Review: Manhood Journey
In our society, manhood seems to be in crisis. Our 20’s generation grew up in a large number of fatherless homes, and that trend is sadly continuing. The value of the role of a father in a young man’s life cannot be overstated. Churches have long wrestled with how to address this gap and come alongside these young men. This bible study is an answer to that struggle. Not THE answer of course, but a piece of the puzzle. In light of the immense need for father/son discipleship, Manhood Journey & City on a Hill Studio developed a Bible study for fathers and sons. They kindly sent…

Feeling Overwhelmed, Homeschool Mom?
Dear homeschooling mom, I want you to grab your bottle of peace and calming and take a deep breath. If you don’t have any yet, pretend to share mine. I want to share something with you that has been revolutionary for us. What is one of our biggest challenges as homeschooling moms? Getting it all done, right? What if our kids could take responsibility for their own schoolwork? What if they could finish it every day, without us nagging them or having to sit with them every second? And what if they did it to the best of their abilities? Does that sound like a dream? It IS a dream…

Review: Creating A Masterpiece
I have never been an artist. I remember spending hours in various high school classes, practicing drawing horses, while of course listening attentively to the lectures. I tried and tried, but my horses never lived up to my expectations. It’s hard to draw horses as well as C.W. Anderson!! I’ve noticed Creating a Masterpiece at several homeschool conferences, and was always amazed at the art the students produced through their lessons. We were offered the opportunity to review their Monthly Plan and were excited to try out our art skills. One of the things that makes Creating a Masterpiece unique is the vast array of mediums that are…

For Girls’ Eyes Only
If you’re of the male persuasion, welcome, but may I suggest you find another post to read? There’s a wonderful list of recent posts just to your right. This one is for the girls. Ladies, we have a delicate subject to address today. Did you know that the products commonly available for our monthly cycles likely contain carcinogens? Yup, more carcinogens. Sigh. Dioxins Tampons contain dioxins, created during the bleaching process. They’re in very small amounts and the FDA says these small amounts won’t hurt us. BUT, the EPA hasn’t set an “acceptable” level of exposure since the real danger lies in repeated contact. Would using about 4-5…

Safe Gaming Option: The Nintendo Switch
My husband was right. Should I say that again? My. husband. was. right. He researched this new game console, and spent months talking me into it. I am not a fan of video games. While a tiny part of my heart remains loyal to my childhood memories of Mario, the rest of my psyche views them as a gigantic time waster, and a great way for 25 year old guys to end up still living at home, eyes glued to a screen and controllers attached to their hands. I’ve had conversations with my kids about not being “media zombies” and, thus far, this sage wisdom 🙂 seems to be sinking…

Bunny Love…
My sweet girl loves to cuddle. She’s 7 now, and still fairly insatiable. She’s one of those kids that would still be in the Ergo, if she’d fit. I started keeping my eye out for cats on Facebook and showed my hubby a few pics…to give her something to cuddle. But while I like cats, I don’t like litter boxes, scratched furniture, or incessant meowing. Therefore, I was still on the fence about actually getting one. Right before Christmas, I got a surprise email from my mom. It went something like, “I’m going to get a bunny for Sweetheart. Want to go with me?” Lol. I thought…
