If you know me, you know that I am a big advocate for finding what works for you in homeschool. I frequently say that the beauty of homeschool is that no two families have to do it the same way.

Let’s just go ahead and start out by saying none of us want to talk about this, myself included. I would rather bury my head in the sand and assume my sweet little daughters will never encounter “bad people”, “bad touch” or “bad pictures”. And, Lord willing, that will be true! I will pray to that end daily until I… Read More

My students had always had the basics of how to read when they came to me. Because of this, when Hailey started kindergarten and was begging me to teach her to… Read More
