We’re picking up where we left off last week with Jo Dee Messina. It was the first part of a two-part conversation that continues right now! If you missed it, don’t worry! You can go back and listen to it here. Last week, I talked to Jo Dee about her life’s journey through country music and coming to faith in Christ. Now, we’re talking about songs and song writing. You may have heard some of the songs we discuss, like “Bigger Than This,” “Reckless Love,” “Heaven Was Needing a Hero,” and a duet she sang with Tim McGraw. But music isn’t all we talk about! Jo Dee also shares the best piece of advice that she’s ever received and now...

And homeschoolers who are newer to the game obviously have lots of questions! I wrote a series some time ago that attempted to answer some of the questions homeschoolers ask each other. Questions about how we handle some of the little details and about our opinions on different aspects of homeschooling. Questions that we all might answer differently because what works great in one family might not work at all in another.  It's time for a new round of How Do You Homeschool articles. Some will be...

We have a wide variety of game players in our house right now. My eleven year old is currently having a bit of a moment with Exploding Kittens, but with him we can get away with games that can be high on intensity and comprehension. Our nine year old will join in with most things, while our five year old loses interest in most things! This summer, Funko released a whole range of games that cater to this need, with some great offerings for those in pre-K and early elementary years. Hidden Mickeys is one of a number of games that came out recently under their “Babysitter Approved” line. Meaning that a babysitter can walk in and play the game...

Learning a foreign language does not have to take place in a classroom in the modern world. Image from theverge.com With a mobile app in your hands, you may learn anyplace, time, anywhere at. When you’ve been looking for one, you’ll probably certainly come across Duolingo, a free language learning app (also paid version). In this article, I’ll explain why Duolingo won’t help you learn a language in just five minutes a day. What about it? Since if you learn for 5 minutes every other day for 2 weeks, the number of languages you acquire per day is the same as the number you lose each day, and you will not make real headway.
