Too often, homeschool parents are so busy reading children's books that they don't take time for their own literary enrichment.

Popular book lists for women tend to list lighter fare. I need something that challenges me and fosters my intellectual development.

For Catholic homeschoolers who are graduating their last child and entering "homeschool retirement", this will be their final spring of homeschooling. A question I'm hearing more and more lately is, "I'm done homeschooling. Now, what do I do?" It's a question I can relate to as my own nest is nearly empty. 

Here is what I really want for Christmas - to honor Our Lord's birth, have fun with family and friends, and take a break from work. Let me guess - you want that too.

All school year long we power through homeschooling. There is so much to do. It takes hard work and grit and most of all perseverance. But none of that is any good if you don’t have peace.

Well, all are filled to the brim ... except for Mom's stocking. After all, she's the one who usually handles the bulk of the Christmas shopping.
