Hey Mama,
Here are some articles from the magazine that will help you add hands-on learning to your homeschool:
“Hands-on Writing in Units is Unforgettable” – Jessica Hulcy
“Hands-on Learning Through 4-H” – Sonya Brouillette
“Learning that Lasts” – Hal and Melanie Young
Is there too much noise in your house? Remember, all this NOISE will some day be crickets chirping. We will long for the days these kids fell asleep in our arms, or rubbed their sweaty hot faces in our hair as they snuggled with us, or came bounding up to us when we walked through the door.
Bloom where you are planted. Right now the Lord has you here, for this season, right now. Love the “now.” Because later you will long for the “used to be.”

Did you know? Every class is INCLUDED for members! No limits!
Are you a hands-on planner? I am. While some people comfortably keep their To Do lists and commitments stored neatly in a compartment of their mind, I can’t function that way. Just the act of writing down what I have to do relieves a tiny bit of the stress of needing to do it (until I look at the length of my list, but that’s another matter!).
I use a combination of old-fashioned print and modern technology. I have lists and notepads beside my keyboard and spreadsheets open on the laptop in front of me. Maybe you are the same way. Maybe you like the convenience of storing information on your computer but also need the ability to write down notes or take your schedule with you offline.
The new digital Schoolhouse Planners are here!
Type your information directly onto the calendar and save it to your computer or print the pages you need and take them with you anywhere. Either way, you’ll have hundreds of pages of forms and templates to choose from.
From now through July 4th, you can purchase the digital Schoolhouse Planners for 50% off. But are you ready for even better news? All SchoolhouseTeachers.com members get all five digital planners FREE after one month of membership. (Did we mention there is a sale on to join, too?)
If you join SchoolhouseTeachers.com during our 19 Gifts sale, not only will you save money (regular price $12.95 a month), you will lock in your membership at this price for as long as you maintain your membership (see site for details). Plus, you’ll receive all 5 digital planners FREE after your first month and you’ll receive 19 special free gifts from our vendors. Hurry-the 19 Gifts sale offer expires July 21, 2014.

“I look forward to THM every Wednesday. I really enjoy Deborah’s articles. For some reason, it must be God, she always writes about what I am needing to hear. Her ability to put scripture and God in the middle of all her articles keeps me coming back. I recently have been enjoying the Youngs’ [articles] because I have a young man (10) in my house. The encouragement of the Youngs is fabulous. I thank God for parents like them that pave the way for parents like myself and my husband.”

“Thanks ever so much. I love the encouraging articles! I really loved the list of 25 all in one place. Nice to have this little bit of “free” encouragement in my mail. I don’t have funds to subscribe or purchase frills and with also working more than half time I don’t have time to search it out. May God bless you exceedingly.”
