Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
It’s that time of year when things really begin to ramp up. Christmas is around the corner, and before we know it, the Christmas rush will be upon us (if it isn’t already!). Too often, it’s a time when the pressure of getting stuff done takes priority over relationships. So this year, why not concentrate…
Dr. Seuss is one the most beloved names in all literature, for adults and children alike! We love him for his fun rhymes, whimsical creatures, and the way that his stories share big ideas in simple ways. For all of these reasons (and so many more), we continue to celebrate this special author on the…
It’s October, which means we can officially get excited about fall! I love the cooler weather, the beautiful leaves, and the traditions of autumn!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I LOVE everything about this time of year. Just listening to the music makes me feel a unique sense of joy that only December brings. I have to admit though, as a working homeschool mom, the thought of all of the festivities this month makes me cringe just a…
It’s sometimes hard to celebrate the holiday season. We live far from family. Most of the year we can keep our homesickness easily at bay, but around the holidays the homesickness is at its worst. Since my husband is in the Air Force, we’ve never lived near family, and it’s been difficult for our large family to…

I love Christmas time! LOVE IT! The lights, decorations, smells, happy faces, shows, and music make it so special. However, traditions can get a bit out of hand in my house.
