Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
We’ve all done it, and as women, it began when we were little girls sitting in Kindergarten (or if you were homeschooled, in Sunday School class), and the girl next to you was, to your way of thinking, better at something than you. Maybe your hair was brown and hers was yellow. Maybe it was…
Right about this time last year, I shared 5 New Year’s Resolutions to Inspire Moms. If you missed it, go ahead and check it out. They are still great resolutions for you to make. I’ll wait here for you. 🙂 I’m still not a big fan of the “lose weight, exercise more, read my Bible…
Autumn is my favorite time of year for so many reasons. Changing temperatures, falling leaves, hot soup simmering on the stove, apples, pumpkins, Thanksgiving — it’s all just so wonderful! The homeschool year is generally in full swing by now, leaving time for those fun nature walks, collecting leaves and pine cones for collages, baking…
I am embarrassed to admit this openly, but the first year we homeschooled, I budgeted $1000 for curriculum and supplies. For kindergarten. For one child. Really. Thankfully, over the past 8 years of homeschooling, I have come to realize a couple of things. First of all, just because someone on Facebook says a product is…

Even if we don’t understand how or why, God’s ways are better than our ways. But it’s not always easy to acknowledge that fact and live in peace with it. Trusting God is not always easy. I was the girl who started babysitting at age 12. The one who often slipped out of worship to…
The world would have us believe that love is an emotion . . . a feeling. Something out of our control. Something that just happens to us. But the world is not the source of truth. Truth tells us something very different from the world. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all…
I am not a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions. I’m not sure I’ve ever kept one. In fact, I pretty much stopped making them years ago. Of course, my New Year’s resolutions usually involved losing weight (usually by joining Weight Watchers on January 1) and exercise (usually by joining a gym I rarely visited…
I remember the day I decided that we should homeschool. My 3-year-old son had asked to learn how to read. After just a couple of weeks of some basic instruction in how to string together CVC words, he was pouring through BOB books. By the time he turned 4, he was reading everything in sight….
