Even though I’m in the middle of describing our days of doing school at home, not all of our days fit the cookie cutter model. I have realized that one of the reasons home school is difficult for me is that I am such a Type A personality. I print out our assignment sheets every…
Our next subject is history. This is probably the favorite of everyone in the family. We are starting with the middle ages this year, which means we get a daily dose of knights, castles and vikings, and spend lots of time thinking about Iceland, Greenland, Norway and England. We read from three different history books,…
I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. I’m going to write a few posts that detail what our daily life is like here in the home that we also call a school. This will probably include more details than most people will care to read. But then again, there might be a…

When my husband and I were newly married more than a decade ago, we started attending a church that was about 20 minutes away from our house. We went to a meeting of people who wanted to attend small groups. They broke us into groups based on where we lived. All the central people should…
I need to interrupt this regularly-scheduled programming to let you know that tonight I was voted Mother of the Year. Well, that’s Mother of the Year of CRAZYTown where psycho moms endanger the lives of their children because they refuse to accept the reality of simple truths, such as the fact that the sun does…
