You can’t beat this deal!! Get your kids reading and jot down the books that they have read and then take them in to the bookstore to receive a free book. My family looks forward to this every summer. We love FREE and the fact that it is a book is a huge bonus.
BORDERS
This summer, [...]
With 3 readers of very different levels in our home, I have embarked upon a new project.
My sweet friend from college is also a homeschooling mom and she discovered a website that helps her with her little guy who struggles with dyslexia.
Accelerated Reader is a website where you can type in the books that you [...]
I have been asked recently how I approach summer coming with a new reader. As a homeschooler heading for summer, I don’t intend to give my children a “real” summer break, especially from reading. I do, however, want them to have fun, relax and not feel the pressure that sometimes comes during the school year. [...]

Who Am I? 
I am a mom to 4, wife to my wonderful husband of 11 years and a teacher who has a passion for learning and sharing! I homeschool my children and cherish the opportunities to watch them learn and discover. I am excited about passing on ideas that I have and that I've found to make the journey of writing on our children's hearts easier and more fun along the way.
Beautiful Butterfly 
As our first child, our Butterfly is the fearless leader of the foursome - and she takes her job very seriously! She is 10 and is in 6th grade. Butterfly loves to read, sing, hang out with friends, read, play on the computer, read, cook, do crocheting and knitting projects, read and swim. Oh and did I mention that she LOVES to read?
Fearless Lion 
Our fearless Lion is our second child, 8 years old and in 3rd grade. Created in God's image, we often see the Warrior side of God in our son and love watching that develop in him. Lion loves Legos, Star Wars, his bike, computer games, climbing and swimming.
Little Ladybug 
Our little Ladybug is the little mommy of our family. She loves anything girly - dressing up, putting on "lips", doing her hair, singing, dancing, coloring, reading, playing with her dollies and mothering her siblings. Ladybug is 5 and is in Kindergarten. She lives life full of joy and was born with a song in her heart.
The Big Bear 
Bear is 2 and ready to take a big bite out of life. On the go as much as he is able, Bear is all boy! He loves his water table, balls, dogs, tools, his brother and sisters, books and dancing. Bear will eat anything that he can get his hands on...perhaps "Moose" would have been a better nickname for him.
Words we Live By: "Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of your cities so that you'll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the Earth." Deut 6:18-21 TM
