Blog postGod has a unique way of bringing beauty from ashes. When the horrid COVID lockdown hit Florida in 2020, like many churches, we were forced to livestream our services. One major difficulty we immediately discovered was that the children were becoming disengaged and pulling sweet mom and dad from the service (aka their laptops).
Enter storytelling.
As the pastor I decided to create an adventure series with Christ-centered application points that would appeal to ages four through -
Blog postPlease Enter Our Giveaway at the end of this post! I remember rocking my oldest daughter Katie Beth in the middle of the night in a small apartment in Phoenix. She had fallen asleep in my arms and as I gazed at her face, I felt overwhelmed with the responsibility of motherhood.
Could I do it? Would I fail?
Would we be friends when she grew up?
Sitting there in that dark room, I thought of four things I desperately wanted to be successful at in her life as her mother. -
Blog postHave you ever considered taking a road trip to learn geography?
We’re going to learn US geography the fun way—this is our final “road trip”! Only this time we’re taking a cruise starting in Alaska and making our way down the west coast and out to Hawaii. From the island state, we’ll make our way to our five territories. You will see some breathtaking views, enjoy delicious seafood, and venture into the Ring of Fire. Grab your navigation chart, pack your suitcase, and don’t forget your -
Blog postMy husband had to represent his company at a trade show and he invited me along. He had a few hours each afternoon for sightseeing and at the top of his wish list for the trip was a visit to the 911 Memorial and the World Trade Center. I was eager to go with him.
This was an important visit for him and he didn’t want to get lost, so he asked the concierge at his Times Square hotel for directions on how to catch the subway to the memorial. He read that this was the most cost-effec -
Blog postGrowing up in western-central North Carolina was a bit like growing up in a black and white tv show at times. It was a slower pace, a simpler way of life, and we had Andy Griffith right up the road! I’ve since moved away but had a chance to take the kids back there one time during our six years of roadschooling.
We travelled all over the United States – you should totally do it, if you ever get the chance!
Since we were travelling near the town of Mt. Airy, North -
Blog postI was born and raised in the state of Illinois, but since leaving home I have traveled the country and lived in two other states for extended periods of time. Overall, I’ve come to appreciate my home state of Illinois more and more over the years. It’s easy to think of Chicago when you hear about Illinois, but I have always lived in “the rest of the state”, as I like to say, and it has so much to offer. My hometown is big enough to have many great cultural opportunities thanks to

Blog postHave you ever considered taking a road trip to learn geography? You can learn US geography the fun way—on a road trip! So, pack your suitcase, grab your gear, and head for the open road–it’s wide open space out here in the west.
On our whirlwind tour of the Southwest and Western States, we’ll see the deserts, cattle ranches, rock formations, mountains, Native Americans, and cowboys. We’ll need to stay hydrated out in the desert and warm in the mountains. This is the land of rugged bea -
Blog postOur family lived in Maine for two and a half years in a small town that was about halfway between Augusta, the capital, and Portland, the largest city in Maine. All three of these cities are in the southern half of the state.
The state of Maine is known for its cool weather. Where we lived the average temperature in the winter was below freezing and in the summer was in the 60s.
Fairy Tale Castles Our home was in a small neighborhood surrounded by forests and fields. My house -
Blog postLike many midwestern states, Ohio is a checkerboard of corn and wheat fields but with a surprisingly varied number of educational experiences awaiting homeschooling families. Whether digging for agates at Lake Erie to the north or exploring caves in its rolling hills to the south, there is much to appreciate about this state who birthed 13 U.S. Presidents, and nowhere better to begin than in my hometown of Dayton, a town built at the Crossroads of America, also known as the Birthplace of Avia

Blog postDisclosure: I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.
I’m always excited to review homeschool resources from Home School in the Woods. Activity Pak: The New Testament is an amazing resource to supplement Bible study and Ancient History courses. We used it to spend some fun, but Bible-centered time with our grandkids.
My husband and I are doing one activity a week when we watch our children one night a week so their parents can go on a date. -
Blog postAre you thinking about homeschooling?
You are making a great decision to homeschool your children! No one cares more about your children than you do as a parent! Not only are you able to give your sons and daughters an excellent academic education, but you can impart your faith and build a strong relationship with them. I’m so grateful for the privilege of homeschooling! I treasure every memory!
It was a very long time ago that I was in your shoes. It was the 1991 and
