2016/11/11

Have you ever had one of these days… There are just some days you want to join the fussy crowd. You wake up and are feeling confident about the day. Then you walk past your child’s room and say, “Good morning!” The response you receive is less than enthusiastic and you think, maybe she will cheer up before breakfast. She just needs to wake up. Then you sit down to eat. She’s not in a bad mood. She’s not even upset or angry. She’s just rather blah. The other daughter wakes up in a good mood, snuggles

2016/11/04

Homeschooling is such a blessing for our family – I really believe it has created a family bond that we would not have had if we’d chosen another educational route for our daughter. But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t difficult! One of the biggest issues I’ve found is learning just how hard it is to keep up with all the housekeeping chores while we’re homeschooling. Over the years, we’ve discovered a few tips and tricks that help us keep up with those daily housekeeping chores. Read more or listen to

2016/10/28

Is this your first week of homeschooling for the year? It is for me. I always start our new homeschool year the week of my youngest child’s birthday because I really enjoy adding that kind of stress to the first week of school. Whether the stress in your homeschool week is normal life stuff, like birthdays or long to-do lists, or abnormal life stuff, like surprises and emergencies, the fact remains that homeschooling isn’t always easy. It just isn’t. This is because homeschooling is just like

2016/10/21

There's a common misconception by many non-homeschoolers that what homeschoolers do all day is stay tucked inside their houses reading classical literature and practicing for the National Spelling Bee. This misconception feeds into the whole socialization myth that continues to plague every homeschool mom who ever lived. Typically the reality is much, much different than the perception for most homeschoolers I know. So we were in good company about late September when I realized that I had filled

We recently had a pool party with a group of Emma’s homeschool co-op friends, and I’ve been told again that I’m a cool mom. I’m not a cool person. I’m kind of nerdy, actually. So how do I get this label? It’s not merely that I do these things (although they help): make a monster pan of homemade mac-n-cheese and two giant chocolate chip cookies for a pool party let the kids make a crazy fort in the sunroom with every available blanket, bean bag, and pillow take Emma and a friend to an Ed Sheeran

HS 023: We're Losing the Culture War by Pam Barnhill

2016/09/30

Don’t show up to a culture war without a culture. — Professor Carol Reynolds The world is after the hearts of your children. No, I am not saying that to leave you shaking in fear. Don’t be afraid, mama, because you’ve got chocolate and Jesus and a plan. There is no need to fear. Instead I just want you to ponder that statement a while. Make no mistake that there is a culture war going on. The world has a myriad of distractions to pull our kids’ attention from the ideas that have shaped our culture

Quitting homeschool, that is. And I thought I should tell you that. So often, we homeschoolers make this journey sound like its all roses, all the time. We have a tendency to talk up the benefits of homeschooling constantly. After all, there are many: improved academic opportunity, better socialization, increased family time, the ability to weave our values all throughout the curriculum…the list goes on (and on). We talk up homeschooling because we like to talk about it, but we also do it because we

HS 021: Home School Requires Commitment by Mary Prather

2016/09/16

What does homeschooling REALLY require? The current trend seems to be hybrid schools, box programs, online schools, or homeschool communities that claim to be the "answer" to a successful homeschool experience. Granted, all of these things can be great HELPS in homeschooling. I have, however, seen some claim to be all you would need to homeschool your children. I disagree. A successful homeschool lies within the homeschooling family. Never forget the HOME in homeschool. In this four part blog series

“Love is the beginning and end of education, because love is the way we become more human.” — Stratford Caldecott, Beauty in the Word I’ve heard the advice, and I’m sure you have too. You should always start your day with math. Kids need to tackle difficult subjects while their brain is fresh. Kids need to get the hardest thing out of the way first. Kids need to eat that frog so they don’t procrastinate. Poppycosh. I am all about personal productivity and doing hard things first to get them out of

I used to dread kindergarten pick-up. My little guy would board the bus at 7:50 am. He looked adorable climbing up those big steps with his oversized backpack and book in hand. The book was as oversized as his backpack. In kindergarten, he read big books: Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, The Hobbit. He didn’t notice that people noticed. I noticed that they noticed, but I was just so thankful he was content at send-off. Unfortunately, pick-up was another story. I’d get to the pick-up line at around

HS 017 10 Reasons to Add Morning Time to Your Homeschool

Do you ever have one of those mornings? The kind where nobody wants to get moving (including you). Nobody has a good attitude. Nobody can bear the thought of one more day of long division. It happens more than I care to admit around here. Which is why I have a secret weapon for starting school days. No, it’s not coffee (ok, it is just a little bit). Instead it is Morning Time. Morning Time is a time when everyone in the family can come together for a period of family learning. Most families include

Homeschooling has broken me, I think. I didn’t realize it until last week. That it has broken my brain. That it’s broken the way I think about everything. But I’ve never been more sure that I’m a homeschooler raising homeschoolers, and I’ve never felt stronger in my convictions. Like with so many things, I have Dave Grohl to thank. But let me take a step back … When my son was 6, he expressed an interest in learning piano. And like all parents, we immediately tried to figure out how to move a

It’s been quite the school year, there’s no question about that. We moved across the country, we hung out for five months with family, did school in their basement, house shopped on the weekend, then moved again to another state. There were many times this year that I questioned everything, but now, looking back, I realize that it’s all ok. Even in the craziest of school years, there’s been lessons learned. Kids will learn, no matter what. It’s like a train you can’t stop. We can’t stop–and we won’t

And you liked it, you really liked it, but the English teacher in you wants to ask, “Are you sure somebody didn’t help you with this?” Because it’s just that good. You talk to someone every single day — so much so that your husbands have their eye-rolling synchronized at your antics — and you just never really know what they are capable of do you?

When I was a kid my two favorite things to make where, drawings of the Rice Krispie characters and to create paper balls. When I say paper balls, I don’t mean that I just crumbled a piece of paper into a ball, that would be kind of lame, and not worth writing about. I mean that I soaked strips of paper in water, and carefully laid each piece over the last, forming a 3D paper ball. While I continued to enjoy art and creating, my confidence in my ability waned, as it does for most students starting at

HS 012: Memorization's Role in Our Home by Tara Vos

2016/07/15

The role of recitation and memorization has taken on a deeply personal role for me as a homeschool mom over the last several years. I first began to consider recitation while studying various homeschool methods as a new homeschool mom. I could see the value of memorization in education, but it didn’t feel like a good fit for my son. His memory was terrible. My daughter on the other hand remembered everything she heard or saw. I figured that memory was something you were either good at or you were

These moms have their own ideas of what works and what doesn’t, and they are all exactly right for their families.

I love the Myers-Briggs personality typing. Myers-Briggs – the personality system that gives you four letters – offers a vocabulary for talking about the different ways that people relate to each other and the world around them. It’s been so helpful to me in learning how to understand and value other people’s responses to ideas and situations – including my children’s. I’ve written before about how personality typing helps me understand my kids, and I’ve written a brief explanation of how the

I love finding ways to simplify homeschooling, and this method really takes the cake. I’ll tell you all about it, and then you have every right to say, “Of course, Sarah.
