Whatever your educational background, I think most people would agree that one of the best parts of high school were the electives. That’s probably because teenagers want a bit of freedom and a voice in their educations and electives allow them to follow their interests and get high school credit for it. I’ve shared 10 home…
In the early days of my life as a homeschooling mom, I used to daydream about having a 3-year-old reader. First, Josh passed the age of three, then, Megan. Then a few more birthdays passed. Instead of the voracious early readers this avid reader mom dreamed of, I was mom to a slightly dyslexic child…
Every year, a few friends and I escape for a weekend getaway. My wonderfully supportive husband always encourages me to go because he knows how refreshed and rejuvenated I am when I return home. We typically go in the fall, but this year we’ve got another trip planned in early spring. I’m not sure I…
One of the best things about homeschooling right now is also one of the most overwhelming – the abundance of homeschool curriculum and resources. To help narrow it down a bit, I thought a list of some of my favorite homeschooling resources in an alphabetical format might be in order. This post contains affiliate links….
Happy Friday, y’all! Has everyone had a fantastic week? I hope so! Ours has been good.We’ve been plugging away at school. Josh and Megan are getting really good at planning their own weeks in their student planners and taking ownership of their schedules. Josh still complains about having to schedule his own lessons – he…
Happy Friday, y’all! I hope you’ve had a good week. First of all, I have to tell you how extremely grateful I am that my oldest is safe. You may have heard about yesterday’s shooting in Chattanooga, TN that is being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism. You may have seen it on CNN….
Thank goodness it’s Friday! The kids have some quizzes to do today, then we can call the 2014-2015 school year complete. {throwing confetti} I am not going to lie – it was so hard to stay focused this week and get everything finished. We were all ready to be done. And, now we are! Summer…
Once upon a time, there was a woman who was slightly addicted to things like office products, brand-new boxes of crayons, pens, pencils, planners, and various and sundry other office and school supplies. Then, she gave birth to a daughter who carried the addictive gene. The daughter wasn’t quite a addicted as the mom, but,…
If you’ve been in a department store lately, you’ve probably noticed that the end caps are full of filing cabinets, banker’s boxes, and plastic storage bins, along with all the exercise equipment and workout DVD’s. That’s because “get organized” is in most people’s Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions, along with “lose weight” and “exercise more.”…
Happy New Year! I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday and enjoying your break from school. We’re enjoying ours and are a little bummed to know that its end is right around the corner. Still, it will be good to get back into a more normal routine. Do you do New Year’s resolutions? I used…

I know most of you, like me, are probably too busy with last-minute Christmas preparations to be spending much time online this week. So, I thought instead of sharing new stuff you may not have time to read, I’d share some of my favorite things from around the Internet lately. That way, you’ll be able…
When I was in 5th grade, we had a dress-up-as-what-you-want-to-be-someday day. I went as an artist, complete with a little red beret and oversized smock. Somebody really should have taken pictures. I never did become an artist, but I do still love to draw. Everyone has a creative side, though it manifests differently in each…
Happy Friday! I’m happy to report that this week has been much less eventful than last week – thank goodness! On top of that, it’s supposed to be a beautiful, sunny weekend and we’ve got nothing on the calendar. That makes me a very happy camper going into the weekend. Last Saturday, I called a…
Happy Friday, y’all! How’s your week been? Ours has been rainy and rather cold. We were in line for some severe weather on Tuesday, but, thankfully, it missed us. We saw the sun briefly on Wednesday and Thursday, but mostly it’s just been cloudy and yucky. I have determined, without a doubt, that I could…
