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. My children aren’t forced to sit in a classroom for hours on end using books and materials that might not appeal to them at all. And if they come upon…
Tools for Education At Caffeinated Rhino, our goal is to make your life easier by providing high quality software tools that organize and simplify homeschool education. I started out the new year with one goal in mind. One resolution. I’ve been working since then to keep it. My resolution was to get more organized. I…
Meal planning has never been a great strength of mine. Even though I know it’s very helpful and saves time and money, I’ve just had a hard time making myself do it! This article gives some information about eMeals, which may help you (and me!) get better at meal planning. Lately, I’ve felt like I…

Many parents feel like this is a normal stage that our children must go through as they grow up. From toddlers to teens, most of our children at some time or another…
I have a confession to make. I am a disorganized mom. I procrastinate. I do things like totally forget to feed lunch to my children. I’m a work-from-home, stay-at-home mom, but I desperately need my own personal secretary! (As I’m writing this, my hubby looked over my shoulder and read what I’m writing. I told…
I discovered LifeCubby at a homeschool convention I attended. To be honest, it caught my attention because I saw a sign that said, “Free!” I don’t usually see a lot of free things at conventions, so I stopped to get more information. I took a quick look to see what it was about, and saw…
Leftovers again. Yes, I serve leftovers pretty often. Actually, I only serve leftovers to my family—most often to my husband. I wouldn’t want to give leftovers to my church family now would I? And of course I would never serve leftovers to the other moms in my homeschool group. And what would my neighbors think…
