Homeschooled Moms Homeschooling Our Next Generation
Like my sister-in-law Rosanna shared in her post last week, I too was inspired at the Teach Them Diligently Convention this year to take a closer look at how we center our homeschooling and our family around God’s word. Equipping our children for the battle that is currently being waged […]
Last month I shared five steps to start a homeschool co-op at So You Call Yourself a Homeschooler. This month, I’m sharing how to start a simple book club as a homeschool co-op based on my experience this past school year launching and running a girls book club with a handful […]
Welcome to “Ask a NextGen Homeschooler…“ It’s your turn to ask the authors of NextGen Homeschool — four formerly homeschooled moms who are now homeschooling our children — to weigh in on your homeschooling questions. From the practical to the personal, all questions are welcome — whether you’re a current […]
In my life this week… I completed the third week in a four-week weight-loss and exercise program at my local fitness studio, Hot Fitness. It’s a cross-training program with a nutrition component that requires a one-hour combined strength and cardio class four days per week, plus whatever optional classes I […]

As my sister-in-law Rosanna shared last week in her “Seven Key Take-Aways” post, we met up in Omaha last week to attend the last Teach Them Diligently Convention of this summer — and we both walked away with a message that had a much wider scope than homeschooling. For me, […]
I am not a morning person: Waking up early has never come naturally to me. But I’m convinced that God must be a morning “person” — and that He wants us to become morning people, too. I’ve fought the concept of morning devotions for many years and convinced myself that […]
The devastation in the United State’s Midwest region breaks our hearts. Oklahoma in particular is near and dear to us here at NextGen Homeschool because two of our authors (Rosanna Ward and Elizabeth Thomas) grew up and started their own families there, and we have family and friends who are […]
The concept of homeschool “co-ops” is to “cooperate” with one or more families to share any part of the homeschool educational process. They can be as simple as two families meeting together, or large and organized — and even publicly funded. When I was homeschooled in the late 1980s, there […]
