By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey “Friends with my children?! But I’m their teacher, guide, and caretaker. They’ll lose respect.” I know. This topic can be confusing. One that can’t be encompassed in a quick post or a tip of the day. But, as our children learn and grow to adulthood and our responsibilities lessen, it […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey When considering the most important lessen I’ve learned in home educating for the last 22 years, I must revisit the reality that it’s not about academics. “Yikes,” some of you are saying! Don’t fret. Those are important, but the most important lesson we teach our children is how to think. […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey The topic of babies spurs much passion with women who love family and are—well—passionate about raising children for the glory of God. Babies have always been a huge part of my life. I became an aunt at the age of twelve, began my own journey of bearing ten children at twenty, […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey Life’s Early Lessons It’s an awesome thing to consider that God cares about our children even more than we do! And part of that care is the clear instruction in His Word for us parents on the relationships our children will have in life. A huge part of parenting is […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey Do you have the right personality for home management? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Have you ever felt like you just weren’t cut out for all this cleaning, organizing, maintenance, and more? I can relate! It took me ten years of home management to realize that I just […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey “And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:2) Charity And Its Fruits If you’re a Christian, you’re familiar with the Love chapter: 1 Corinthians 13. […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey I’m sure that as wives and mothers, you’ve all thought about health and nutrition. You think about it for your family and understand that it’s your job to help them achieve health. But do you find it easy, and sometimes necessary, out of time constraints and energy level, to put […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey A Variety of Suffering This month’s topic on suffering makes me feel a bit odd writing about menopause. There is the intense suffering that comes from the loss of a loved one, such as in the Connecticut shootings. And I have watched several family and friends deal with the incredible […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey Well, we’ve entered into this holiday season full swing! Isn’t it odd that the word ‘holiday’ is something we Christians are almost afraid to say? But it’s root is ‘holy day’! A day set aside to remember our God. Our family enjoyed the beauty of Thanksgiving with 20 family members around our table, […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey Let’s Start With The Negatives We’re all used to getting advice that offers us a quick answer–the “positives” to work towards. We grasp at them like there’s no tomorrow! “Just tell me what to do and I’ll finally be….” Yet perhaps it is best to begin at the very beginning – […]

Help! Pregnancy is Making My Body Fall Apart!
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood I received the following e-mail recently: My husband and I are in the long slow process of changing our thinking about family size.

Ten Criteria for Choosing Homeschool Curriculum
By Contributing Writer, Bambi Moore This is the time of year that I’m cleaning out closets, donating or swapping books with other homeschool moms, and also making purchases. As homeschoolers we are blessed to have so many options out there, but what works for one family may not work for another. Also, there are so […]
Demystifying the Institute for Excellence in Writing
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) Home educating mothers tend to be overwhelmed by two subjects in particular. Science and writing. OK. Upper level math too. Since I’m not much of a left-brained gal, I won’t be writing any posts about dead animal dissections or the wonders of […]
By Contributing Writer, Carmon Friedrich 25 years. We are coming up on that many years of homeschooling our children. Almost a quarter century! That’s not long enough to consider ourselves pioneers in this endeavor, but it does mean we have “seen it all” minus the persecution of the brave folks who forged a path that […]

Breakfast for six. Wipe four small faces and eight small hands. Wash dishes. Stop to nurse the baby and change two more diapers. […]

By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Twenty years ago I was pregnant with our first baby and determined to have a mid-wife and experience pregnancy and birth in the most “natural” way possible. Nineteen weeks into the pregnancy I began to spot a little. Since I could feel the baby moving and had no […]
Eating the Placenta: A Christian Worldview Perspective
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Placentophagy, the practice of eating the placenta after giving birth, is a subject of some interest among Wemmicks these days.
