A Special Thank You

The fundraiser A Star for Ben is closing tonight.  Thank you to all of my readers who took the time to send prayers, support and donations to this grieving family in Newtown. I am overwhelmed by the efforts of my blogging friends and the generosity of readers from 24 states and 3 countries.

With all my heart, I thank you for your kindness.  I will deliver your gifts and messages to the family on Wednesday.

And to Julie Deneen, you saw this effort through from start to finish.  I have been along for the ride with you again and am so grateful for all that you do.

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process. I think as a homeschool parent, it’s essential to know all the options available. […]

Middle Ages Homeschool Project – Make A Medieval Castle

My girls have always been fascinated by castles, princesses and knights. Even after learning about the far less glamorous aspects of the time period through our Middle Ages study, they still felt there was much to be enjoyed. We read about medieval times from a variety of sources (you can find our book list below) […]
