I do not have a planned out, hour-by-hour schedule, but we have a schedule established in our home. Get up, eat, see Daddy off to work, morning chores, then independent book work. After independent book work, there is a bit of a break, kid showers (after arguments), lunch, then group time work before they all …
I just spent this weekend mostly in bed. Sick. No cold or flu, but a migraine. I have had headaches before, but this took me out of commission for two days. I hate not being able to get done all the things I have to do.
Ever since the invention of the television, parents have been having trouble keeping their kids active. It seems all they want to do is stare at a screen.

You’re expected to go from couch potato to workout queen or slob to prince charming overnight. It …
Our homeschool will begin a two week break. (Oh the excitement!) I’m using the next two weeks to relax and plan for the next 90 days. I have a daily schedule in place, but I like to plan curriculum, field trips, etc.
While most of my articles are full of encouragement and suggestions, this one will be different. I am a Mama who is reflecting on how her babies are growing up. My twins are 12 years old and while they act like they still believe in good ol’ St. Nick, the past year or so they …
It’s almost the end of the year, and you know what? You’ve done great! You have planned your best day and experienced your worse. You have given your all and some days just given up. You have fought a good fight, and you have survived! Remember as we end this year to… Reflect, Release, Relax.
