Homeschool moms love blogs, free blog web hosting and want to know how to make money online!

Have you noticed how many homeschool moms and even dads are blogging and starting websites?  I love it.  It is the greatest way to network.  For me, it allows a hobby, new friends, a little cash at times (when I’m lucky), a creative outlet, a frustration outlet, a place to share trials and joys and [...]

Back on track!

My children and I are completely having media withdrawals.  We went five days with almost no internet and no television.  They did have small handheld video games but they all three have the same machine and I only left one charger out of boxes for our move.  That made playing frustrating so usually they just [...]

ADHD, could you recognize it for what it is?

Many children are being misdiagnosed every day because symptoms are missed or are missing.  With ADHD this is so often the case.  ADHD comes with a slew of symptoms.  Some of these symptoms are obvious like not being able to pay attention or being scatter brained or busy.  These are what we would consider typical [...]

Recess for Mom!

Life lessons that are learned at home.

I realize that most life lessons can be learned later on but today my children learned such a great one and they wouldn’t have learned it at such a tender age if they had been at school.  Perhaps by the time the lesson had come their way they would have thought that they knew better [...]

Snacks and mealtimes.

Like most mothers I don’t really have a problem coming up with easy lunches because some wonderful person invented sandwiches and macaroni and cheese.  I hope that those people are being rewarded big time.
What I tend to forget are snacks.  I am not much of a snacker and I do believe that if you are [...]

Responsibility, rewards, and recognition.

Children have chores.  This is something our family firmly believes in.  Children thrive when given responsibilities and are given the room to take charge of things and rise to the occasion.  This is so hard for me as a parent.  Many mother’s have confided that it is hard to let go of housework or yard [...]

Current affairs and staying positive.

Some of you are like me and have children who are old enough to hear certain world news and be alarmed but are not sure why they feel worried.  Most parents probably worry about what to say and what not to say.  Only a parent can know what is age appropriate as well as what [...]
