I have a confession to make. I had no intention of homeschooling. After public high school with our oldest two, I was convinced that we would never go the government-provided-schooling route again, so we enrolled our younger two in a top-notch private Christian school. Somewhere in the first year, God laid homeschooling heavily on my [...]
(stock image photo credit) In the daily shuffle of a homeschool mom’s life – math, reading, discipline, chores, errands, and more – it’s easy to take our marriages for granted.

After homeschooling for 16 years, I still find myself planning to do things differently next school year than I’ve done in previous years. Even after all these years (and all these years of change), I still find myself [...]
I had my first real homeschool convention experience in early April when I attended the Great Homeschool Convention (GHC) in Cincinnati. I’d considered going to a convention before – to GHC, Teach Them Diligently, or any one of several mid-sized regional events – and I did help at a vendor booth for a very small [...]
Our 6 year old daughter is wildly creative and has a huge imagination. She is always making little creations from craft supplies, designing her own little books, staging videos on her camera and more. In her mind, there will never be enough costumes in our house to satisfy all the things she wants to act [...]
