Mom's Corner

Life is caught more than it is taught.
I have no pithy saying or funny pun or verse to expound upon. I am not a great photojournalist either so no appealing photos to catch your eye. I do however, have a passion to encourage homeschool moms as they love deeply and live fervently this high calling we call homeschooling.

Here are a few thoughts that I have found helpful to capturing or re-capturing the hearts of our children.

I was determined not to do it! Trying to teach a strong-willed middle schooler pushed me to my limit, and I was resolved not to homeschool for high school.
When the Lord kept closing door after door, my son said, “Mom, I really think God wants me to be homeschooled for high school.” So we pressed on … but you better believe I was crying out to the Lord for help and ideas and the grace to make it! And did He ever deliver!
