That’s right. It happened. I’m old. 31 to be exact. And I feel every second of it. I can no longer say I’m 30, because now I am officially “in my 30s.” Another year gone by, and what a year it’s been! Since my last birthday, I’ve started homeschooling, had another baby, taken on numerous projects, and have blogged. A LOT. I have battled with weight-loss, postpartum depression, and even almost dying after giving birth to Parker. I have seen children saved by grace, worshiped the Lord with my

How I manage homeschooling with children across such a broad age range (10, 6, 4, 2 and 4 months) is probably the most common question I am asked. It is also one of the more difficult ones for me to answer. The hardest is “ How do you get it all done ?” Because I don’t. And really, the answer is the same regarding managing homeschooling different ages. I simply don’t

As I said before , if the teachers aren’t raping the children, they are finding ways to distribute pornography to them. Check out the video below featuring Crystal Defanti, a 5th grade teacher of Sacramento’s Isabelle Jackson Elementary school, writhing in pixelated pleasure on a DVD she gave to her students. The DVD was supposed to feature videos of class trips as some type of memoir, but there were 6 seconds of her on the couch having sex with someone she probably met on Match.Com since th

Larry likes to mix things up a bit with our family devotions, and we’re changing things up again! It’s a very exciting transition though, and very homeschooly - if there’s such a word! We’ve read through all of Genesis and Exodus over the past half-year, dug around in a story bible, drawn lots of pictures, and now we’re going to start again in the creation week with 106 Days of Creation Studies from Simply Charlotte Mason. I recently reviewed this title at Eclectic Homeschool Online here .

I have gotten tons of emails lately from people offering resources that will supposedly help my kids stay up to snuff academically while they navigate their summer vacation. I also know several parents that are consumed with using the summer months to “homeschool” so that their public… [[ This is a content summary only.

Today I visited a friend of mine & we chatted like teenagers about adoption, homeschooling & Twilight ! She’s loaning me her copy of New Moon & Eclipse . I can’t thank her enough! While we chatted away, the boys enjoyed swimming in the pool! Thanks so much for the fellowship Beth !

It’s hot here. Is that an understatement for relentless 100° afternoons and night time “lows” of 80°? When the afternoons are 100° - 105° that is not the time for kids to be out bike riding and roller blading and scootering. They’ll either have a heat stroke or just sit around on the porch. Both are ShareThis

Shelves and tables entice me to browse. I hunt for the RightStart Mathematics booth. The speaker’s enthusiasm and knowledge remind me why I chose the program. She recommends Geometry and then Algebra after Level E. Really? I’ll be teaching Algebra in another year?! Somehow I don’t panic at the thought. At Miller Pads and Paper I linger. Here I gather the only items I purchase at the Home School Book Fair : two sketchbooks, an eraser, and calligraphy practice paper.
