    Homeschool project: Twitter

    November 5, 2013 / No Comments

    I’ve been a homeschooling mom for going on three years now. When you walk into our house, you can tell we homeschool. We don’t have a decorating scheme or layout in our living area as much as we have a classroom. There are massive maps stuck to the walls and print outs of memory verses all around the house. We have globes and binders and notebooks….oh my! One of the things we have in our living room that always intrigues people is our twitter board.   I adapted it from something I found on Pinterest.  It’s really easy to do and the kids enjoy posting their thoughts. (And no, I…

    Back to School! Um…wait. I Homeschool.

    August 13, 2013 / No Comments

    Summer’s over! Time to get back to school! For those in public or private school, uniforms are being purchased and supplies are sitting in nice orderly stacks just waiting to be used. Right now they’re neat and tidy – not a mark out of place. No torn covers or bent pages. Those crayons and pens and notebooks have worlds of untapped possibilities. It’s exciting! But I homeschool, so things are different now. Instead of rainbows of crayons and colors, my get back to school involves plotting schedules and choosing curriculum. The organized and savvy homeschooling parents have already chosen their curriculum and many of them are already into their school…

    Review: Real-Life Devotional Bible for Women: Insights for Everyday Life by Lisa Terkeurst

    June 24, 2013 / 1 Comment

    NIV Real-Life Devotional Bible for Women: Insights for Everyday Life by Lisa Terkeurst Reviewed by: Lori Twichell Genre: Non-Fiction Publisher: Zondervan Publication Date: Mar 19th, 2013 My life is really busy. It’s chaotic, full of crazy and very often, it’s hard to find peace. I’ve also had many, many Bibles throughout my lifetime. I’ve had study Bibles and women’s Bibles and small ones and big ones and…you get the picture. The Real Life Devotional Bible for Women stepped out of the mold for me. Short, creative devotionals are peppered throughout this Bible – enough for someone to have a new devotional daily (as the title says) and they are wonderful.…

    Iron Man is Swimming in My Lemonade Part 3: Homeschooling Lessons – Curriculum!

    May 13, 2013 / No Comments

    If you’ve been following my recent posts, you’ll know that I’m sharing some lessons that I’ve learned while I’ve been homeschooling. (Iron Man is Swimming Part 1 and Iron Man is Swimming Part 2)  Today’s topic has been one of the biggest learning curves for me and our whole family as we’ve gone through this process. Curriculum. We’ve used several different styles of curriculum during the course of our homeschooling years and with each one, we’ve learned something that we take with us to the next one. The first year we did an ‘online’ curriculum that promised us virtual classrooms with very little need for parental involvement. For this newbie…

    Iron Man Is Swimming in My Lemonade Part 2: More Homeschooling Lessons

    May 10, 2013 / No Comments

    Yesterday I started a short series about homeschooling with “Iron Man is Swimming in My Lemonade.”  Today I’m talking about a few more lessons learned in my homeschool journey. Calendar: Public schools are required to complete all of their curriculum standards within a 180 day window. That’s about six months give or take holidays and snow days and such. This seems like a lot of time, but really – it’s not.  In our lessons, we chose to take some extra time on some subjects and topics. We found that a lot of things were glossed over or missed in fundamentals, so we spent more time there. But the biggest thing we…

    Iron Man is Swimming in My Lemonade or: What Homeschooling Has Taught Me

    May 9, 2013 / No Comments

    Recently, while talking to a good friend about homeschooling, she told me that I should write a book about it. I admit that I laughed out loud. I’m definitely not qualified to tell anyone how they should homeschool! The first few days of working with all three kids at home were absolutely insane for me. At one point I wondered if I’d made a huge mistake when, between school lessons and conference calls for my business, my son brought me a huge decorative margarita glass. It was full of lemonade and an Iron Man action figure appeared to be doing the backstroke in it. I thought for sure at that point…
