From time to time the homeschool social media lists will break out in questions about modest clothing for young girls and sometimes for the Moms. Then everyone will send their favorite modest clothing site and the groups calm down again.However, while traveling last week I had forgotten my slip, just a little half slip, but something that made a big difference in my favorite dress I was going to

I'm writing this as the nation votes for the next President of the United States. We've seen the young people following this Pied Piper all over this Nation. There are reports of friends telling friends to ignore their brain and vote their emotion.. Reports are coming in of kids voting for Obama in their schools after reading particular articles given to them by their teachers. How could a Pied

Well, I was feeling bad, not having done a radio show in about a year, when I checked on the other shows. Seems podcasting was a big thing in 05 and has since deminished over the last several years. Was this a fad? Or was the hard work necessary for radio shows just too much for hard working homeschool Moms and Dads?Yes, it does take someone with a producers hat to line up guests. It takes an

Today I would like to write something a bit more personal. May is the month of homeschool graduations and homeschool conferences. Last year, I graduated one of my children in a wonderful small homeschool ceremony with friends around us. This year, however, was something spectacular.My daughter graduated from ORU in Tulsa. I must say that I have been to several college graduations, but ORU is the

With an unplanned turn of events, I find myself on a mountain in northern Alabama with a family of 13 children. My gracious hostess, Vanessa, puts up with my incapacitated rehab state, all the while singing and smiling with her 12 of her 13 children round about her. One of the 13 is away in the Marines.Although older and, I thought, wiser than this young mother of 13, I'm learning quiet a bit

I know that some of you are asking * what is Jube doing at a motorcycle rally?* Well, to give you some history, my dh was a guy on a motorcycle when I met him (look up Jim Croce to get a pic of him in his youth) and we traveled across America in our early years. He gave up his motorcycle when we had our first born.Our church in the 80s was one of the first to support a motorcycle ministry

Well, I'm up early because of the rain. Watching the radar on tv and on the computer. It's 300 miles away, yet my back yard is ponding. Yep, it's hurricane season in Texas again. They are already sounding the alarms for the next hurricane which is still a week out. Too bad North Texas can't get rain without us being soaked here on the coast.I do hope that homeschoolers in Texas know that having

Well, it's that time again. It's time NOT to go back to school. We do enjoy the sales, the new paper and markers, but we soo much more enjoy not going back to school. With the THSC State Conference in The Woodlands this coming weekend, we look forward to reviewing new curriculum, going to workshops for new ideas and old techniques we've forgotten about.The teens will enjoy their workshops which

Well, after a great thanksgiving with the family, we have Dr. Phil's show to watch tomorrow. I can't believe this guy is a Texan the way he ambushed the homeschoolers. We will be talking about this on our radio show next week: The Homeschooler Next Door streaming on Drama Free Radio station. I don't think any of the main media are willing to go head to head with Dr. Phil, but this homeschool

Well, we have been on the road for 10 days now. We hit Iowa just as a northern did and voila, it was 50 degrees. I love being on the road with my kids. It's a great time to remind them of each state's slogan, ask about the geography of the places we travel through, and of course, discuss things endlesslyl. They enjoy and annoy each other in various degrees along the way. But overall we have

Well, it's almost the end of the school year, and on all the homeschool lists there is that Spring Freak Out that comes with the end of the standard school year. *Did we do enough??!!!* We did not finish the book! As though the teachers ever finish the book.Here's the secret: the teachers never finish the book. I was sooo disappointed when my daughter was kept in school for the finish of her 6th

Wow, we've been homeschooling for 16 years. It was just yesterday that I was exploring this new educational decision. We were having problems with one child in school. There are just so many counseling sessions you can have with the teachers before you realize, they don't have a clue about your child. So we pulled her on Valentines day, went skating with a homeschool group, and have not looked
