This post is part of our how to homeschool lots of kids with babies and toddlers series. Be sure to read the rest of the series. You can see it on the horizon. It’s hazy, but it’s menacing. It has you worried, and you’re not sure how to prepare. What is it? It’s the day…
When you’ve told your teen for the umpteenth time that day to get back to work. When your teen is nitpicking their younger sibling. When your teen’s room looks like a bomb went off in there. When you wish just once you could ask your teen to do something without them either a) backtalking you,…
“My kid loves hands-on learning but hates to read.” “My son can’t sit still to save his life.” “My daughter spends more time day-dreaming than working on school.” If you have thought or said any one of these statements about any of your children, it might be a sign that college is not a good…
It’s Sunday night, the evening before we go to co-op, and once again the teen is madly typing away at the computer, making a valiant attempt to write a paper from FROM SCRATCH that is due TOMORROW. Why didn’t he complete it (or even START it, hello) earlier in the week, you ask? Good question!!…
I love a good buffet, don’t you? Give me lotsa variety and the chance to take a little of everything, and I’m a happy camper! (And I can chow it DOWN, y’all. Just sayin’.) Today is gonna be like a buffet! We’re going to discuss a little of everything about homeschooling high school. It’s a…

First they are claiming something is too “kiddie” for them, next they are clamoring for you to buy them a…
My husband had to talk me off the ledge once. Figuratively, that is. 🙂 I was having a cow because I had seen that the Missouri public school requirements (at the time, they may have changed by now) listed that students were to have a “career path” chosen by the end of 8th grade. EIGHTH…
The socialization thing again. Just when you’ve calmed all the relatives’ fears by proving that your kids are indeed capable of holding a conversation, “even though” they’ve been homeschooled through elementary and middle school — now the question rears its ugly head again. Because now your kids are TEENS. For some reason, one of the BIG…
