Thumbnail image for Is Oklahoma Really God’s Country?

Every day it seems like, more and more, I become my parents. Isn’t it funny how that happens? Sometimes it can be disturbing. But…sometimes…I really love it. This is one of those times.
Growing up… oh I’d say I can remember this from about the age of 10 or 12 and until he died 4 years [...]

Thumbnail image for Our School Room At Home

On this wall, we have some nice white boards (dry erase markers always in a safe with a Ft. Knox lock) Just kidding! And on the left, that is a genealogy for Jesus. I love charts and timelines.
Homeschoolers LOVE to see how and where other homeschoolers do school. We want details. EXACTLY where do your [...]

August 30, 2009 Home Education

Thumbnail image for Notes For The History Challenged

I Never Liked History In School
It consisted of memorizing meaningless dates and reading boring textbooks. “Who cared,” I thought. Nor do I remember a history teacher that brought it to life. (Thank goodness I married a college history major)
But for a week last fall and also, this summer, my two daughters, 11 & 8, and [...]

After, I guess I would say, 8 years of homeschooling, I have now seen (and read many, many testimonials) that whether you do formal, regimented school at home or not, the children are going to learn. Period. [...]

Before we talk about those 5 little words that have become my latest revelation, let me say this: I haven’t published a post in quite a while. It seems like all of a sudden life turned into a whirlwind. Well, maybe I should say, more of a whirlwind than usual. I haven’t been able [...]

My brother, Joe, sitting next to my father a few weeks before he died.
