A Better End To The Homeschooling Year

As a homeschooling family, this is the time of year everyone starts talking about summer break. Warm sunny days are more frequent, flowers are in bloom, and outdoor activities hold more interest than school books. The day my kids changed our classroom calendar to May, I began scanning where we are in all of our […]

Homeschooling: Options Beyond The Classroom

My husband came home from work one evening a few months ago, and shared a conversation he had with a gentleman he’d encountered. The two had been discussing vacation ideas and destinations.

Homeschooling: Mom Is Unemployed

I have often wondered why our culture puts so much importance on an individuals employment choices. Being asked what you do for a living is one of the most common questions people face. When asked, I’m not always sure how to respond. The cultural view of motherhood, specifically the role of a stay at home […]

Homeschooling: On Socialization

When we first began our homeschooling journey, I heard the stories of trials from more seasoned moms. Either a stranger or family member questioning and challenging their decision to homeschool.

Our 2014-15 Curriculum

Over the last couple of weeks, I have had several homeschooling moms ask me about my curriculum for this year. Although I understand the school season is beginning, I admit my deeply intellectual response resembled, “Ummmm…..I dunno yet!” I’m not sure what happened this summer, but there must have been a rift in the space-time […]

Curriculum is all here!!! Yes, I’ve finally conceded that fall has arrived, and with it our curriculum purchases finalized. Little Bear is very excited to begin school this year.
