The Great Homeschool Experiment: Nearing the End

If you happen to be friends with me on Facebook or know me in real life, you’d know that my husband just accepted a job as principal at Sussex Christian School. We are so thrilled! I couldn’t be more proud of him and for how the Lord is growing him into this godly leader. This […]

The Great Homeschool Experiment: The Halfway Point

Well, day 90 of school is coming up soon. Almost halfway done! And the Great Homeschool Experiment has been going well in many areas! When I started, I did kindergarten with both girls. My oldest is five, my youngest is four. But back in August they were on so many of the same levels that […]

Little People Know

Sometimes I fear we underestimate how smart kids are. But kids remember so many odd little facts! Even the most seemingly inattentive kids recall more than you’d ever expect. I was listening to my Bible one morning while I made breakfast. I like to have my personal devotions alone in my bedroom and use that […]

Training for a Marathon

Oh I have thoughts to ramble through… I’ve talked about how our girls sit in church with us before. It started as a necessity. With Covid regulations putting a halt to children’s church, there was no way to send our duo of wild ladies downstairs while we soaked in a sermon. This left us no […]

Chronic Mom Fatigue

Hey tired Mom… It’s me. A fellow tired mom. A super tired mom, fighting a migraine all night and waking up to kids who seem to know I got no sleep at all and are on their worst behaviour. I’d ask, “How are you?” But I know the answer. Oh plugging along! You know how […]

Heart of the Homemaker

“How does a homemaker care for her heart, so that she can maintain her home with a life-giving rhythm?” So read the writing prompt from The Homemaker’s Club Instagram page I enjoy. I immediately thought of a Bible verse I had drilled into me as a kid in the Kingdom Seekers girls’ group. “How can […]

Wild Girl

I think my youngest has ADHD. Not in a “wow she’s so hyper, something must be wrong with her!” way. But in a real “I’ve researched this disorder and you have all the markers” way. Her doctor was hesitant to diagnose her before four, but now that we’re here… The evidence is currently running back […]

One of These Things is Not Like the Other (The Great Homeschool Experiment: Week 6)

Week 6 was an excellent week of school! It started as average, but I was privileged enough to watch the girls blossom and pull off an extremely successful week. I am very proud of where they are and how they’re growing. One of my favourite things about my kids is just how different they are. […]

“I don’t want to be good.” (The Great Homeschool Experiment: Weeks 4 & 5)

If you’ve been watching closely, you’ll notice that there was no The Great Homeschool Experiment: Week 4 post. That’s because we only had a half week of school last week. My sister got married and we had an absolute blast getting her ready, getting her married, and then enjoying some family time post wedding. That’s […]

Little Red Riding Hood and Other Precocious Daughters

I have a very precocious daughter. I love her deeply. She is like a little mirror and sometimes that mirror shows good things. Other times it reminds me of the utter torment I put my mother through as a precocious daughter once upon a time. She is smart, sharp as a whip and often times […]
