Not For the Faint of Heart
OK...so, teaching at home can be challenging for so many reasons...but I take comfort when my heart and my strength many times fail, but...the word of God says ''God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever''...
Yes we fail, yes we fall short, yes we can get discouraged, but we have to look to God who never fails, never falls short, and will strengthen our hearts (and hands) for the work!
You may feel like you can't do it - But God in you can! | | juleszap |

Who'd Have Thought!
Have you ever thought about how much you give away of yourself? Have you ever stopped to wonder why? Homeschooling is such a demand on your time, your energy, your emotions. You give all you have for your children. For no pay whatsoever, you teach, grade papers, encourage, and create. Without a break, you plan, prepare, poke, and prod. With seldom a pat on the back, you do it because you want to! That's the life of a homeschool mom. The joys are enormous! The pleasures are unending! The rewards come in the form of a sparkle in their eye when they get it, a snuggle when you read to them, a pride when they announce to the world that their mommy is their teacher! Enjoy!! | | learnin |
Baking & cooking
Freezer Meals
A year and a half ago, I bought a great book called, Fix, Freeze, Feast. It is full of recipies for the freezer. But the thing I liked about this cookbook more than others was the marinades. There are many recipies here that simply take raw meat and pour a marinade/sauce over it, then you pop it in the freezer. Then while the entree is defrosting before dinner, the meat is marinading in the sauce. After reading this cookbook, I went right to the internet to look up even more marinades. So now, whenever meat is on sale, I buy some and choose a few different marinades, and voila! I have meals in my freezer, ready for some steamed rice and veggies. | | esargent0307 |

Saving Money on Laundry
Save money on laundry by using 1/2 C baking soda and only about 1/2 the amount of detergent. Bulk stores such as Sams Club or Costco carry huge bags of baking soda for a great price.
Baking soda is a natural cleaning agent, so laundry comes out clean and you extend the life of your detergent. | | porchfanatic |

Saving Money on Curriculum
After twelve years of homeschooling, the biggest money-saver for me has has been to use OLD EDITIONS from popular publishers! The biggest key is that you find complete sets that include the text and questions key. You can compile quizzes and tests yourself using the keys. It's easy and effective especially for subjects like health, history, general science, and literature. | | wife4life92 |
Art & music
Kids love it
Most kids love to paint or do some artwork. They defiantly love crafts. A really great time to let them do these things is while you read aloud to them. espcially if there some books they prefer not to hear. | | story |
