Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
Right about this time last year, I shared 5 New Year’s Resolutions to Inspire Moms. If you missed it, go ahead and check it out. They are still great resolutions for you to make. I’ll wait here for you. 🙂 I’m still not a big fan of the “lose weight, exercise more, read my Bible…
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…
Do you ever feel your family struggles to find enough space for screen-free family time? Maybe you battle to tame the techno tyrants within your home. I know I can relate to this struggle. There are times when I see my entire family engaged in a screen rather than being connected with one another. It…

At the beginning of our first year of homeschooling, I made a trip to our local homeschool bookstore to choose curriculum for my only child…a kindergartener at the time. Yep. I did. But that’s a whole ‘nother story falling under the category of “Things I Would Say to My Rookie Homechool Mom Self.” I did…
Friends, I am writing to you today straight from a tender heart. It is tender because I am coming up on a season of our lives in which I will need to help my sweet almost ten-year old girl make new friends and create new homeschooling circles of her own in the community to which we…
This is the second post in a series of posts for moms who are considering homeschooling or who are brand new homeschoolers. The first post addresses the importance of learning about your state’s homeschool-related laws and how you can do that. Future posts will address topics such as identifying your child’s learning style, choosing curriculum, deciding…
Today, I had the pleasure of speaking at a local homeschool conference. This is the second year I’ve been given the opportunity. Each year I leave feeling blessed because I expect the conference to go one way, and there’s inevitably a sharp left turn that takes me on an exciting adventure. This year I was…
Here we are, rapidly approaching the end of the school year. Perhaps your year has gone swimmingly- I hope it has! Or perhaps, you’re like me and find yourself frustrated that the curriculum “didn’t work.” You’ve spent time and (maybe a lot of) money on this curriculum thinking *this* will be what helps.
