Come see me at the Texas Great Homeschool Convention, March 15-17 2018 in Ft. Worth, Texas! I’m pretty sure it totally counts as homeschooling since everything there will have the word “homeschool” or its various forms included in, printed on, or overwhelmingly implied within three entire days of inspiring home education overload.
All is not lost. In fact, this is our season! …We are always willing to forge ahead, find a way, clear a new path, and especially in the comforts of an amazing new fleece hoodie night gown!
The most memorable moments from our homeschooling have usually included cooking or eating. Yummy or not (one time we ate a fried bug, not so yummy) eating brings in more of the senses and increases the ability to learn. When I asked my boys what they wanted to learn...
When I explained to my boys how Mr. Sharp relates only playing by ear and refusing to read music to reinventing the wheel and then not being able to communicate with anyone about it, it struck a chord with them….

Of course girls love tea parties! But have you ever been to the boys’ table? Some of the many benefits of inviting the man cubs to the lace covered table go largely unnoticed, and are as follows…
We survived our first semester without any noticeable spiritual judgment or confrontation. I was worried we’d be “Christian-timidated,” which is a word that I just made up and here means– made to feel less than biblically adequate to hang with the click. Of course, we proclaim we are Christians in this house, but we are not up on the lingo. Does that make sense?
…writer & speaker of homeschool truth, humor and inspiration. Laugh along as I keep things ‘real’ about life as homeschool family. Turns out…you don’t have to raise goats or wear denim jumpers after all!
