Kayaking for Beginners
Kayaking can be difficult if you have never done it before. For someone who might be new to the whole endeavor, I have a few tips on kayaking for beginners. First things first, though, be comfortable with the water and know how to swim. If you don’t know how to swim and/or don't feel comfortable in the water, I don’t recommend that you kayak. I can’t tell you the first time I kayaked, but I can tell you it’s been...

Homeschool Mom Encouragment
Hi Homeschool mamas. It’s FINALLY a cool day here in Texas and I love it.  Something about the crispness of the air makes me giddy. Can you use some encouragement as a mom today?

best pencil sharpener for homeschool

The volunteer, Dennis, was friendly and suggested books based on the girls ages and...

New to homeschooling? Start Here
Are you thinking about homeschooling or are you on the fence and not sure where to begin? That was me a few years ago and I was scared to death!! Thoughts of doubt, anxiety, and a feeling of total inability filled my head. “How can I do this?” “What AM I thinking?!” “I’m not a TEACHER. How will I teach Algebra?” “When will I go to Target and get grocery shopping done?” “Can I be around my kids every day,...
