When Togetherness Loses its Allure
Many of us here at Writer…Interrupted are homeschooling our children. Homeschooling is a wonderful way to connect on a daily (more like hourly) basis with each other, but it’s easy to lose something special in the process. If my children were away from home for their school day, what fun I’d have getting ready to…

The Hike
My son, Nathan, was commenting the other day about his two hamsters. “Mom, they have totally unique personalities. One is calm and likes to be held, the other is wild and always on the go. ” “Just like kids,” I responded. “No two are exactly the same.” Or should I say no “three,” because I…

I got this in an email the other day. Maybe I’ll try this out when it’s time to have the “talk” with my kids. Of course, I believe in abstinence before marriage, but I just couldn’t resist this clever take on the “birds and the bees.” A Little boy goes to his father and asks…
A Way to a Boy’s Heart…
Timmy, my six-year-old, just got back from his first ever “friend’s” sleepover.Earlier I talked to my friend to get the scoop on how he was doing. She said she asked Timmy if he wanted to go home. Timmy said, “No, I’m having the time of my life!” After I gave him a big “miss you”…
Gracie’s High School Miracle!
Tonight at dinner we were going over our extra curricular budget. I was using the time as an impromtu math lesson with my older boys. As we calculated the money,I asked the boys, “so what is it?” (referring to the answer to the math problem.) In the most serious tone, Gracie, my 4 year old,…
