Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
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…

I don’t think I have ever in my life read a book about English grammar that I actually enjoyed! Until now. I recently received Finding King Onomatopoeia and Other Stories: A Fun Journey Designed to Help Students Learn the Art and Craft of Writing by Lee B. Woods. I really truly enjoyed reading this book! I love…
I posted recently on my own personal blog about homeschooling families needing to be willing to change. After homeschooling for 16 years, I still find myself planning to do things differently next school year than I’ve done in previous years. Even after all these years (and all these years of change), I still find myself…
One of my very favorite things about homeschooling is the ability to tailor our methods and materials to fit our children’s unique needs and interests.
