The 2:1 Conference is an event for Christian homeschool bloggers to connect and encourage one another. A Journey Through Learning Lapbooks was my sponsor for this weekend of refreshment. My reoccurring theme for the conference: Jesus, [...]

The gardens are now blooming around the house; birds are singing. The grass is turning bright green. We’ve been moving our projects outside to the picnic table by our tire swing tree. Have you taken your learning outside as well? I found this Backyard Bird Feeder project that I couldn’t wait to make with the [...]

Making a volcano science project has been on our homeschool to-do list for several years. Zion has read me how to make homemade volcanoes countless times. I’m not very good at being the kitchen-science-mom; but this is one of the areas that I’m working on doing more. I told him if he can find projects [...]

My family and I spent yesterday on the road to the Teach Them Diligently Convention. It was 8-hours in the car, with a few stops peppered in. But, all that car time was worth it! I made it just in time for the blogger meetup! I’ll be sharing more on Facebook today from the convention. [...]
And Big Family Friday Link-Up! I’ve wanted to share with you the homemade butter cookie and butter cream icing recipe that we love. It is loaded with sugar and junk that I know my health-minded readers will frown upon. Everything in moderation, right? The kids enjoy this recipe because they have the opportunity to roll out [...]

My husband and I are open to grow our family in any way that the Lord sees fit; we are preparing for a large family. We see ourselves planning and making choices based on children that we have yet to meet. When we buy a new-to-us vehicle we don’t shop as a family of seven, [...]

First let me say that I’m always multitasking. It’s just the reality of homemaking/homeschooling life with a growing family. I don’t look at this season as one to rush through because these little years will not last forever. That being said, I usually line up my little boys and change two diapers at a time. [...]

As homeschoolers we’re already doing things different from many families. Creative thinking and ingenuity go along with the territory. But as you take the homeschool plunge you may wonder how homeschooling families make it all work. Several of the questions that I’ve received deal with this underlying theme: How to Cope Financially While Homeschooling Some [...]

See, we can talk about all of life’s important subjects here at Holy Spirit-led Homeschooling. How to Boil Chicken is exciting; it’s another little help for saving money on groceries. Which is a topic that I’m fairly passionate about as I tend to a growing family of seven. It’s helpful to open my freezer and [...]
Pin ItI thought I’d offer a little Christmas comedy on this week’s edition of Big Family Friday. We love Christian comedian Brad Stine. Take a few minutes and enjoy this comical spin on Happy Holidays vs. Merry Christmas. Oh, and ya’ gotta love a “Christmas Flash Mob” too! Praise God for people who sing His praises [...]
I’m very pleased to have Sherry from Large Family Mothering guest posting today for Big Family Friday! Children are an heritage of the Lord! I don’t think of my children as one group, or even as any certain number. Just the other day I even forgot for a moment how many children I actually have [...]
“Before I started to put you together in your mother, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart as holy. I chose you to speak to the nations for Me.” Jeremiah 1:5 (NLV) My heart goes out to Michelle Duggar and her family this morning. There is an outpouring of love for [...]

My friend Karen DeBeus is an all-star homeschooling momma in my book. I’ve enjoyed reading her blog about living simply in all areas of life for Christ. I asked Karen to share more of her heart with us today. Here’s what she said about homeschooling, faith and simply living…for Him. When God placed me on [...]
I was thrilled when I heard the news earlier this week that Michelle Duggar is pregnant with her 20th child. I praise God for her family’s ministry of celebrating life–God given life. When I look at the Duggar family I see a family that is living in the blessing. 10For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [a]recreated [...]
