Homeschool parents with teenagers often fall into the trap of cramming. Cramming their child’s school days with every possible opportunity, cramming their transcript with all the extras, and cramming their years with impressive credits.

$America, we must do a better job at history instruction. We have such a unique history, rich with character and liberty, but an apalling majority of our citizens (adults and children alike) only know a fraction of its truth! A few important names and dates are memorized, but the details, the stories, the sacrifices, and the nobility of some of our greatest heroes are all but unknown. Just watch any of hundreds of college campus interviews and you'll be mortified at the complete lack of history that America's population even knows.$

I used to be the kind of homeschool mom that had a list of “learning activities” my kids could do if I was sick. As a lifelong migraine sufferer and pregnancy-bed rest champion, it happened a lot.

As you know, I am a firm believer that Anyone Can Homeschool. But I'm also a fan of making it easy and affordable. That's why I love to share free resources whenever I find a good one.

I’m celebrating 50 years today! And as always, I want to remind you that life is precious, and that our beginnings don’t determine the future.

“In this time of extraordinary pressure, educational and social, perhaps a mother’s first duty to her children is to secure for them a quiet and growing time, a full six years of passive receptive life, the waking part of it for the most part spent out in the fresh air.”

I’m one of those moms who keeps her kids in church. Not because I’m a martyr or a saint. I do it because I know THEY can do it.
