By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert I hate to admit it, but I am obsessed with health. That’s right. Obsessed. No, I’m not a vegan paleo triathlete or anything like that. My obsession has taken a different form. For the past twenty some-odd years I have been fixated on NOT caring about health. I am obsessed […]
This week some of our terrific contributors contributed…LINKS! Here are some articles on THEIR blogs that deal with this subject of HEALTH: You may think that pregnancy just wears you down, but did you know that in some ways, pregnancy actually contributes to good health? Find out how to make homemade chicken broth in a […]
By Contributing Writer, Tyanne The basic message of the prosperity gospel is this: Abundant faith in God will result in abundant material & physical blessings on this earth. Christian leaders like Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen, and T.D. Jakes are promising health, wealth, and happiness to all those who are able to generate enough faith, control […]
Written by Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood I originally jumped at the opportunity to review Good Mood, Bad Mood: Help and Hope for Depression and Bipolar Disorder by Charles D. Hodges, in hopes of gaining insights that could be applicable for people in my current life, as well as for any future contacts that may […]
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Paying the Price I’ve never really struggled with my weight. Oh sure, after a pregnancy I need to lose some serious poundage, but by the time each of my nine babies were one, I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 125 pounds. Nothing to complain about, and I’m […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell As our family was exposed more to real food through resources such as Nourishing Traditions and Sue Gregg, the easiest way I found to implement them into our daily meals was to plan it. Little by little our family menus changed to incorporate more real food, and as time has […]
Join me over at Keeper of the Home today where I share some opinions about a brand new book called Trim, Healthy Mama by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett.
By Contributing Writer, Jeannette Paulson I may envy George Washington his courage, perseverance and faith, but I do not envy him his medical care. I mean, blood letting for a sore throat…. I would prefer the illness to that cure, as Washington would have too–if he had lived! The writers of Examining Alternative Medicine urge […]
© flucas – Fotolia.com By Contributing Writer, Stephani Attempting to live a germ-free, completely sanitary, uncontaminated life is a naïve thought in the thick of a cold winter season – especially when family members leave home, later rejoin the family, and then accidentally share their newly-acquired germs! I live at home with my parents and […]

Joyfully Investing in Younger Siblings’ Education
By Contributing Writer, Stephani Upon graduation I had four younger siblings. Now I have six. Two of my sisters have graduated high school, another sibling is in junior high, and the three youngest are all under the age of 6! You guessed it… my parents will be homeschooling for years to come… Impacting the Next […]
Homeschooling: The Topic of Conversation
By Contributing Writer, Kelly Crawford I was driving, rather lost in thought, zoned by the double lines in front of me, when he asked the third question. “But how will they know?” I had probably answered his first two questions with a half-lying, “I don’t know”, the result of not really listening. “How will they […]
Homeschooling: It’s Never Too Late to Start
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell When Natalie shared that August’s topic would be homeschooling, I had concern as to what I could add or share about this month. Most of the contributors here are seasoned homeschooling parents or have been homeschooled themselves, while my experience is homeschooling one child…and not until he was in eighth grade. […]
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, Terry Covey There are countless methods, styles, and curricula for successfully teaching our children at home. And I could share some of those differing views, along with the benefits of various approaches, but just as I am prone to do, you might begin to question your own program or feel compelled to […]
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 […]
Hope in Christ, Not in Curriculum
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert August is an exhilarating month for me. I always look forward to the start up of our homeschool. By the time August rolls around all the school books have been bought, lesson plans are prepared, and the schedule has been tweaked. Nothing has happened—yet—to ruin my idyllic dreams that this […]
