I’m trying something new—a weekly (or monthly) wrap-up sort of post where I share bits and pieces that don’t warrant full posts and that allow me to share personal type things about homeschooling and so forth as well as just random thoughts and ideas and material for my personal memory archives. I’m inspired to do [...]

Introversion

Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That’s how the light gets in. –Leonard Cohen, from “Anthem” via A Meditation for the Weekend: How the Light Gets In – By Susan Cain. Accidentally came across this quote via Facebook today and just loved it. It [...]
My Tribe!
Posted in family, fathers, homeschooling, mothers, off topic, personal, self-care on January 25, 2012 | 6 Comments »
This is perhaps the most long-overdue post in the history of my blog. Several years ago, The Feminist Breeder wrote a post in which she answered the question, “how do I do it?” I’ve lost the link for her original post, but the gist of her answer was, not alone. She also asked readers to [...]
Natural Learners

As long as I have homeschooling on the brain lately, I want to quickly share some things I had saved in my drafts folder. This will most likely be my last homeschooling post for a while and I’ll return to my usual topics! Quite some time ago (pre-children), I wrote the following in response to [...]
Homeschooling Today (Part 2 of 2)
Posted in family, homeschooling, mothers, personal on September 30, 2011 | 4 Comments »
So, after my extremely long “ghosts of homeschooling past” post, it is time for my follow-up post about what homeschooling looks like for me today. My boys are only 8 and 5 and if there is one thing that I know for sure, it is that how our daily lives look will change many times. [...]
My Homeschooling Life Story (Part 1 of 2)
Posted in family, homeschooling, mothers, personal on September 28, 2011 | 13 Comments »
As I mentioned several posts ago, I’ve received some requests to write more about homeschooling. I realized I’m a little stumped on the direction to take, realizing that I used a lot of my “homeschool philosophy” type of energy up writing papers on the subject in college and that I also don’t feel like I [...]
Success, Parenting, and Having Each Other’s Backs
Posted in family, friends, homeschooling, mothers, women on September 14, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Sometimes my day is made by receiving an email thanking me for putting into words what the reader has felt, but has not been able to express. These emails/comments make my writing worth it to me—to know that I’ve made a connection across the distance and touched someone else’s life. Likewise, sometimes I can best [...]
Getting a C-Minus
Posted in family, homeschooling, mothers on August 17, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Several years ago, I read a collection of essays called Sons & Mothers that I picked up at the book sale. I marked this quote from it to share: “I also believe that C-minus is the top mark for motherhood. Each generation strives to build faster, cleaner planes, trains, and automobiles and to be better [...]
Homeschooling & Feminism
Posted in family, feminism, homeschooling, mothers on August 12, 2011 | 7 Comments »
Though I spent my entire childhood as a homeschooler and my own children are also homeschooled, I find I rarely have the urge to write about it. Homeschooling for my own children felt like a “given” to me—I didn’t feel like doing any reading or soul-searching about making the decision, as it had been made [...]
