THSC Homeschool Conference 2011

Our Family Vacation to Houston Part 17 Start at the beginning. Well, we didn’t get much sleep the night before, but as always, the kids woke up early.  Jason felt surprisingly well, considering what he had gone through the day and night before, and though I didn’t get much sleep either, we all got up… [continue reading]

What is your back to school money saving advice?

Join the discussion for a chance to win a $500 shopping spree from Blogfrog! As a homeschooling family our “back to school” looks a little different from the average family.

My daughter Faith, age nine, wrote a story for my blog today.  I am so proud of her.  She has not shown much interest in writing up to now.  I’m hoping this is the beginning of many more stories to come. One day we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  We had Grace’s birthday party,… [continue reading]
