The Shocking Youth Message
I have previously linked and recommended an online sermon by Paul Washer... called the Shocking Youth Message (called such by others, not by Mr. Washer). httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cncEhCvrVgQ&feature=video_response But I think it's also really good to watch...
When Joking Hurts: A Lesson from Proverbs
I’ve often been asked to share what our Bible study looks like using our methods as outlined in a Bible Based Education. Here is a quick lesson. Bear in mind that I didn’t write this lesson plan before hand…I was reading it in my Bible during my quiet time and thought it was too good (read: relevant) to not share with my children.
Which Bible?
Which Bible do we use? Quite a few! Some are better than others for reading or studying. What am I able to read and understand? What will I actually read, as opposed to leave sitting on the bedside table? The Bible has been translated into over 75 different...

Biblical Principles of Parenting by John MacArthur
What we desperately need is a return to the biblical principles of parenting. Christian parents don’t need new, shrink-wrapped programs; they need to apply and obey consistently the few simple principles that are clearly set forth for parents in God’s Word, such as...
Gazania
Many, many years ago... in the age of dial-up connection. Remember that?
Process of Learning: How Do You Learn?
How do you learn? Who I am, how I learn, what I believe makes up who I am as a parent, and therefore a homeschooler. There have been occasions where I've heard a snippet of an idea about something but I don't have much interest so I don't investigate. I may almost...
Consider Our Ways this New Year
Consider your ways! (Haggai 1:5) Life... it's full of new beginnings! Unlike yesterday, today is the beginning of a new year. Who knows what this year will bring each family? God, the author and finisher of our faith does! I love a new year. I like new starts. Maybe...
Looking Ahead
It's the last day... of the year 2010 and this is a re-post from last year with a few updates. I've reviewed the year...various aspects of our life and family. Yes, I've taught manners, English, Maths and Science. I've taught life skills, domestic skills, health,...

Visits to the doctor
For my friends... who have experienced this as well. 🙂
And His Name Shall Be Called…
C'mon, you seriously didn't think that Christmas could go by without some mention of it on the blog, did you? Of course not! Friends know I always have something to say. 😉 However, I've said/written it before and I really don't like the sound of my own voice that...
Wifey Wednesday: Ways of Connecting
Last week Sheila introduced the idea that women, being relational and emotional, often need to talk before moving on to *other things*. I can totally relate to the imaginary story she wrote about- thinking of milk and cleaning the fridge. Why I don't even like...
Wifey Wednesday: Greeting Him
How do you greet your husband when he returns home?

Appreciating the value of natural learning
We decided not to use the same approach with the boys, allowing them the freedom to learn naturally, preferring to focus more heavily on training their character and life skills. We knew there would come a time when academics would need to become of greater importance- we weren’t dissing it, rather trying to balance it in a wholistic way.
Internet Reading
Two weeks down... four weeks left! Till what? Till my man comes back home. He's been away on a work exercise... and we all miss him terribly. My internet reading for the week has led me only to a few places, but these sites were too good to not mention. I haven't been...
Homeschool Phony
I am a homeschool phony. At least that is how I felt when my child asked to go to school.
