Today’s Teens Don’t Have to Be Social Misfits

March 12, 2012

I struggled with that title. Kind of harsh, isn’t it? True, though. Teens get a bad rap in today’s society, usually well deserved. We associate them with awful loud music, inappropriate clothing, bad manners, and no concept that they need to take responsibility or look to the future. If you harbor this preconceived notion, taking [...]

31 Days of Real Life: The Lasting Effect of Memory Work

October 20, 2011

Do you realize that those crazy rugrats running around your house have an amazing capacity for memorization? Don’t squander it! I wrote about it almost exactly 2 years ago, but the lesson was driven home to me again today by an example from my own childhood. I attended a live production of Macbeth at the [...]

31 Days of Real Life: Homeschool Attendance Reports (a giveaway for Georgia homeschoolers)

October 11, 2011

The monthly attendance reports that homeschoolers are required to submit in Georgia cramp my style. I’m thankful to live in a good state for homeschoolers, but it’s just plain easy to forget about those forms.

And it Begins: A New School Year

August 25, 2011

We started a new year of Classical Conversations classes on Tuesday and I’ll be perfectly honest: I wasn’t ready to let go of summer break. Last year was my first time tutoring Challenge II—the equivalent of 10th grade—and it monopolized my life and attention for the school year. I knew the first year would be [...]

What Inspires You?

March 23, 2011

I had the most awesome time last week working at the Quaver Music booth at the Southeast Homeschool Convention. Working for vendors at conferences for the past few years has meant no wandering through the vendor hall or listening to speakers. One of the most important things a homeschool mom can do is keep herself [...]

Surviving March: Dealing with Homeschool Burnout

March 6, 2011

One yearly event has remained consistent in our eighteen years as a homeschooling family: March burnout. It would be bad enough if it were only the kids, but it’s me, too.  A combination of factors—primarily exhaustion and spring fever—contribute to this phenomena. Although it’s difficult to conquer, here are a few ideas for making the [...]
