The occult has always focused on gory images of violence, death and destruction. We see it in today’s media, music, and movies. As people become desensitized to occult violence and horror, the images in popular entertainment grow increasingly and indescribably evil.

Death Makes a Holiday: Halloween
While we are teaching our children to study, research, and write, we need to remember that they are establishing and perfecting tools that they will one day use to God’s glory, depending on their unique, individual talents. Homeschoolers sometimes get so wrapped up in academics they forget the one needful thing. Remember the story of Mary and Martha Martha was very busy with preparations as Mary sat at the feet of Christ.

One Needful Thing
It’s the thing that no one likes to talk about, the dirty little secret that plagues a good number of us homeschoolers. We don’t dare say it out loud to the “You’re Not Qualified to Teach” crowd, in fact you’ve been avoiding those people for some time now. I am talking about getting behind. I’m talking about that time in your life that finds you having to pick up and move, or maybe you’ve been through a divorce, a death, or illness, overcommitments, too many activities outside the home, a new baby, financial woes, or just simply good old fashion depression. Slowly but surely you’re taking off days weeks or months longer than you ever planned. It happens. Maybe not to all of us, but it does happen. You scramble to catch up, finish that textbook, skipping lessons or even subjects that aren’t as important, schooling year round to “catch up.” Structure and discipline are important, but don’t forget to allow imperfections and life interrupted. Before I go any further, I should say that I live in a home school friendly state , meaning we are considered a private school, there are no tests we have to submit, no forms to turn in. We are pretty much left alone, free to teach our children at home

Beef Up Your Homeschool with the Internet & Scrapbooking
I was driving in Madison (outskirts of Nashville, TN) and saw two Halloween stores within a few blocks. Stores devoted to Halloween! In between the two was a Party Story decked out with monsters and skeletons

Last week, my husband was helping me teach math to our boys. He made a remark about how they were both struggling with multiplication. You can imagine how that went over.

By Victoria Boutenko Published in Green Smoothie Revolution For decades dietitians have been educating the public about the multiple benefits of greens, but it was not clear how to incorporate fresh greens into everyone’s daily diet. The only option for eating greens seemed to be the salad.
