Alarm clocks ring, shoes mysteriously disappear, lunchboxes need filling, backpacks need finding, and somewhere in the middle of it all, parents wonder how the summer went by so quickly. Don’t Miss the Short Commute I have always enjoyed those old Family Circus cartoons...

If you are a Georgia parent looking into the Georgia Promise Scholarship, you are probably asking a pretty practical question: how do we actually use these funds for homeschooling, and what does curriculum purchasing look like once we’re approved? Fair question. The paperwork side can feel foggy at first, especially when you are already juggling...

Sometimes we know something in our lives needs to change, but knowing where to begin can feel almost as overwhelming as the work itself. Maybe it’s your marriage, your family, your church—or your homeschool. When something that was once strong is now in need of repair, the temptation can be to look at the whole...

What happens when children are given the freedom to explore, ask questions, and discover the world around them? For Rachael Yunis, the answer is more than academic success.

Homeschooling science can feel intimidating — but it doesn’t have to. In a recent conversation on Let’s Talk Homeschool, Jeannie Fulbright, author of the Young Explorer series, dug into what it really looks like to teach science well at home.
