Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
I will be the first to admit. I am normally a bit unorganized. I have suffered from Attention Deficit Disorder since I was child. This can make it difficult to remain focused as a homeschooling parent; but a homeschool environment is still achievable. Luckily, my children are only preschool and kindergarten age, so it gives…
Football is definitely viewed as one of the more aggressive, high contact sports. Youth coaches and leagues are dealing with young children and often times their first exposure to the game. We know first hand as our son has completed 3 years on a flag football team, and is experiencing his first season at…
I am in the midst of my annual fight with myself. The first opponent, is the committed homeschooling mother, who is absolutely passionate and sure that this the right thing for her first grader and K4 kiddo. This mom is dedicated and confident. She is confident in her passion, if not her abilities. She is…

When I was asked if I would like to write a guest post, I had no clue what to write about. I thought for weeks, but the day before my post came due, I woke up with the impression to write about lettering. I used the word “challenged” because I don’t think that this just…
Do you ever watch those hero movies? You know the ones that have the good vs. evil plot? The good guy wins by great willpower and strength and super powers! I love those movies. They make me feel like I can fly if I try hard enough. So then I set off to buy the…
As homeschoolers physical education can be a school requirement that seems illusive, and maybe even hard to fulfill. I bet, like many, your kids/family get in more physical education than you think, without even knowing it! As my family and I sat around the dinner table we started brain storming. We listed all the activities…
I had been praying about what I wanted to share with you all and God showed me while I was hanging clothes out on the line the other morning. You see, my normal morning routine includes throwing a load of laundry in the washer and letting it run while I have my “coffee with the…
Never in a million years did I ever expect to be a homeschooling parent. My mother was an elementary school teacher until the time of my adoption, and then stayed home with my brothers and me. I attended a private school for two years, and completed my elementary and secondary education at public school. I…
by Tricia Goyer When I first started homeschooling my three kids (ages 6, 3, and 1) in 1995, I thought my life from that moment would always be about homeschooling. I pictured all of my time (or at least most of it) shaping my children’s education. I scheduled my day in 15-minute increments and did…
