Parenting in Real Life – A Story from Our Recent Move

January 27, 2016 - lexihenegar Leave a comment

When You Need a Homeschool Review Year

December 14, 2015February 17, 2017 - lexihenegar 4 Comments

Do you take review years in your homeschool? We do! There is no shame in taking some time to review. Some years you just need to backtrack and work on important skills.

October 28, 2015August 30, 2018 - lexihenegar 2 Comments

  I was the center of attention and the topic of conversation at the park today. And it wasn’t in a good way. In fact, I was living one of my parenting nightmares. You know all those things that you say you’ll never, ever do as a parent? Those behaviors that your future children willRead more
