Special Fun
Number Collage
Each month I come up with a seasonal craft to share. While brainstorming ideas, I decided to research January holidays. Of course we have the traditional New Year’s Eve countdown, the fact that we are starting a new calendar year, Ben Franklin’s birthday, Sir Isaac Newton’s birthday and many other fun days to celebrate. What [...]

Teens and the Bible in 90 Days
Last January, I took on the task of reading the Bible in 90 Days for the second year in a row. God gave me a huge burden to lead others in this life-changing challenge, so I took it to my church’s youth group. What began as a burden from the Lord blossomed into 25 students [...]

When A Homeschool Mom Sends a Child to Public School
Even before my first child was born, I knew I would homeschool. It was perfectly logical (I like logical) and I truly felt called to do so. In fact, it’s one of the first things I can remember feeling called to do. A divorce changed the circumstances in my life dramatically around the time my daughter Kathryn was [...]
New Year, New Journey, New Strength

Fresh Start by Our Good Family

Building the New Year by Fruit in Season
I slide the scissors along the seam and open up a new box. The bits of fuzz surrounding the one thousand little pieces float down as I cut open the plastic bag and we sweep them in the trash before beginning the sorting and flipping process. “Flip them all picture side up. Then look for the [...]
