Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
This is my second year homeschooling my boys. And it started off really rocky. You see this summer my boys and I had to move unexpectedly out of our home and spent nearly three months homeless. We stayed with gracious friends and family. One friend even let me use her home to bake a birthday…
Tomorrow is Jesus’ birthday. According to my four children, the absolute best day of the year. I happen to agree. I am not a morning person. I am a Christmas person through and through, but despite my love for Dec. 25th being jumped on and attacked by vicious, gift starved children is not a good…
Up until a few years ago, our Christmas present plan was sort of…well…non-existent. We had, un-intentionally, adopted the gift-giving traditions that my husband had grown up with of giving three presents for each child, each slightly larger than the last. On Christmas morning, however, we found that with four kids (at the time) getting many toys…
At the beginning of this year, I decided I would jump on the band wagon of some of my favorite homeschool mom bloggers and claim in Jesus’ name, one WORD for the whole year to live by. A one word mission statement that is the starting place for God’s will in my life. I prayed…
Our firstborn child: the recipient of every parenting error, disaster, and well . . . mistake! I speak from experience because I, too, am a firstborn child; as is my husband. A saving grace in our marriage, is that the two of us focus on different things from which we demand perfection! But I digress….

How do you do it all? The mom with two children asks the mom with four. How do you do it all? The mom with four children asks the mom with eight. The truth is I think that most of us question why God allowed only 24 hours in a day, right? The older I…

Two or three days a week we see them there, legs stretching, arms reaching, jumping and spinning with such an appearance of ease. Two ballet dancers, a duet, partnering in rehearsal and preparation for their big day on the stage. My son watches them with rapt attention. He is almost six, just completing his first…
We are trying something new with the hope that it will help everyone to find past information and resources that were shared on our Facebook page with more ease. Our new Facebook Community Discussions page here at Hip Homeschool Moms is broken down into a list of categories. If you click on a category it…
It was the day after Labor Day—and the first time in my adult life—maybe ever—that I was at home on this day. August was not filled with watching sale flyers for back-to-school bargains, polishing a classroom, making bulletin boards, or fielding phone calls from anxious parents. The only anxious parent I had to deal with was…
Homeschooling is difficult. Rewarding, amazing, worth-it…YES! However, we can all agree that many moments, hours, days, or even years are just plain hard. Then, add in real life too. Oy. It can be overwhelming. Money, family, house cleaning, holidays, exercise, cooking, friendships….and MARRIAGE. I’m going to stick my neck out there and say my husband…
