanted something Bible based. I foolishly thought that requirement would narrow down the options. I quickly learned that it would be that easy. At two, my son knew all of his...
Coaching the Writing Process
Posted by HeatherW | 0 comments
I think it’s fair to say we all want our kids to be good writers. Some children are natural writers and some are not. They will do anything to get out of writing even one sentence. Have you ever given much thought as to why we want our kids to write well? Is it because our jobs will be easier as homeschooling parents? Is it...
Summer School for Mom
Posted by Melissa | 0 comments
It’s not hard for me to look at my bookshelves and see what curriculum just did NOT work for us this year. There’s always something that just wasn’t a good match. I expect it, actually. I’m happy we have so many things that do work well, but for various reasons, there will always be some program that I had high hopes...
How to Study Nature
Posted by Cindy West | 0 comments
Last month, I wrote about the importance of including nature study in your homeschool. This month I’d like to take a brief look at various ways to implement nature study. Some people might try to tell you that “real” nature study should look a certain way, but just like we all choose curriculum based on learning...
When Teaching Meets Resistance
Posted by Melissa | 0 comments
I’m no pushover. Anyone who knows me can confirm this. And although my kids whine and complain, it doesn’t sway me to excuse them from hard work. Whether it’s chores or math, there’s no getting out of your work at my house. As steady of a taskmaster as I think I am though, I learned something about myself this year...
Knowledge Without Wisdom

What is the goal of homeschooling? The love of learning? Kids who achieve great academics and go on to big colleges? Instilling Biblical principles along the way? Along the way? NO! It must be more than that. Our end result should always be in anything, and in homeschooling, to keep our eye on the prize-Jesus. “I...
Homeschooling a Toddler
Posted by LaToya | 0 comments
I recently mentioned to someone that I was planning to homeschool my soon to be 5 year old son. One of the first questions that she asked was what I was going to do with my 2 year old son. I just smiled and told her “I’m homeschooling him as well!” She looked at me a little confused and said something to the effect...
