Putting Together Your Highschool Transcripts

To any homeschoolers in 9th, 10th, 11th grade – START NOW!

Your best choice is to create your own form using several examples. My favorite example can be found here. My mom and I created one kind of like this using Microsoft [...]

The College Puzzle

As most of my regular readers have probably noticed, I’ve been kind of infatuated with St. Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana. Oh yeah, I’m not one of those teenagers who can’t decide where they want to go, who cringe when they see a college pamphlet coming in the mail, because it means one more choice….naw. I’m [...]

The Annunciation Of Our LORD

Over 2000 years ago, there was a young girl called Mary. She was betrothed, but not married, to a man named Joseph.
An angel, having taken the figure and the form of man, came into the house and spoke to her, saying; “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.” Mary did not speak; she [...]

He suggested Calf Manna.
Calf Manna adds protein to Dusty’s diet, helping weight and muscle gain. I feed about 1 1/2 lbs. a [...]

Debunking the Homeschooling Myths

“You’re so lucky you’re homeschooled!”
“Why?”
“Oh, you can sleep in all moring, play video games when ever you want, watch TV all day, stay in your PJs all day, spend all day with your horses…”
Or the other half, whispering to my mom -
“Aren’t you worried they won’t be socialzed?”
Or whispering to each other -
“I hear homeschoolers just [...]

Gas Free America

Gas prices are driving us ALL up the wall. Here in Illinois, gas jumped from $4.17 to $4.35 overnight! {{EDIT – July 16th, 7:31 pm – now it’s back down to $4.17. **SIGH** }}
So why DOES gas cost so much?

There’s less oil to be [...]
