Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
Me: Ah! It’s already 2:30 and there’s so much I have to get done before we leave tonight! I have to finish the laundry, pack our bags, and make that casserole. The floors should be swept, I need to make a shopping list, and we have to stop somewhere and pick up a gift before…
Women of God Magazine Editor, Trillia Newbell, is taking a plunge into homeschooling and like any writer she wants to chronicle her journey. Trillia will track her progress becoming a homeschooling mom, what she is learning along the way, each milestone, idea, problem and more. At one time, this now homeschooling mom was an anti-homeschooling…
Homeschool moms. Neighbors either think we are SuperMoms or SuperCrazy … it really can go either way. Friends watch us as we plan field trips, plan lessons, plan meals, plan every.waking.moment.of.our.lives. We are really focused on time, on curriculum, on testing, on results.

Our homeschool is undergoing the same mid-year evaluation and refocus that many of you are experiencing. My family moved twice this year within a four month time span and we got settled in our new place just in time for the holidays. November – January is my absolute favorite time of the year but I’d be…
It was the summer of 2010 when Meghan and I decided to start Hip Homeschool Moms. Truth be known, we had no idea that what started out as a fun little blog hop for homeschool moms would turn into an ever-growing community of thousands of homeschool moms supporting and encouraging each other in such life…
On Friday, September 16, 2011, my family experienced devastating change. I received a phone call that my brother and only sibling had passed away. He was 5 days shy of his 46th birthday. I hesitated to state this in a public forum this large, not because of pride; but rather because things tend to immediately…
Though it’s just as unsurprising as hearing someone likes chocolate or sleeping in on Saturdays, I’ll still say it: I love C.S. Lewis. When the marriage advice started rolling in after I got engaged, I wondered just what sort he give me. Our conversation may have gone something like this: Setting: Imagine a wood-trimmed room…
Almost a hundred years ago, Mark Twain wrote, “The human race has only one really affective weapon and that is laughter.” I think he was onto something. Laughter brings us together.
