In my last entry, I posted about how Subway Restaurants had chosen to exclude home educators from their writing contest titled “Every Sandwich Tells a Story”. The decision to leave homeschoolers out has struck many, including myself, as unfair discrimination, although it is not clear that negative motivation was involved.

The sandwich restaurant Subway, is currently running a writing contest for children who are in the pre-K to 6th grade school level. Each child who wishes to enter is encouraged to select a “story-starter” from a list of choices, and write an original story that is 500 words or less in length. This sounds like [...]

A while ago I promised some more pictures of my children so I thought today I would make good on that promise. In our house, sometimes the three oldest (ages 5.5, 6.5, and 8 ) are called the “big” children, and our two younger (ages 2.5 and 1) are called the “babies”. Soon we will [...]

The Planned Parenthood organization is already an abomination to our society because of it’s blatant disregard for human life and God’s law, evidenced by the multiple abortions (murders) committed by them every day. This alone, displays the evil influences at work within their ranks, but unfortunately there is more. Aiding and abetting criminals in their [...]

Things have been quiet for a while regarding the home education situation in California following the major uproar that occured in March. However, things are still happening behind the scenes and it is important that we stay informed and on top of things. Even if California feels far from home for you, please remember that it does [...]

Ever since I was quite young there is one thing in particular that has really bothered me, and that thing is PRAGMATISM. I see things in a very black and white way, that is, for me there are no gray areas. That does not mean that I do not believe in grace, or anything like [...]

How would you like to be lied to about what your children are learning at their school today? I imagine not many would vote a big resounding “Yes, please!” to that question. However, parents in Jackson, Mississippi were told that this week their children’s studies would relate to preparing for standardized testing.
In reality, the 6th [...]

When I think of Mother’s Day, it brings to my mind happy thoughts of the memories I have shared with with the Mothers and Grandmothers in my family. It brings to my mind images of the special moments I have had as a Mother myself, with my own children. It brings to my mind pictures [...]
