People always try to say that America was not founded as a Christian nation. My answer: read a book. All the books. The internet will be no help. If you want a good movie to enjoy with your family this weekend, check out some (or all!) of my favorites for Independence Day: Dear homeschooling mama, don’t let the pressure of the world around you bring unneeded stress into your home this summer. Don’t let the educational goals of others dictate what happens in your home. Guess what?!? @iew Institute for Excellence in Writing is giving me TWO $50 gift certificates to give to my readers! When did people start fearing babies? They are literally the cutest and most adorable members of the human race. They make life better for everyone who has one. I am the product of a 14-year-old teen mom. I never met my biological father. My mom was not a Christian. She was addicted to drugs. We lived very poorly for years. Everywhere we go I look for opportunities to bring history to life. So a Mississippi Riverboat cruise has been on my list for years! There is so much history on the Mississippi, and I wanted my kids to experience just a little bit of it. Moms, there is no better encouragement, wisdom, inspiration, or instruction for your calling that what is found in the scriptures. There is no better preparation for our day than time spent in God’s word. It strengthens the heart, reminds us of God’s goodness and sovereignty, and builds our confidence as Christians. I would like to remind you that “behind” is a public school notion. You might not be finishing your grade-leveled book by the end of the grade level year, but that really isn’t important. Many traditional homeschool curricula are just copies of public school curriculum. They follow the public k-12 plan with a lot of busywork and repetition.
