On July 30, 2010, in Homeschool, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

With 20 years of homeschooling behind us, and the 21st on the horizon, you would think we would have it all figured out when it comes to curriculum.  Math has been a struggle for at least two of our five (actually, three would probably say so) and the problem isn’t always the child.  Sometimes, it’s [...]

Scraped knees and elbows, sunburns, bumps and bruises — summer tends to lend itself to more than the average number of childhood scrapes and ailments.  Parents throughout time have all had their own ways to help children deal with them – to learn to cope with minor scrapes and injuries without calling 911 or having [...]

Crayons on my Couch! (or shirt or wall or…)
