Welcome to Beautiful Family Friday! Today I’m sharing about a family field trip that we took last weekend. Be sure to link-up your best posts below! Homeschool Field Trips Last Saturday we went to the 2013 Homeschool Day at the New Market Battlefield hosted by Home Educators Association of Virgina. This is always a very [...]
I’m 39 weeks pregnant and trusting in the Lord’s timing for Amelia Elaine to officially join us. I had an ultrasound this week to check her weight. I always have big babies. My midwife said she believes that the Lord anointed me for child-birth. I agree. At this point Miss Amelia measures at 40 [...]
For sometime now I’ve wanted to change the title “Big Family Friday” to “Beautiful Family Friday,” especially since I refer to my big family posts as Big{beautiful}Family. So, welcome to the NEW Beautiful Family Friday Link-up! This site will be redesigned (new make-up in January, and there will be new pretty graphics made then. Until [...]
So…wanna know what I’ve done? Here I am, very pregnant, walking little Liam to Grandmother’s barn to feed the horses. I wanted to say a quick HELLO and thank you. I’ve received so many kind emails and messages wondering where in the world is Jamerrill? The short version is the kiddies and I had a [...]
Some days during homeschool I am brave and catch frogs. There are days when I teach Elmo how to read the Bible. My brother and I like to color trains during homeshool. Many days during little boy homeschool I play with trains. When I get rowdy Mommy takes me for a walk to the pond. [...]

I {Heart} My Dry Erase Board For several years we’ve had a dry erase board that hangs on our living homeschool room door (it hung on the door even before it was our schoolroom). This board is my secret weapon in family management. I realize I have a few scared readers with my [...]
Grace. Apply it by the gallon. Flexibility. Homeschooling needs to be covered in it. I’ve homeschooled while working full-time outside of the home for three years until the Lord called me home. We’ve homeschooled through my husband’s unemployment. And we’ve had 3 additional babies since “officially” beginning our homeschool journey. We’ve homeschooled in [...]
Jadin is twelve. Ack, I can’t believe that my baby is twelve! Staring at his big feet while on a long road trip last summer inspired me to write Why Homeschool: The Gift of Time. He’s now about 6-inches taller than me. My hubby is 6 foot 6, and I’m all of 5 foot 3, [...]
We haven’t always had a homeschool room. And, please, don’t think that school rooms are a mandate for a successful homeschool. It really is dependent on what works best for your family dynamics; even those fluctuate based on various needs and seasons. My dream has always been to create a living homeschool room; an engaging [...]
