Why Young-Earth Creation Matters

I have naively believed for far too long that if a person regularly attends church, sings songs about how God created the world, mentions creation in prayers or liturgy, or homeschools her children, that she must therefore be a creationist.

Those in the old-earth camp say they believe God created the world but that He used long periods of time to allow evolution to take its course.…

The Benefits of Notebooking

Guest post by Debra Reed, NotebookingPages.com

At the end of each school year, are you finding yourself swimming through mounds of worksheets, quizzes, tests, and half-finished workbooks wondering just what to do with it all? Where does the organization begin? What do you keep?…

Making Children in Our Own Image

What makes a home school different from a public school?

When a Homeschooling Mom Needs a Substitute Teacher

Previously I’ve written about how to prepare for those days when you are exhausted. You’re the mom, the wife, and the teacher — but some days, you’re just too tired to do it all.

However, if you’re blessed to have a mother, a sister, a husband, or a close friend who can visit your home for a day and act as a “substitute teacher,” then you are very blessed indeed!…

Time for God, Husband, and Kids — When You’re Exhausted!

I received an excellent reader question lately, and she gave permission for me to share it with you:

Yup, geography! That’s one of those subjects that easily gets neglected around my home, unless I’m intentional about remembering to teach it.…

School Rooms
