The week is winding down…

Posted in Homeschooling

It’s hard to believe that the week long UHSE2010 online homeschool convention is over.  I really enjoyed the sessions this year.  You could feel God’s presence.  There is something special about hearing Godly women talk about the thoughts that the Lord has placed on their hearts.  It’s fun to chat with other like-minded women.  None of us are perfect, so we can help each other along the path to seeking the Lord’s will in our lives.  What a blessing. Next week, another online homeschool convention begins – The Schoolhouse Expo.  Some of the same women that I chatted with this…

Homeschooling: Too Much To Do, Too Little Time?

Posted in Homeschooling

When I first started homeschooling Munchkin, I had grand plans of all of the wonderful things that we were going work on, and all these fun things we were going to do.  All too quickly I learned that there was no way to do everything that we wanted to do, and I also learned that if we tried to do it all, we would both become burned out on homeschooling. Over the years, we stepped away from many school-at-home type activities.  We’ve become more relaxed about homeschooling.  We’ve also learned to have more fun with homeschooling.  I’ve also worked with…
