My Children ~ My Teachers

Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.~Matthew 18.3 I have learned so much from my children and I know I will continue to learn from them. So, "I need to make sure I'm a fast learner, because they won't always be around to hold my hand."

Sisters

Bless you, my darling, and remember you are always in my heart - oh tucked so close there is no chance of escape - of your sister.~Katherine Mansfield

Five Little Maidens

Girl's Everywhere~Only you can restore virtue; only you can cast out corruption; only you can drive the fiends of intemperance, of fraud, of oppression, of despair, of craftiness, of selfishness, from the land!

Our Very Own Island Story

Click the pic to read about our 3 year adventure while living on an island in northeast Wisconsin.

kenzie

For some reason Kenzie has been interested in learning about the Constitution of the United States. She found a book on the shelf by Applewood Books on the Constitution and asked if she could read it. Sure, go ahead!! Never mind that it is far above her grade level. So she reads the first 3 paragraphs and looks at me and says: "I think Obama should read this book!! Then as she walked off I heard her say: "course he probably doesn't even know about it! (meaning the constitution)"

Mary

Upon receiving her older sister's job of unloading the dishwasher Mary had only one thing to say-"Since I'm the youngest kid does that mean I have to have the dishwasher for the rest of my life?"

Mary

"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." Doug Phillips

Raising Organic Children

Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline, a Life

The Benefits of a Classical Education

The New American

R.C.Sproul~

Thinking that education is something different from discipling our children is a sure sign that we have been "educated" by the state. Education IS Discipleship.

Garden of Praise

Education choices are not neutral

When you choose schooling...you select the outcome of your child's life. (click the pick to read why)

commonplace books in our homeschools

Commonplacing is the practice of entering literary excerpts and personal comments into a private journal. These are key in our homeschool and I am amazed at how much the children learn from using this method. To learn more click the picture.

Love of the outdoors

Nature study prepares your child's heart to worship God. "From the flower in the crannied wall to the glorious firmament on high, all the things of Nature proclaim without ceasing, 'Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty'" Charlotte Mason

Four Steps That Lead to Peace

Be desirous of doing the will of another, rather than thy own. Choose always to have less, rather than more. Seek always the lowest place, and be inferior to everyone. Wish always, and pray, that the will of God may be wholly fulfilled in thee.

If The Shoe Fits~Wear It

Ever find it disturbing when the life you have chosen begins to carry a very close resemblance to that of a well known nursery rhyme?

A Mother's Heart is the Child's Classroom

Family Read Alouds

Against Schools

The Underground History of American Education
Public Schools - Public Prisons
Public Schools, Public Menace: How Public Schools Lie to Parents
America's Public School System:Brutal and Spartan

A Point to Ponder

If we continue to send our children to Caesar for their education, we need to stop being surprised when they come home as Romans. Dr. Voddie Baucham

"A general State education is a mere contrivance for molding people to be exactly like one another....in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind."---John Stuart Mill
