Ten Favorite Features of the Weekly Homeschool Planner

This Top Ten list shifts slightly away from my normal lists. While I do not usually write posts focused on homeschooling here on this blog, it is a growing part of our family life. And family life – full of differing options and methods (like homeschooling or not) – is a part of living for God.

I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to review the Weekly Homeschool Planner by Jolanthe at Homeschool Creations. After spending time looking over each of the pages and putting a few...

Homeschool Testing

Homeschool Testing is an Appropriate Way to Measure Progress and Get Ready for College

I bet many non-homeschoolers think we just sit around and watch Oprah all day - but not true. We take this stuff very seriously and so homeschool testing is something most of us do,

not only because many states require it, but because we really want to measure our children's progress.

There are several companies out there who test for homeschoolers, Bob Jones University Homeschool is one of them and...

Homeschool Mom Discovers a NEW Law of Science ...

Homeschool Mom Discovers a NEW Law of Science

By Vicki on 22 October 2011 / Humor, News, Science, The Home / 0 Comment

I am someday going to win some kind of prize for this.

In Science there are several systems of laws that tell how the universe works.

Here are the 5 Laws of Thermodynamics (note the fun numbering).

I had to memorize these back in college, when I was a biology major (there were still dinosaurs then):  

0th Law: "If two thermodynamic systems are in thermal equilibrium with a...

The Holistic Homeschooler: Language Arts: Why Narration?

I'm redecorating.. it's a mess. I should be finished sometime on Tuesday. Grab some coffee or tea and stay for a while. There is plenty to read. Thanks!

It's Baby #20 for the Duggars! - Homeschool - Families.com

It has been all over the news today that the Duggars will be having baby #20. My first thought was trying to come up with another "J" name will be tough. I have to admit I do not watch the show, 19 and Counting, the reality show they have made such a success. Yet, I am familiar with the family and have a tremendous amount of respect for them. I love their simple way of life amongst the chaos of children, homeschooling, and dentist appointments. In the few interviews I have seen and snippets of...

Why Homeschool: Homeschool to College - Part 2

My head is still spinning as I mention in Homeschool to College. Last night, I attended a presentation from a private religious college my daughter is considering. The price is right but the location is not our first choice. (However, it is still 3 times more expensive that the local community college options). The main speaker made a point of distinguishing between "going to college" and "being a college student." He listed off the characteristics of "being a college student" that...

Homeschooling in West Virginia: The "Approval" Option ...

This is not legal advice. As someone who lives in a state that is highly regulated, I cannot emphasize enough the need for you to advocate for yourself and make a point to know your state laws. While the school district will most likely provide you with a printed copy of the laws and regulations for home schooling, a local home schooling group can be a valuable asset when it comes to navigating your way through the system.
