Seeds for the Sower

Little Man and I had a fantastic time with some dear friends New Year’s Eve! We exchanged “white elephant” gifts and had some good laughs at the strange and unexpected items extracted from beautifully wrapped packages. I received a box of wildflower seeds! That might not seem too odd unless you know me well. ...

Always the Same

Though we’ve been homeschooling for seven years now, I occasionally think back to the time our oldest was in a private school. I feel like those were lost years, ones I can never regain, time that I can never reclaim with my child. Though we are close now, it was difficult to know him during his first grade year, as he was...

Feeling Overwhelmed?

“May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help from the sanctuary, And strengthen you out of Zion; May He remember all your offerings, And accept your burnt sacrifice. May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, And fulfill all your purpose. We...

Oh! Brother

“I can do it without your help!” I heard Ryan’s angry voice in the kitchen. “Fine!” Stomping echoed down the hall before Katie’s bedroom door banged shut. I’d like to tell you that my teens never argue or lose their tempers. But, I would be showing you only the sanitized version of our home. You would also...

Is homeschooling high school an overwhelming task? Instead of looking at the big picture, sometimes it helps to focus on smaller, simpler tasks to achieve your goals. If you just look at the end result, “High School Transcript” or “College Admission,” you may become overwhelmed. Consider the story in the Bible about...

“My son, do not lose sight of these— keep sound wisdom and discretion, and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck. Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.” Proverbs 3:21-23....

Thankfulness Project

After a very rough year I vented on my blog and I received a few comments telling me I had it good. Truly, I knew I had it good, I just wanted a few minutes to let it out and instead I was bombarded with well-meaning comments letting me know exactly how off base I was. Yikes! And a good morning to you too! I was extremely...

Boys to Men

The ultrasound showed that number 3 was a boy! We were excited and honestly, I was a bit nervous. I’d never had any brothers and with 2 girls under my belt, I wasn’t sure “how” to do a boy. Hayden has been a breeze for the most part, but this January he turned TEN. He had a few buddies over for his...

Beyond Blah

It’s that time of year again. You know, the one that follows the most wonderful time of the year. It’s the mid-winter blah time of the year. No matter how much you and your kids love snow, you’re bound to get tired of it at some point during the cold, dark, shorter winter days. Can you tell I’m a warm, sunshine kinda...

The debate about Christmas and how it should properly be celebrated has been going on for centuries, and probably will continue until He comes the second time. In my house, well, we love it all. Lisa Whelchel’s book, The ADVENTure of Christmas, is a favorite here in December, listing just about every Christmas trapping...
