Teaching your children science can be daunting and over the past few weeks I’ve gotten a lot of reader questions about science and how we implement the specific science program (Apologia) that we’ve chosen for our family. So for today’s 4 moms question and answer post, I’ll be focusing on science questions. Here is a…
I’ve posted some of the reasons that public schools are not an option for our family. We’re not alone. More and more people are realizing the damage that can occur when we choose to send God’s children to an institution that, by law, excludes God from all ‘education’, denying the very basis of wisdom in their pursuit…
Taking the responsibility to plan for and educate your own children is a huge commitment. I often think that it is a full time job, but in reality it is only a portion of the job to which God has called homeschooling moms. This week’s 4 Moms, 35 Kids topic is keeping up with housework in the…
Memorization is something that I’m passionate about and something that I think is sorely neglected in today’s society. Memorization is an important part of our home school and one of our children’s first subjects.

Many of you asked to see our list of ‘personal’ or ‘character’ books for the children. These are books that aren’t part of our ‘history’ or ‘science’ readings. These are biographies, historic accounts of brave deeds and the sovereignty of God and encouragement for becoming the young men and women God would have them to…
We’ve simplified a lot this year. As we continue to grow in the Lord and pray for His wisdom we continue to realize how artificially complex education (even or perhaps especially home education) has become, perhaps this helps to justify the idea that parents aren’t capable of educating their own children and that it is…
I’ve heard it and you probably have too, parents rejoicing and counting down the days until the children will be out of the house and back to school. They talk about time for themselves and the delight of projects without childish interruptions, but what message does this communicate to the children involved? I find…
