The Homeschool Mother’s Progress

Pauline

By Pauline Abello Last semester we all started a journey together.  The Lord led us to this moment, together, to climb this mountain called HOMESCHOOL.  For many of us, we never thought we would climb this mountain.  It was a surprise to be at the foot of it.  Even looking up at it seemed daunting.  So high…. Others didn’t feel qualified to climb the mountain. And yet here they stand too.  All of us, from all walks of life. The Lord has called us to climb “Homeschool Mountain” together. So Read More …

Fostering Hope: My Motherhood Journey

The GIFT of Homeschooling

Pauline

By Bridget Elkins I started my homeschooling journey when I pulled my son out of public school halfway through his fifth-grade year.  I did not know what I was doing, just that I was doing it and that was it.  I am not the type to make big decisions (or little ones) without much thought and research.  It takes me forever just to buy an area rug because I have to read all the reviews and shop around until I am convinced I am getting the best possible deal.  This Read More …

The Feast of the Dedication

Pauline

“And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.”  John 10:22-23 Happy Feast of the Dedication Day!  You don’t hear that one very often, do you?  But based on this verse above, Jesus most likely would have celebrated it given that he was walking in the temple on the very day the Jews were celebrating.  This feast is celebrated even today and you should know that today is the 8th and final day of the Feast of Read More …

Quotable Mom Tips

Moms sharing homeschool tips

November 2021 Excelsior Newsletter Leeann and I had been discussing on Marco Polo (video) chat that Latin had lightly introduced the third declension but they don’t yet expect you to fully understand it—but just to grasp a little of it is all that is expected. The thought of what we don’t yet know or think we “ought” to know to be “proficient” in homeschooling could be a cause of stress— but what she said in response was SO profound and worth repeating. “I’ve made a deal with myself…you know that Read More …
