Oh, Anne! 107 years after Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel was published, Anne Shirley–orphan, castaway, joyful heart–continues to invigorate and inspire us. One way the novel continues to inspire me is the luscious, exuberant way in which it was written by L.M.M., or “Maud” as she was called. Her fat, buttery words and her usage of…
So did you know September 17th is Constitution Day? If you didn’t, don’t feel too bad: Most Americans have no idea this is the birthday of the U.S. Constitution. Even more troubling: A frightening number of Americans can’t outline any of the seven articles of the Constitution, name a single freedom guaranteed us in the Bill…

My family chose to use a full curriculum in our homeschool, and we didn’t deviate. We homeschooled for over 20 years and successfully graduated 4 children without changing our base curriculum. We found this to be a great relief, and it gave us more time to be a family. How did we do it? First…
I got my just desserts, my comeuppance…all courtesy of my pre-teen son! That day—way back in my second year of homeschooling—it came as a stunning newsflash that my son wasn’t nearly as impressed as I with my teaching of history… Back then, you see, I would dutifully prepare by pre-reading the teacher notes in my…
When our family moved last year, I was heartbroken to have to pack up our school room – for several reasons. I had worked so hard to get it all set up just a short time before (we had only lived there 6 months before we learned we had to move for my husband’s job),…
Do your kids know what do during a lightning storm? What about if there is a fire? Have you talked about who they can turn to if they need help when you aren’t around? Or what to expect when someone they love dies? It’s not much fun to think about these things, but we all…
July 24th is Amelia Earhart Day. A Kansas-born female who was interested in women’s rights, Amelia kept a scrapbook of women who were successful in male-dominated fields, and she would later go on to become one of these women herself. Who Was Amelia Earhart? Amelia Earhart was a female pilot born on July 24th, 1897….
