Reason # 128 to Homeschool

Renae at Life Nurturing Education inspired me this week with her post Reason #127 to Homeschool. Renae loves discovering wonderful books with her children. That sure ranks high on my list of “Reasons I love to homeschool!” Here’s another reason why I like homeschooling… We can do it at the kitchen table…. In a cozy […]

Excellence in Blogcasting

I don’t often participate in award nominations, as I don’t have time to read many blogs! But this one was an honor to receive, and one which I gladly pass on. Debbie at Debbie’s Digest gave me this Excellence in Blogcasting award for my recent Home Library Builders series (watch for the next installment forthcoming […]

Whatever is Lovely: Art Appreciation

  One of the very first books I ever read as a new homeschooler was the Charlotte Mason Companion by Karen Andreola. Although I am now following the Classical Method instead of Charlotte Mason, I will be forever grateful that I began my homeschooling journey with this wonderful book, as it had a profound impact […]

Another hard day

Our six year old is slowly recovering, but now our three year old is sick. We are praying it is not the same virus or the same virulence. I have different readers on my different blogs but don’t have time to post multiple updates on both. Please read Jars of Clay for a glimpse at […]

Surviving the Season

I haven’t been posting much on either of my blogs, as our family has been sick for over 2 weeks. Some nasty stuff has made its way from one person to the next and now has come back around again. We would covet your prayers for our six year old son who is in the […]

More Black Friday Weekend Sales for Educators
