How I Met Your Father

In my last post, I described how one genealogy blogger’s account of how her grandfather and grandmother met made me think a lot about the importance of preserving family stories for future generations.

My boys are too young to understand the story, but there will come a day when they will wonder how their family came to be and this is what I will tell them. It all started when I was a student in law … Continue reading →

Discipling Young Hearts: Virtue

Virtue is defined as moral excellence. From virtue a princess’s character and actions will reflect Christ. It is where all over character traits and right actions hinge. Yet being virtuous is not always the easy choice and will at times take courage to set faith into action. God places virtue as more valuable than wealth. Worldly wealth is temporary and does not please God. A virtuous life is one that pleases the Lord and lives eternally. Virtue is not to be defined by the world but defined by moral excellence rooted in the Word of God. A virtuous heart makes … Continue reading →

In fact, placing an ad on your sidebar is one of the least successful ways to spreading … Continue reading →

Teaching Handwriting without a Curriculum

On my blog’s Facebook page, I was asked to recommend a handwriting curriculum. I have received this question many times before and always cringe when asked.

Frankly, I never understood why one would use a curriculum based on handwriting. I teach handwriting the old fashioned way by sitting at a whiteboard and showing each stroke of each letter. My children would sit with lined paper and mimic my movements. I will not claim … Continue reading →

I Can Do It Myself

This year my son turned three. It seems like every other three year old we know is already in preschool. As a single mom with very little money coming in, I just couldn’t afford it this year. I felt guilty that he wasn’t getting the same opportunities the other kids were simply because I was a single mom who was barely making ends meet as it was. Would my child be forever behind the other kids when he reached kindergarten? Would he ever catch up? I set out to find a solution. As much as I wished I could afford … Continue reading →
