Seeing Life From the Highest Vantage Point
What could be more appropriate during our month’s focus on home education, than a brand new eBook about it? Introducing You Can Do It Too: 25 Homeschool Families Share Their Stories. You might recognize some of the women (oh wait…there’s a guy in there too!) who contributed to this project. (Hint: three of them are [...]

By Contributing Writer, Bambi Moore This is my son Stephen. He’s a good boy, far as boys go. He loves the Lone Ranger, and he’s learning how to swim. He usually has a bruise on his forehead, and as soon as it disappears he gets a new one, yet he usually doesn’t recall where they [...]
Every child’s path will be different. This is just one path in a million. I know for a fact that NONE of our other children will follow this exact route, although there may be variations. The point of this post is to unpack one example of how it can be done if you are willing [...]
Ten years ago our hopes for our children included a college education. That seemed like a no-brainer. Who wouldn’t want their child to have the best possible chance at success in life?
