There is just something special about putting thoughts down in writing, especially if it's in a personalized journal.  I default to the computer often, but I still want a notebook with me when I’m taking a course or seminar, brainstorming and hashing out ideas, or writing a song or poem. There was a time when I carried a notebook with me everywhere … [Read more...]

5 Ways to Find Community as a Homeschool Mom

by admin Leave a Comment

Finding Community as a Homeschooler

Community..that dirty little word that leaves many of us longing for more.  We measure ourselves up to everyone around us, wondering where we can connect.  Who do we have something in common with? Where is someone that will sympathize with our problems and accept our faults?  Moms have so much on our plates that making friends can … [Read more...]

Yay for Young Whit: The Traitor’s Treasure

by admin Leave a Comment

Young Whit

If you are blessed with children who are avid readers, perhaps you understand my conundrum.  My oldest reads so fast that I can’t keep up with him. Knowing the loose lips (or pens) of some authors, it makes me cringe to set him free reading whatever he wants.  I don’t want to hold him back and make him read less either. So it’s refreshing when … [Read more...]

Teaching Math and Science Isn’t Rocket Science…It’s Ministry!

Teaching Math and Science Isn't Rocket Science...It's Ministry!

Math and science...you either love them or hate them.  Teaching them brings on a similar response.  I have heard many mothers lamenting over how bad their math lesson went. Science often gets neglected or we fall way behind where we want to be in our curriculum.  The struggles are real.  Take a deep breath and relax. Teaching math and science isn’t … [Read more...]

Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this season of uncertainty, it feels even more important. I keep asking God to change my heart if what I want is not what he has for me, but the pull just keeps getting stronger. I am certain of what I hope for. It’s a struggle to be just as certain that He will provide it. But He is faithful even when we are not. Thank goodness!  So we will praise Him in the storm...and wait. #faith #waitingplace #godisgood #hewillprovide
