Seven Silly Things You Need To Know About Yourself—and Why
That’s right. I’m talking about Wemmicks again, but this time I thought I’d introduce them to those healthy folks over at Keeper of the Home. Come on over and find out seven silly things about us – and why we need to know them!
And by the way, I’m still looking for a good question from you for the Just Ask the Wemmicks series (which is one measly post so far. Hey. Every great thing has to start somewhere.) Do you have a question about mothering? Home schooling? How to make world class mac and cheese? Stick it in the comments section here OR send me a note via my contact page! (PULLEEAAASSSEEE! The Wemmicks are DESPERATE for a question! Surely you must wonder about SOMEthing? And of course, since the Wemmicks know it all – we can HELP YOU with that! So send us your questions NOW!

Here’s my question!
As we are aging and our parents are aging, how do we both honor them, care for them, and care for our families without wearing ourselves out? I am in my 50′s, homeschooling and both parents are failing in health…and I live next door to them…

I would give a resounding yes to Karen’s question and perhaps add to that with balancing needs with those of adult children and grandchildren!
I like the idea of the Wemmick stories. This is going on my Christmas list for my family this year.
Since I’m not familiar with the stories, my question may not be relative at all, but here goes nothing. How does a woman with goals of creating a sanctuary in her home for her husband and children go about establishing boundaries for people who aren’t family? For example, how do you show kindness to neighbors who seem to flounder in mischief or sin without causing your sanctuary and peace to unravel? Is the answer – avoid people who are involved in disfunctional family practices? My fear is that having these people in my home will introduce sins my children do not understand or that they may feel like I am alright with it.
GREAT questions! Thank you so much! These will go into the Wemmick Hopper and ALL be considered for future Wemmick posts.
(Keep ‘em coming, folks!)

I am new to reading your posts, but really like the perspective you have of the Christian life. My question is about homeschooling… What ‘style’ or ‘method’ did you find most fitting for a large family? Text books and strict schedules, casual lifestyle/interest lead learning, or something in between? Thanks!
Hi! My question is not really for the Wemmick thing, but if you personally have insight I would greatly value it. I have 5 children 7 and under. We live in a tiny house (4 rooms) that is a fixer we are currently remodeling. I sectioned off one end of the living room with a blanket to make a “bedroom” for the children. I am about to begin homeschooling in earnest with the older two and preschool with the middle child. I have been feeling very overwhelmed lately with keeping up and one day when all the children were with their dad and the baby was asleep, I got the kitchen nice and clean and thought, “why have I been so overwhelmed? This is easy and enjoyable!” Then the children reentered and within 10 minutes I was nearly back to where I started. I thought, “Oh, that’s why.” Every time I turn around there’s a disaster awaiting. I feel spread so thin! Where do I start, and how do I thrive vs survive these days?
