Homeschooling in Tough Times
It is possible to continue homeschooling under tough circumstances, though perhaps not easy. Those circumstances may vary, but the solution is at heart similar in most cases.

What To Do When You're Stuck Inside
While most of the country needs rain, it can really be hard on home-school families that are then stuck in the house with no outlet. There’s just something about not being able to go outside that really makes you want to go outside. But there are things you can do to make your day that has been rained out, more fun.

A Foundation that Handles the Hard Times: Part 1
I've spent some time, lately, thinking back over our homeschooling years and comparing how we fared with the stories of other homeschoolers I've known and worked with. Inevitably, these thoughts led me to one basic question. What did we do, and what have others done, that made the difference? Why is it that we were able to homeschool through graduation, through the very same hardships that drive many away from homeschooling and back into the system?

When Homeschooling Becomes a Juggling Act
We cannot always predict what will be happening to ourselves or our families. Accidents, sudden illnesses, loss of a job or natural disaster are never part of our plans. When they occur they can put a real roadblock in our homeschooling path.

Making Lemonade
A few years ago, life handed us a bowl of lemons. In the beginning, they were lovely to look at and wonderful to eat, bringing pleasure to both taste buds and eyes. After a while the novelty paled. We no longer cared to look at them and no longer savored their tangy meat.

Homeschooling in Time of Trials
No matter what we're going through in life, if God has called us to homeschool, He will give us the grace, wisdom, and strength! In all the years we've homeschooled, we've done so through many different circumstances and trials. It's not like God calls us to homeschool and we say, "OK, Lord, now will you please hold off all the trials for the next 12 years so we'll be able to really concentrate on academics?" He promises to help us THROUGH the trials, and in the MIDST of the trials!

Home Schooling and Mental Illness
Is it a sin to take anti-depressants? How do I know if I have a spiritual problem or a physical/mental illness? How can a Christian home schooling mother get depressed? How can I help a friend who is depressed? These are hard questions with no easy answers.
