The Hag, The Ogre, and The Chocolate Cake Part 1 (August 1, 2005)
I was right. Undeniably, un-arguably, hands-down right. I don't exactly remember all the details on what I was right about, but I can tell you it had something to do with a Wal-Mart gift card that his parents gave me for my birthday, which he wanted to use for car accessories. And this was a big deal because I do not get to be that right that often. I imagine some background is necessary...
Motherhood: A Blessed Vocation (December 27, 2006)

You Can't Seriously Be Thinking of Homeschooling! (April 21, 2004)
Have you heard that question yet? When I first decided to homeschool, and friends, family, and acquaintances found out, I was amazed at how often that question was posed. And in many cases, before I could even try to formulate an answer, I was smacked with a barrage of serious cautions, or would get a raised eyebrow or condescending smile, or have my concerned questioner simply shake their head with sympathy for my poor, doomed children. It was maddening!

Meeting Our Children's Spiritual Needs (June 3, 2005)

The Importance of Being Fat (March 8, 2004)
I knew the conversation was unsalvageable when my son's opening sentence was, "Mom, now, I'm not saying that you're fat…" I looked down at him sitting next to me on the couch and raised an eyebrow. He does this all the time, and it's getting old...
The Spinners (November 21, 2005)
At the heart of most homeschoolers, we emphatically desire a life that keeps us OFF that dreadful merry-go-round. We have no desire to spin in circles. We chat about how sorry we are for those women who aren't ever around their families, and then we go home and busy ourselves in the home--not for the home--just in the home. Busy, busy, busy as we spin and spin and spin. Learn how you too can avoid the spin.
God Save The Queen (September 16, 2005)
I had been told that my husband was the head of the house and therefore it was his job to make me happy and secure. If I wasn't happy then he was doing something wrong. I had learned that a sour look, a forlorn sigh, the threat of bitterness or an outright raging tantrum would convince my husband to bow to my needs. And I had succeeded in generally getting my way. But what had I really achieved?
