Bill Nye the Science Guy! We checked out his videos from the library all the time when my boys were little (15 years ago!) and learned so much from them. But he rejects his Creator, and that’s tragic. It may appear to the secular world that this ignorance of the Creator actually helps advance science, […]
A reader writes: I have a question I wish you could help me address with biblical discernment–and that is the topic of “natural gender swaying” (viz. adjusting diet, timing of intercourse, etc. in order to conceive a baby of a certain gender). My husband and I have Christian friends who have used the Shettles Method […]
Walmart makes me feel weird. When I heard the hilarious Tim Hawkins crack a joke about how Walmart is like the bar scene in Star Wars, I got it. (And that’s sayin’ something. Ask anyone who knew me in college. I’m the one who started laughing 10 minutes after every joke.) You all know I […]
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert This week’s posts have touched on some hot button issues including higher education, vocation, and living “off the grid.” Unfortunately, there are no debate-ending proof texts on any of these issues that clearly tell us which choices are “the biblical ones.” In her post about college yesterday Natalie went after […]
Yesterday, in Country Mouse, City Mouse, I addressed whether or not ’tis more godly to live in the country than to live in the city, and I argued that the option MOST pleasing to God is a combination of the two. Obviously it’s The Burbs. Where I live. Because, of course, I always do what […]
I loved the conversation that occurred on yesterday’s post, Are We Persecuting Ourselves? And I liked the article Molly wrote too. She wasn’t trying to tell anyone what to do. She was raising good questions. Questions some of us want to mull over. I know that almost every single woman reading this blog runs in […]
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert “The serpent is more crafty than any of the beasts of the field. He attacks while retreating, retreating while attacking. He concedes this point, all the while making that point. He is both a tar baby and quicksilver. And we are fools for forgetting it.” –R. C. Sproul, Jr. During […]
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood This is Part Two of a two-part series. You can read Part One HERE. Please note: this review is not intended to convince anyone they should use A Beka. I certainly don’t believe it is the best choice for everyone. I simply want to share why we are using […]
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood I started homeschooling 17 years ago with my then 3-year-old son, Sam. This year I’m responsible for five children in grades 8, 6, 3, 2, and Kindergarten. We’ve tried lots of different curricula over the years, and I have always had a leaning toward the classical method of education. […]
Facebook Hissy Fits (and How to Avoid Them)
I love and hate Facebook. I love to use it for my business and this blog, and I love the handful of groups I participate in. But otherwise, I think it’s the pits. Just think about election season, for example. The season for “friends” and “followers” to put down the masks and start shooting. But […]
You’ve seen it. The arched back. The clenched fists. The scrunched up face. The flailing feet. The hideous shrieks of indignation. And all you wanted to do was put their shoes on so they could do what they wanted to do: go outside and play. They thought you wanted to torture them, because, you know, […]
Choosing Which Hills to Die On
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert This week’s posts have touched on some hot button issues including higher education, vocation, and living “off the grid.” Unfortunately, there are no debate-ending proof texts on any of these issues that clearly tell us which choices are “the biblical ones.” In her post about college yesterday Natalie went after […]
Potty Training: Mom of Nine Tells All
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Potty Training: A Necessary Evil I’ve been potty training for 16 years now (well, not me—but, you know—my kids) and have succeeded, during that time, in potty training four girls and three boys so far. I won’t tell you how much poop and pee I’ve cleaned up from walls, […]
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. We are currently expecting our fifth little treasure, and we are so grateful, and excited. And a little scared sometimes, too, haha. :) Our oldest is […]
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 […]
Medical vs. Natural Childbirth: A Personal Story
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. After googling it, I only found one other “voice” out there raising the question of whether or not it is a morally viable option for those who claim […]
