Teaching Manners: The Importance of Eye Contact

Teaching Manners: The Importance of Eye Contact

Welcome to lesson Number 1 in 10 Simple Manners to Teach Your Children. (This may contain affiliate links.) In the “every child was perfect” generation (ha ha–just a little joke), children were taught to make respectful eye contact. Not the “I can do what I want” eye contact, also known as insolence. Not the “I’m looking …

Ten Simple Manners to Teach Your Children

Ten Simple Manners to Teach Your Children

There were eight pieces of fudge on the little plate at the end of the refreshment buffet on Sunday after the morning service at the church we visited. There were 110 people in attendance. If I had made that fudge, I would have eaten all eight pieces myself rather than subject 102 people to fudgeless …

Homeschool Diploma — A Personalized Diploma Experience {Review}

We’ve been homeschooling for so long that I’ve noticed an odd pattern emerging from people who ask us questions about our education lifestyle.

A Few Easter “Necessities” for a Simple Celebration

A Few Easter “Necessities” for a Simple Celebration

In case you’re wracking your brain trying to remember how on earth to boil eggs, what on earth to do with those eggs, and what in tarnation (wherever that is) to serve on Easter, I’ve got a few reminders from years past. The Jelly Bean Gospel: You can buy this, but why not make it with …

St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast Recipe: Shamrock Eggs

St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast Recipe: Shamrock Eggs

Did you know that the British-born St. Patrick was kidnapped and enslaved by the Irish?  Eventually he escaped.  In later years he became a missionary, and whom did he serve?  The Irish, his former enslavers. Pause for effect. In honor of St. Patrick’s selfless love, here is a recipe for shamrock eggs.  I don’t see …
