Even Veterans Wonder, “Can I Really Do This?”

A good friend of mine and I were talking about whether or not we really know what we’re doing with this homeschooling thing. She is more a veteran than I as her oldest son is going into high school and she has homeschooled her kids from the very beginning. So far, we haven’t messed up our kids. . .but can we really, really train a child all the way from birth to high school and send him forth into the world confident that despite our shortcomings, that child can do well? Moments of self doubt creep in, even for us … Continue reading →

The Freedom To Be Socially “Awkward”

Last week I had the opportunity to watch my oldest daughter’s ballet class. It’s very interesting to watch her. She is not the most gifted in the class. But she works and she works really, really hard and it has definitely paid off. She follows instructions and listens very intently. She is one focused young lady.

Finding Balance with Money Management

It is important to find a balance when it comes to money management. I am sure that you know people who are so careful with their money, that they never take the time to enjoy it. They do not go on long vacations, buy toys for their children, or give to others. Their focus is to save, save and save some more! And I am sure that you know people who take no thought for the future, or even for the present. The simply buy what they want when they want, even if it means financing everything. Both of these … Continue reading →
