Homeschooling provides such amazing benefits to your children and to your family. We are blessed with the joy of really knowing our children well, identifying and honing their unique gifts and talents, choosing educational products that suit their particular learning style and our particular teaching style, spending time together, learning together, growing up together and becoming a true family that enjoys one another's company. Yet, in spite of all these blessings, we sometimes experience apprehension, confusion, and weariness. I pray the pages here will be an oasis for you, to lift you up out of the difficulties and into the terrific blessings of being a homeschool mom.

On the left, you can navigate your way through the many articles, information, and products that I have to help you successfully homeschool your children.

Know His Word

Are you looking for a devotional to use with your kids? Perhaps your older students are ready to get deeper in the Word and begin reading their Bible with comprehension, making their faith their own. Know His Word will bring the meat of the Word to students ready for more of God in their lives. This series will cover each book of the New Testament in a commentary format, with life application. It will be used as a read-aloud for families, or a personal study for older students. More information about publication dates and a sample will be available soon. Sign up for my newsletter to get the latest news on this exciting new series.

Homeschool Havyn

"Encourage one another daily..." Hebrews 3:13

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 1 Thes 5:11

We all need to be continually encouraged.

Homeschooling, though infinitely rewarding, requires a great deal from the homeschooling parent. This journey is not always an easy one. The road takes us through beautiful terrain, but it is uphill most of the way. We must have encouragement - reminders of why we are traveling this road, inspiration to keep going, and courage to persevere in the face of the difficulties that arise. We need support to travel the rocky roads, the steep inclines, and the rushing rivers we will have to cross. So that at journey's end, we'll enter the promised land with shouts of joy and singing.
