My kids are growing up in a different world than I did. The advances in technology just in my lifetime are staggering. (and I’m not that old!) There’s actually a term for members of this computer generation. They’re called Digital Natives. My oldest son has loved all things computer since he started playing with his…
List Progress
I’m sure everyone is on the edge of their seats wondering how much I’ve done on my list in one week. No? Well, that’s what I’m blogging about today. Switch the kids’ winter clothes for spring clothes. Clean out kids’ closets. Do a thorough dusting of the kids’ rooms. Change upstairs filter. Do a thorough…
Code of Justice by Liz Johnson
I’m participating in the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge again this year, but I have done a terrible job of posting updates. (That means I haven’t posted any.) It’s not because I haven’t been reading, but my personal blogging time has definitely been affected by Baby Boy. And I am a bit behind on…
Contentment
It’s amazing what a difference a few days can make. I worked hard this weekend getting caught up on grading and school planning. I made sure I was ready to face Monday morning before… Monday morning! And I felt so much better today. School went well. Then I started on my spring cleaning list. We…
My List
I’ve been busy. It’s tough coming back from a long trip. I’ve had to catch up on things at HSB. I’ve had to catch up on laundry. This week I also had to finish preparing the Kids 4 Truth cards for our children’s ministry and prepare clothes for a consignment sale. School was just “do…

How can I teach my child to read? I think that is one of the biggest concerns of parents planning to homeschool their young children. We’ve been led to believe that it is really difficult and that it is very important that you chose the right method or you might ruin your child’s entire future!…

Pirose Nursing Cover
If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you know we have a new member of our family. He’ll be 2 months old tomorrow! It’s been an adjustment, as new babies always are, but the blessings far outweigh the trials. In the past, I’ve mainly reviewed homeschool products and Christian books. But with this new…
Homeschool Mother’s Journal
In my life this week… I had some emotional ups and downs. I think that I’ve got some definite post-partum hormonal adjustments going on. In our homeschool this week… I got the results of my middle son’s Woodcock-Johnson test. That was definitely one of the downs. I haven’t pulled out last year’s test to compare…
