Wow! It’s So Practical!

My family has been reading SUCH a good book after breakfast in the mornings. It is Bob Schultz’ book entitled, Created for Work — subtitled, “Practical Insights for Young Men.” Someone in our church recommended this to my son-in-law, and I’m so glad they did. I think I had vaguely heard of Bob Schultz’ work […]

Minutes Saved….

School is in, and I am finding that I need to tighten things that I have let slip over the summer. Perhaps some of you are finding the same thing. One of the areas that always trips us up is the constancy of food preparation. Choosing what to have for each meal is a mind-draining […]

Learning to Carry On

As the time for starting school came nearer, each year, I would usually have one of two feelings that would assail me. I always looked forward to summer, and to the lifting of that schedule that had become to feel more like a straitjacket. But, after a summer of “freedom”, I really looked forward to […]

A Good Thing….

One of the things that I greatly disliked, and STILL have trouble with, is the feeling of being pressured. Part of that is because I am a naturally lazy person, and have always looked for opportunities to slide into a chair and read. One of my daughters takes after her grandmother, who described herself as […]

Flying Days!

Well, it’s happened again — a summer is rapidly slipping away, and I’ve still lots to accomplish before it is over. Thoughts like that have me hyper-ventilating when I wake up, and I need even more the blessed grace of the Lord to calm me down. MY summer has been packed, and when I say […]

Cousins Camp

This coming week is the 7th Annual Cousins Camp for the Trice family. So, don’t expect much from me next week! It always seems to involve a family reunion, too, because my daughter from Phoenix comes in, with her four kiddoes, and everyone wants time with Mike and Jenni. Cousins Camp is one of the […]

Good Books!

I am reading a book now that was published in 2008, but that was not on my radar then. I am speaking of Alex and Brett Harris’ book called, Do Hard Things. My kids were grown, and I read the blurb about it and thought, “How nice!”…..but felt like it was addressed to teens, and […]

Your Future Joys….

Dear Friends, Sometimes when I am talking to discouraged mothers — and, let’s face it, we are ALL discouraged from time to time, and some of us more than others — I want to show them their future. Of course, I can’t do that, but I can show you the “future” that has happened to […]

GRHE History

As one of your hosts on this blog, I’d like to introduce myself. I am a mother of six — home schooled for 19 years. We started in 1981, when I knew only two other families were home-schooling — one in Franklin County and one in Roanoke. I’m sure there were more here, but it […]

We’re Up and Running…..

Dear GRHE Moms, Years ago — in the home schooling Dark Ages — one of the main problems was finding other home schoolers to expose our children to, and to be creative with, etc. Well, that problem is long gone! The new problem is in finding time to do all the things now available for […]
