Mother/Son Outing: A Homeschool Success Story

October 27, 2010

As homeschoolers, we can help each other by sharing successful ideas or events. Our group’s mother/son outing is a favorite. This marked our third consecutive year to stay overnight at a mountain 4H camp, and our first without rain. On Friday night we gathered around a campfire, toasting marshmallows and building s’mores. The moms remained, [...]

Encouraging Your Child’s Creativity: A Writing Exercise

February 15, 2010

During our Valentine’s date last night, my 10-year-old daughter called to tell me that she was bored and had nothing to do. My mother hated to hear us say we were bored — a sure sign of a lack of imagination — and I share the sentiment. My husband told her to write a story, [...]

iHeartFaces Week 3 (2nd year): We Are Family

January 18, 2010

This week’s themes at iHeartFaces is “We Are Family” and the guest judge is Audrey Woulard. It is really difficult for us to get a family photo. Our oldest is away at college, and there’s no one to take a picture when he’s here. This one was (obviously) very impromptu. I realized I had everyone [...]
