Learning Phonics Can Be Dangerous
I need to put a warning on this post because though hilariously funny, it has potential to be offensive. I’ll try to be as non-offensive as I can as I relate to you what had me rolling on the floor, and my husband giving me one of those head shakes with the hidden message of…
My Life is One BIG Mess
Do you ever feel like your life is a mess? You know, toys thrown all over the room, and clothes scattered across the bedroom floor. No matter how much I clean, throw away, give away, and sell, the mess just seems to multiply.Twice a year I gather up the kids old clothes and toys for…
Homeschool Already?
Our homeschool will not officially start for a couple of weeks ( keep saying that, don’t I). My first goal is to clean out the school room, which looks like this. Yes, that is my dinning room set used as a desk and bookcase. So to keep me motivated, I’m posting some links to various…
Tricia Goyer: My Writing Life
MY WRITING LIFE: My writing journey began in 1994 when I attended my first writer’s conference with my friend, Cindy Martinusen. Cindy and I went to the same church and we both had dreams of becoming writers. Everything at Mt. Hermon was new to me, but I just followed the instructor’s directions. It took two…

This brought tears to my eyes. I hope it touches your soul as well. It is one of the reasons we homeschool, but you don’t have to homeschool to get it’s message.
Just Go With the Flow…
I’m not an early riser. I covet a good night’s sleep, and I’ve been known to hit the snooze for an hour before feeling awake enough to get out of bed. So when I woke at 4:30 a.m. this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep, I wondered what was up? I often told God…
Difficult Decisions

Everything looks great on paper. The boys would attend four classes and lunch one day a week, but I don’t feel an overwhelming peace. Maybe it’s because…
Ramblings with Ronie Kendig: Writer, Homeschooler, Student, etc…
Ronie, thanks so much for agreeing to share your life and struggles with me. I was drawn to you because we seem to be in a similar life stage and are playing the waiting game with publication. It is my desire to learn from your experiences and I hope those who read this interview will…
Feelings of Frustration, Fatigue, Failure…
It’s been one of THOSE days again. They’re still more frequent then I care to admit. It’s days like these that I question my decision to homeschool. Wouldn’t I be a better mom if I sent my kids off to school, had a consistent prayer time, went to the gym, did the laundry and planned…
