What comes to mind as you think about your upcoming homeschool week? Anticipation and joy? Dread and frustration? Many of us don’t understand the power of “everyday” in creating our future life. A succession of “everydays” have created our situation and life today. Fortunately, we can harness the power of our thoughts about our “everydays”…
I remember driving away from the school wondering if we’d made the right decision. What if this is wrong? What if I’m not capable of being momma and teacher? What if the kids look back on their lives and decide that they hate us? In those moments of my self-doubt and worry Abba gently spoke…
In Part 1 of this article, I talked about how parents are often great teachers for their own children simply because they care so much about their children and about the outcome. Does this mean that all parents are going to be their child’s best teacher? I’m sure many parents who’ve experienced parenting a public…

Having grandparents be involved in our kids’ homeschooling experience is a wonderful blessing that not everyone has. In some cases, grandparents have passed away or are too ill to help. In other cases, grandparents live too far away for anything more than the occasional visit. Sometimes, grandparents are working hard 9-5 or have other legitimate,…
When Homeschool Moms Doubt. Notice the title does not use the word if. Purposefully. Because it is only a matter of time before something (or someone) knocks you off-center. It could be the sister-in-law whose children attend your elementary alma mater. Or the grocery store clerk who unknowingly touched a soft spot in her conversation about why she…
On today’s Mentoring Moms show we started with a discussion about “What Is Your Homeschool Message?“ This article was written by veteran homeschooler Durenda Wilson from Simple Nourishing Home. Durenda’s article was the perfect place to start the show today because the first question deals with when conflicts happen in homeschools. It really lays the foundation for how to…
