I am so late in posting this, but I’ve been admittedly preoccupied with starting school tomorrow. I’d been so busy detailing every ounce of the now high schooler’s curriculum and plans until I had an eye-opening experience today sitting with my son. As we began to talk through his planner and plans/ goals for this […]

What My Children Teach Me
Recently, a follower of mine “tweeted” (twittered? Twitted?) a link to a homeschool conference video. The particular topic of the video was, “What did Your Kids Teach You this Past Homeschool Year?” As humbling a thought as this is for many of us who pour hours (not to mention dollars!) into curriculum and who […]
Fun and Inspiration–a collection of posts
I’ve been busy enough that I’m not posting some items in a timely manner. I was ministered to this morning as I spoke to a group of wonderful ladies at the Heart of the Matter’s Parenting and Home Education Conference. God’s Word is so powerful, and I am so honored to feel it flow […]

Pardon My Dust, But…
As I tweeted (twittered? twitted?) on yesterday, I’ve known for a while that I needed to make substantial changes to my blog, but I hesitated for a number of reasons. Not the least of the reasons was how to recreate a blog, move all the work of the past three years and build a […]
Shots from our Vacation Bible School 2009
Our kids said that this year at VBS was the best ever! The theme was “Crocodile Dock,” but as Louisiana is a close neighbor, we had a Cajun twist (even though Louisiana is more notorious for alligators). I thought the efforts to transform our family life center into a real, live Louisiana swamp were tremendous […]
Weekly Homeschool Wrap-up–July 19, 2009
Konnichiwa! This is the word that the six-year-old read by herself this morning on the way to church! She began sounding it out phonetically, but then recognized it from a favorite children’s show. What a way to begin a day! If you want to participate in this meme, […]
Happy Birthday to our Princess!
Our youngest princess, Savannah, will be six on Friday. In keeping with my other two birthday tributes to the older kids, I will try to limit my list (HA HA) to six reasons why this sweetie and I will be lifelong friends. 1. She is FULL of energy. 2. She is […]

The link is to an article that describes the new proposals to the State Board of Education for social studies curriculum in grades 1-7. No biographies of Washington, Lincoln. Take out Stephen F. Austin, Thurgood Marshall, and Cesar Chavez. Debates over the role of Christianity in the nation’s founding. Lord, please save us from the […]
