Hello Reader, This weekend we remember the ultimate act of self-sacrifice- a holy God who took the sins of the world on Himself so we could have fellowship with Him and live in His glory forever. The Easter story, and the crucifixion of Christ, highlight just how evil and dark the hearts of humanity can be, but through it the love and light of God shine all the brighter.

The Homeschool Learning Adventure Hello Reader, One of the biggest challenges parents face when deciding to homeschool their children is how they will go about compensating for the change financially. For many dual income families, this means that one parent has to quit their career to stay home and focus on raising and educating the kids. It can be a big adjustment for everyone. It is possible to work while homeschooling, as well, but depending on the parent's career field and many other...

The Homeschool Learning Adventure Hello Reader, It's been a busy week around here, and sometimes that means there are things left undone. Try not to be discouraged when this happens. Life is unpredictable. We can't plan for sickness or injuries during the course of lesson planning. We can't predict the emergency maintenance on the car, or the family member who needs help.
