Creation is our faith foundation
We are told to live by faith. We are to believe in a God we cannot see and trust Him to continue to be who He claims to be. How do we do that? What is our faith based on? We live in such an uncertain world full of fraud and lies. How can we […]
Torah in your school day
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall […]
Teaching Early American History
I know as we look around, it can be discouraging to try and teach our children the amazing history of America. This country has chosen, for the most part, the low and immoral route. Yet, when we look at our beginnings, this country was founded on firm Biblical principles. I have made a fresh effort […]
How to fill your homeschool library

Teaching children about cash
It is fun to watch how children work with cash differently as they grow older. I was recently at the video game store with my 14-year-old son. He was certain he had enough to pay for his game and nerf gun without help. So, he flung, yes flung, his money on the counter. To his […]

Getting ready for school
It’s that time of year again! It’s time to figure out what we are doing for school this year. I have a bit of eclectic approach leaning towards Charlotte Mason when it comes to homeschooling.
