It feels as if so much has gone on in the past few weeks until it’s difficult to get my head around it, much less articulate all of it on paper. Somewhere in the last month, 1) My husband changed jobs 2) My job changed, forcing me out of my comfort zone and into new […]
Road Trip: Blue Bell Creameries
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Psalm 127:3, English Standard Version
Why We Chose Charlotte Mason
‘Every now and then I’ll hear parents speak of how they are reading books to their children, almost as punishment. “They’re on a restriction from television, and so we’re reading books to them.” Though I know the intent is good, I find myself cringing at the thought—when did reading a book become something you do […]
Customer Question: What to Expect from Narrations
I absolutely love my customers. There are a number of items that I need to complete, inclusive of much prayer, in order to grow the business into all that it could be. I often find myself repenting for disobedience when God speaks through one of my customers, and I procrastinate in doing what He says […]

A Day in our Lives
I’ve been trying to pen a “Weekly Homeschool Wrap-up” for a couple of weeks now, but my mind hasn’t been able to compartmentalize enough to make the various sections sound like something other than garble. I think some part of the problem is that everyone except me had some variation of a cold on […]
Learning about Learning Styles
I can always count on Kysha for inspiration. After hearing Sally Clarkson speak at the HOTM Conference, and then reading her post on learning styles, I went back to one of my homeschool favorites, Educating the Whole Hearted Child, to re-read and see what I might learn. When I was first introduced to learning styles […]
Big Brother and Little Sister
But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May […]
The Ball Game
Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Proverbs 17:6
Not-Back-to-School Blog Hop, Week 3: Class pictures
As I mentioned previously, our son has been a “beast” with science experiments, so every class picture would look like this. He’s loving it, thankfully. The oldest doesn’t like to be photographed, thinking that someone might see her in her robe, or note that her hair has a string out of place. I, however, […]

Doing Things, But What?
‘ “I think I like that man,” Janus observed. “Never had much to do with high-minded teachers since I was a kid, but he means business. I thought teachers just talked, but he doesn’t fool around with the words. He goes and does things.‘ (emphasis mine) Meindert Dejong, The Wheel on the School, pg. 162 […]
