My husband measures and weighs the children each year down in the basement and marks it on the concrete wall so they can see how they've changed. At first, I'm really curious about the numbers, but it inevitably leads to worry, and I know I'm not alone. It's very natural for us to be concerned when our children grow slowly or lag far behind their peers. Four of my younger children are small for their age. They always have been. We're talking kids that are lucky to reach the 5th percentile. Continue Reading

I have a box with all the cards my husband has given me on Valentine's Day and for our anniversary. Unfortunately, the modern mentality seems to be "who has time for that?" But what if you could have someone else print, stamp and mail Continue Reading

I'd like to share with you what's worked best for us after many years of homeschooling, and introduce you to a fun little helper as well!
