There is an effort, in the secular world, to teach character apart from the Christian faith. And I have 2 problems with that: 1. We can pretend that God has nothing to do with the principles of character and good behavior, but He has everything to do with it. Every character trait we point to has its ...

I have 2 goals with this post: first one is to give your kids some useful, productive things to watch during summer and/or quarantine, and secondly, to inspire them (and maybe you) to be productive and consider starting their own business. The video below is so exciting to watch! It's a show that features several kids ...

So, this year has gone crazy and you're thinking about homeschooling, but it scares you to death? Take a deep breath--you're not alone! I remember when I first decided. I couldn't believe I was actually going to take this leap into the unknown. I read, I listened, I worried, I second-guessed. As a veteran home-school mom of 19 ...

(Note: I wrote this post in 2017 and never published it. Maybe too personal at the time? But perhaps it could encourage someone reading now, so I decided to publish it.)

If you are stuck at home, it's not easy to watch your children fall behind in their education – or to know when the uncertainty will end.

A little known fact about my incredible, loving, hard-working, selfless husband is that he is losing his eyesight. He has retinitis pigmentosa, and while the degree of vision loss varies from person to person, it is certain he'll lose all his peripheral with only some remaining tunnel sight, if he retains any. We are praying for that. Not ...

It's hard for me to understand how the masses became convinced that motherhood was a "peripheral" job.
