We will be posting all month at NextGen Homeschool about some of the things we are personally thankful for, and when we do, the post will include a link-up at the bottom so you can share posts of your own on the topic of thankfulness. If you don’t blog, no…
In recent years, many people have participated in a “30 Days of Thanks” challenge on their blogs or social media by expressing gratitude for at least one thing every day in November. At NextGen Homeschool, we’re going to take on this challenge together, and we’d love for you to join…
There’s been a lot of sparring in the social media world this month about what a Christian should or shouldn’t do on Halloween. Personally, I’ll be glad when the opinions are put to rest for another 11 months — although in my neck of the woods, the local school board…
When you are faced with major decisions regarding your homeschooling, your family, your own personal role and relationships, seeking God’s direction can seem very challenging. Even your daily decisions can get bogged down with the opinions and advice of others, self doubt, and conflicting messages from our culture. We spend…
When it comes to Autumn inspiration, the scenic mountains of Colorado and Aspen groves turning into blankets of pure gold never fail to take my breath away. One of my family’s most treasured Autumn traditions is taking fall foliage hikes in the high country. This year, the trees are just…

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…
Imagine a convention center full of like-minded homeschoolers, encouraging speakers, discount curriculum and qualified specialists to help equip you for your homeschool journey… It’s not too good to be true! Teach Them Diligently is bringing a unique homeschool experience to seven more locations this summer! The Teach Them Diligently Marketplace…

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,…
