In the dusty boxes were old photographs, a few broken toys, and other items [...]
Does My Child Really Have to Choose a Career Path Now?
It’s that time of year again. As the spring blossoms emerge and warmer weather approaches, we are nearing the end of another school year. We think it will be so nice to get a break, sleep in a little, finally organize those photos, or just stay on top of the laundry for a change. But [...]
Warmth – An Essential Nutrient For Early Learning
A necessary, but often overlooked, component of learning is emotional arousal. In laymen’s terms, that means we learn more when feelings of pleasure and interest are associated with a learning experience. Our memory system encodes what we are experiencing more deeply, more lastingly and in greater detail when we are not just cognitively engaged but [...]
Homeschooling: The Adventure of a Lifetime
This article was originally written for and published by Homeschool Mosaics. Homeschooling is often referred to as a calling, a journey of faith, and a lifestyle. These are all accurate descriptions.

Homeschooling As A Single Parent
How You Can Make It Work
By Mary Jo Tate Let’s face it: being a single parent intensifies the challenges of homeschooling. In most two-parent homeschooling families, the dad takes primary responsibility for earning the living while the mom takes primary responsibility for educating the children. The labor is divided, and the support is multiplied. Although there are also many [...]
Ask The Beasts And They Will Teach You
As young boys, my friends and I would flit like tiny birds from one inquisitive hobby to another. For a time it was tadpoles, then various bugs, and later, egg-eating snakes. One day it was silkworms. I do not recall who first had them; it was not me. But my friend shared a few worms [...]
