You can read my full   disclosure and privacy  As you are preparing for the next homeschool year, remember, homeschooling isn’t always about a textbook. While you are filling your planner full of plans for school lessons and activities, don’t forget to intentionally schedule down times too.  There will be days you and your children will just need to get out and enjoy the sun.  So, instead of bad weather days, try to include “Sun” days, “Fun” days. These days can lead to lots of fun and exploring. It gives your kids a chance to learn about some things outside that just may not be in a textbook. Hopefully these moments will refresh your homeschool when it starts to feel dull. Homeschooling isn’t only about academic education. It is also about learning life skills, building relationships, growing as a family, and our perso

Have you ever heard about verse mapping? I saw a book on it one day as I was shopping online for homeschool curriculum. I only read about it briefly that day, and still didn't quite know what it was all about. A few months down the road I had forgotten all about it until I was given a verse mapping book as a gift. Verse Mapping Bible Study Journal credit to Kristy Cambron photo by Heather At first, I really wasn't sure how to do it, or even where to start. Fortunately, the book I was gifted had very detailed instructions, examples, and a plan to follow.  This book makes a great guide to teach you how to verse map. I am sure you can make your own using a simple notebook, but I really like how everythi

You can read my full   disclosure and privacy  Bonfire photo by Heather  Oh! how fun it is to have cooler weather and enjoy some backyard bonfires and s’mores with family and friends. However, it is not very enjoyable when the stuffy noses hit home.  Especially now that Covid is a thing.  Around where we live, you don’t hear much about the common cold anymore.  If you hear someone sneeze, cough, or sniff, it may stop you dead in your tracks. If you are like me, you may have this thought run through your mind, “Is that a normal cough or is it covid?” If you are the one who sneezes, coughs, or sniffs you probably end up with many sets of eyes staring at you when it happens in public.  Enough of Covid.

Not to mention the slowly added pounds to my waistline. After I have made bad decisions about food a
