I was a public school teacher for six years before having my own children and becoming a stay at home mom. I taught middle school special education. Yeah…it was a tough, but very rewarding job. I even earned the title of “Teacher of the Year” for one school year. I always knew that we would homeschool our children. I was called to it before we had children and once we had them that calling was confirmed many times over. One {Read More}

My husband and daughters spent tracked Hurricane Isaac as it made it’s way to and then across the United States. This provided a way for my husband to be involved in our homeschool studies. Through tracking Hurricane Isaac my girls learned geography, map reading skills, current events, weather, and so much more!

Our homeschool memory verse for this week comes from Matthew 6:9. Over the next several weeks we will be working on memorizing the Lord’s Prayer, learning one verse each week.

The thing that I am most excited about this year in our homeschool is the music lessons that I have signed my girls up for. Our church recently opened a Worship Arts Center where they are offering private and group music lessons in addition to children’s choirs. I went to an information meeting and after speaking to the director, decided to sign EA and MC up for lessons. MC has been interested in playing the piano for a long time {Read More}
