Nurturing a Passion for Medical Careers
Posted by Jimmie | 0 comments
Does your family have a budding nurse, a therapist in waiting, or a wanna be surgeon? We all know that children have a different answer almost every month to the “what do you want to be when you grow up” question. But if that passion for medicine seems to be long lasting, you may want to encourage it. Besides providing a...
Every Mom Needs Some “Me” Time
Posted by Guest | 0 comments
Have you ever read an article on this topic? Maybe heard a speaker? I have on both counts. Unfortunately, most of the time when this subject matter is discussed, I come away with a bad taste in my mouth. It is not that I don’t think that every mother has individual needs, of course they do. No, it is more the way...
The Autism Spectrum
Posted by Angela | 0 comments
Wondering if your child might be on the spectrum? The first thing people ask me when I tell them my son has Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of Autism, is how did I know that Xander had a problem? To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t sure he did. He seemed like a perfectly normal, albeit quirky, child. Sure, he was super hyper,...
Learning to say “No”
Posted by Nikowa Lee | 0 comments
Growing up as an only child, the pressure was always on me to answer “yes” to everything. After all, there was no one else to split the responsibilities or chores with. It was all me – all of the time. After years of saying “yes”, I’m now finding it hard to say “no”. Women by...

Ever had one of those weeks that everything goes wrong? Um, of course you have. I started out this week intending to write a happy column about joy, the next Fruit of the Spirit in the list. I tried, really I did. I tried to tell you about how my son Xander has started reading. I was going to add that I beamed with pride. And I...

Reality Check
Posted by Bethany | 0 comments
It’s just about time for the new school year to start (for those following a more traditional school year). In fact, exactly one week from today (the day you’re reading this) is our first day of tenth grade and sixth grade. High school and middle school! Yikes! Where did the time go? When I was younger, say twenty years...
Be Content

“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Philippians 4:11). I love the flexibility of homeschooling. This month I experienced an unavoidable spinal headache “sickness” caused from a lumbar puncture gone wrong. This unplanned event has caused our schedule...
Starting Somewhere: Homesteading with Suzanne
Posted by Suzanne | 0 comments
Confessions of a Beginning Homesteader Although my daddy grew a garden every year and my mama canned at the end of each summer I was a mall-goin’, car cruisin’ kind of girl. When I got married all I brought to the table was my ability to make macaroni without having to look at the directions on the side of the...
