How We Do it with Four

If you had told me ten years ago when my first son was born that in 2010 I’d be homeschooling anyone- let alone a fifth grader, second grader, and two preschoolers- I would have chuckled and shaken my head. Now, here I am, homeschooling my kiddos and loving almost every minute of it. It’s taken me a few years to feel...

Scheduling Your Homeschool Day

Posted by Guest | 0 comments

Is there one best way to schedule and plan out your homeschool day? I don’t think so, but I do believe we should have some kind of direction, plan and or schedule laid out for the days activities. “He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan carries a thread that will guide him through...

My First Christmas Tree

Posted by LisaV | 0 comments

I’ll never forget my first Christmas tree, not as a child, but as an expectant mom at the age of 26. Christmas trees did not grace our home when I was growing up. It simply wasn’t something we did. My brother and I received Christmas gifts and hung stockings on our wall shelves, since we had no fireplace, but we did not...

For those who follow the traditional school year calendar, a couple of months worth of schooling has been completed and the routine is settled. It’s easy to get into the ho-humness of it all, especially if you been homeschooling for many years. And then suddenly, it happens! A spark of joy! And I’m not talking...

Ohhh, I just love this time of the year! God’s creation just BURSTS with vibrant colorful glory everywhere we look in the woods around us! The sunny days hold a warmness that still pulls us outside when we should be inside. However, the very cool mornings and evenings remind us that it is a short season of slipping...

His Unique Shadow

When my children were younger the church we were attending put on a yearly play. As the summer moved into fall, one of the first things on their minds was the upcoming performance. What play would they do? What part would they have? Excitement filled the air as each anticipated their performance. It all started with a meeting...

Striking a Balance

Posted by admin | 0 comments

Balancing my many roles of Wife, Mom, Teacher, Maid, Cook, Friend, Daughter, Sister and Writer is something that I struggle with daily. From the emails I receive, I know that I am not the only one with this dilemma. It seems to be one of the things all women have in common – the quest to find balance in life and hush the...

A Lesson From the Great Teacher

Posted by Andrea | 0 comments

I am walking in circles around the dining room but I am oblivious to the fact that I am doing it much less why. So I stop and begin to walk down the hall. It is like slow motion. I can hear Darin calling Gabriela and I can here Gabriela crying. I’m walking down the hall and I am thinking, “what has happened now, why...
