Five Things That Make School Run Smoothly

Five Things That Make School Run Smoothly People often ask me HOW we manage things around our house. So this month I have five things to share with you that have worked well in our large family homeschooling situation. Hopefully, they will be beneficial to you.

Review: The Organized Home Schooler

Posted by Sprittibee | 0 comments

1 Corinthians 14:33 … “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace” …What I need is some order in my life! I rely heavily on lists and calendars (my friends often mistake this for being organized and comment to me as such – but if only they knew how much I need them!). I mean, what good is a list...

Finding Enough Time

Finding Enough Time Do you ever feel like you do not have enough time in your day? Does your clock seem to move in fast motion and the hours slip away? I am often asked how I manage with such a large family. How do I find the time to do all that needs to be done? After all there are only 24 hours in a day! “By the grace...

Balance Defined

Posted by Dianne | 0 comments

Balance Defined I have to laugh that the Lord has me writing a column about balance. I am the least-qualified person I know to do this. Yet isn’t that just like God?

All too often as a homeschooling mom, I am rushing about trying to get school done. Likewise, it seems that some days my boys are not rushing about with their work, but trying to get school completely undone! I know y’all can relate– even you mommy’s of girls! I’m ashamed to admit it, but this is what is...

Scheduling Woes

Posted by Guest | 0 comments

With the New Year comes the revision of many things, in our home that includes the revision of our homeschool schedule. With our baby no longer needing an hour and a half morning nap we have been thrown for a loop around here. Is there one best way to schedule and or plan out your homeschool day? I don’t think so, but I do...

The Daily Balancing Act Now that the holidays are past, most of us are heading back to school. Are you organized and ready to roll? Or are you like me, sometimes feeling as if I have no idea where I left my brain? Actually, I’m pretty sure it’s in a box in my family room – at least that’s where I think I last saw it...
