Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
A few weeks ago, our 8-year-old cat died. My youngest child, age 11, doesn’t remember life without Tabby. (She was named after the cat in the Mr. Putter and Tabby books.) It was hard for all of us, though, because we all loved her. A few weeks ago, Tabby began to feel bad and just…
Constance, who usually posts one of her delicious dinner recipes on Thursdays, is swamped this week, so I’m filling in for her today. 🙂 I chose to share a recipe from my sister because it really truly is a super yummy recipe! I think you will enjoy this gluten free dessert! It can be very…
Our team member, Conni, who usually posts our recipes each week wasn’t able to post for us today. Instead, I thought I’d share with you about how we do breakfast at my house. Whether you cook breakfast or don’t cook breakfast, you might enjoy this post! Take a look and see, and then we’d love…
If you’ve noticed over the last few years, many people have gone gluten free. But do you know why they’ve made that choice? Do you have any idea what kinds of effects a gluten free diet can have for you? Is it necessary? Is it just a fad? What is gluten anyway? First of all,…
We absolutely love our Intelliglobe Deluxe! My children (ages 18, 16, and 11) have always been very interested in maps, globes, and atlases. They enjoy looking at the continents and oceans as well as looking for particular countries, waterways, and other landmarks. They were so very excited when we received our globe that they could…
We have exciting news! We now have Hip Homeschool Moms T-shirts available! You can see in the photo below that the shirts say “I’m a Hip Homeschool Mom” on the front. The kids’ version says, “My Mom Is a Hip Homeschool Mom.” On the backs of both shirts is www.HipHomeschoolMoms.com. We’ve tried to keep the…
One of the things I love the best about homeschooling is that each homeschool parent can adjust the curriculum and methods she uses to fit her own family. My second favorite thing is that our homeschool classrooms (or other homeschool spaces and places) are flexible too! We can homeschool in the kitchen, on the sofa,…
Monday we featured the homeschool rooms of the Hip Homeschool Moms team members. Friday we plan to share some of the homeschool rooms that you, our Hip Homeschool Friends, sent in to us. Today, I’d like to share a bit of information about getting yourself organized and ready to go! After all, no matter how…
Hip Homeschool Moms Writers’ Classrooms This week, we’re going to be talking about and showing photos of the rooms we use to do school! Today we are featuring the classrooms of some of the moms who’ve written articles for Hip Homeschool Moms over the years. Some Don’t Have Dedicated Classrooms Jamie of…
If you’re like me, you want to teach your children about managing finances before they leave home. My husband and I made so many financial mistakes early in our marriage—mistakes that we might have known not to make with some training ahead of time. Back then, though, (We’ve been married for 22 years.) there wasn’t…
My daughter, Mary Grace, and I were recently invited to participate in Michael’s Create Your Own Back-to-School Adventure! We had SO much fun! Michaels generously sent us a $100 gift card, and we went to the local Michaels store to decide what we wanted to buy for our back-to-school crafts. We decided to make some…
My sweet friend, Mrs. Sharon White, gave me a copy of her book, For the Love of Christian Homemaking, to read and review. Having read her blog for several years, I knew that I liked her writing style and was very willing to read the book. I was not disappointed! The book is described as…
