Memorize the Christmas Story–Begin Now

Memorize the Christmas Story–Begin Now

November 9, 2018

Despite all the books and blogs and plans to keep Christ in Christmas, it makes the most sense to me to get back to the original story and engrave that in our children’s hearts. I was in fifth grade when I memorized the Christmas story, and I can still recite it today. My recitation ability …

The Lonely Path of Homeschooling Older Kids

The Lonely Path of Homeschooling Older Kids

While immersed in the world of homeschooling preschoolers and kindergarteners, it’s hard to imagine (because you have to go through it to accept it as reality) that kids really do grow up eventually. It’s true! At some point between when your kids stop taking daily naps and you start the habit, you become the homeschooler …

Parenting Tweens with Grace and Hope {Book Review}

Parenting Tweens with Grace and Hope {Book Review}

July 25, 2018

I just finished reading the newest book by a remarkable couple, Hal and Melanie Young of Great Waters Press. (If their names ring a bell, you likely know of them through their book Raising Real Men or from their speaking on the homeschool circuit.)

Arson, Counterfeit, Murder–Just Another Homeschool Day {Review}

Arson, Counterfeit, Murder–Just Another Homeschool Day {Review}

I love it when people ask my son what he’s been doing in school, and he says something like, “I’m doing detective work. Something’s Fishy at Lake Iwannafisha,” and they think maybe their kids missed something in their regular school…or they think we’re nuts. While both conclusions may or may not be true, Something’s Fishy at …

Instilling Independence in Homeschooled (or Any) Children

Instilling Independence in Homeschooled (or Any) Children

May 4, 2018

As homeschool parents, we carry our children’s education primarily, or in many cases entirely, in our own hands. That’s a school bus full of responsibility that most of us take very seriously. (Let’s not talk about the days when we toss it all and make chocolate chip cookies and call it dinner, math, and home …

Manners Matter: Teaching Please, Thank You, and Excuse Me

Manners Matter: Teaching Please, Thank You, and Excuse Me

April 26, 2018

Welcome to 10 Simple Manners to Teaching Your Children, Day 2! Saying please, thank you, and excuse me is perhaps the easiest manner to teach, but similarly the easiest to gradually neglect over time. So how do we instill it and keep it there? Let’s jump right in…please. The best way. The absolute best way …
