Hi, my name is Beth and I----am a homeschool blogger. I started a few short weeks ago and now, I just can't stop. There is just so much to read and so little time. So much knowledge to gain, not enough brain cells to retain it all(at least not in my head!). Although I am a tad addicted, I realize that the encouragement is worth it! For what it is worth, I came on to the HomeschoolBlogger site quite hesitantly. It's a whole new world to me, and being the utterly hopeless computer illiterate that I am, I have surprised myself. All I wanted to do was write, then I realized there is a whole community of sisters out there who truly want what is right and good for their families. And not only for their families, but also for the families of others who have gained hope, encouragement and help on their own homeschooling journeys. With that said, I wanted to share the top ten things I have discovered by joining the homeschool blogging community.
1.)You don't have to be perfect to successfully homeschool!
2.)You don't have to be a supermom to successfully homeschool!
3.) There are actually women out there who are just like me. What a thought!!
4.) If a woman with ten children can do it, I can do it!!
5.) If a woman with eight children can do it, I can do it!!
6.) If a woman with six children can do it, I can do it!!
7.) If a woman with...well you know.
8.) A little bit of encouragement goes a long way!
9.) Alot of laughter goes a VERY LONG way!
10.) Probably the most important thing I have learned is that I can be the woman, wife, mother, and friend that God wants me to be.
I learned this and more by plugging in to an exciting, heart and home site for women homeschooling everywhere! Thank you, and I will continue attending the HSBA meetings as I do not intend on giving up my "addiction" anytime soon!;-)

Leave a testimony













I love blogging here at HSB. Even though it spans around the world. It feels like a close small community. I love the friends I've made. I like reading about their homeschool and life experiences. I usually learn something or get a great idea for homeschooling from a blog. I enjoy sharing my life goings-on, too. Sometimes I blog too much, but I love it and I'm learning to blog in moderation.

Thanks for the opportunity,
Michelle

Prepare & Pray / Blessed Assurance Unit Studies

Overcomers Books & Supplies
POB 892 / Libby, MT 59923
866-526-7753 / info@prepareandpray.com


We love Unit Studies in our homeschool! What's not to love? Curriculum and teaching covered under one base topic that covers all subjects (we add a solid Math program in as well)! Prepare & Pray and Blessed Assurance are not just any Unit Study though! Based on the literary classic "Swiss Family Robinson" in Prepare and Pray and "Sign of the Beaver" and "Robinson Crusoe" in Blessed Assurance (these titles are family favorites!), these Units are full of fun and adventure, as well as academics and they include projects that are family friendly and useful!...

Chapter 11  by Sarah Cambell
We were all standing in the rain,people running past us as it poured even harder. I sighed and stared at the sky. "Any minute now.." I mumbled. When,suddenly,BAM!! Lightning struck and everything went black... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I sprung up and looked around,fully awake and excited. "YES! IT WORKED!" "Who are you?!?" I swung around and looked at the person who was talking to me. I grinned. "VEXEN!" He widened his eyes. "OOHH!!!" He tripped as he tried to run away and he got up and stumbled off into the darkness. I laughed and turned,but a sudden frown came upon me. "Guys? Where are (more)
Chapter 10  by Sarah Cambell
"Now,Sarah.." Rufus began. All their suitcases were packed and loaded with stuff. We sat in the bar. "Tell us about yourself." He finished. I sighed and walked back and forth. "Well,that's a story on it's own. I'd rather we not get into details." I sat back down. "Uhh...I wonder...is Leon around?" They all blinked. "Leon? Who's that?" Yuffie asked. I widened my eyes. "Who is THAT???? You mean,you guys don't know LEON?????" Reno shrugged. "Never heard o' him." I moaned and slapped my forehead. "Then,you guys don't even know about Genesis??? Or Tidus??? Or the Gullwings???? Or ANYBODY from the (more)
Chapter 9  by Sarah Cambell
I shifted,uncomfortably. "So.." I cleared my throat and twittled. Cloud Strife and Vincent Valentine were the first ones to arrive. They stood infront of me. I laughed,nervously. "Uhh......guys..........how's the weather?" Cloud blinked,but Vincent just gave that mysterious stare. I sighed and leaned back. "Ahh..Tifa!!!!!!" Tifa instantly peeked her head. "What?!" "Do you have soda?" Tifa glanced at her drinks. "No..." I sighed. "GAH! I NEED PEPSI!!!" I then started beating my head,back and forth,down on the table that was behind me. "Sarah!" Marlene called. I stopped. "Yeah?" "Come here,quick!!" I groaned and got up,running to her. Marlene was helping Denzel out (more)
Chapter 8  by Sarah Cambell
"And THAT'S when I was woken up,seeing you three's faces infront of my...FACE!" Kadaj had his fingers holding his chin,while he listened,intently,Yazoo and Loz standing beside him and listening,also. Tifa and Marlene were seated,listening to me talk. Kadaj looked down. "Hmm." He said,curiously. "I think you might have been taken here to maybe...save us?" I blinked and nodded. "Possibly..." I rose. "Maybe I was taken here to give you guys...a second chance? Maybe help you all to where nothing bad happens?" Loz and Yazoo stared at me. "Umm..sorry." Loz loudly apologized. I giggled. "That's ok,Lozie! I know you just were being (more)
Chapter 7  by Sarah Cambell
Indeed,I had! I remember all of this happening....oh,lord! Could I have effected the events to come? Well,Kadaj was suppose to be talking to Shinra...Yazoo was to get the children and Loz was to be fighting Tifa....I HAD!! I smacked my forehead out of nowhere,which made Tifa afraid of me even more. But Marlene seemed more interested than frightened. "How old are you,Sarah?" I smiled. "14. But I'll be 15 in a few days." I looked down. "But considering the timeline I'm in,that won't be for awhile...." Tifa rose. "Oh..I'm sorry. I thought you would be older. But you're only a (more)
Chapter 6  by Sarah Cambell
When they didn't answer me,I invited myself to see what they were looking at. When I saw,I realized it was Cloud's stuff! There was a small sleeping bag,a lamp,a plastic cup ontop of..I gasped. It was the cooler with the Materia! I immediately grabbed the cooler and held it close. They,all three,stood up and slowly walked upto me. Loz extended a hand,slowly. "Give the cooler back." I shook my head. "No! This is the stuff that gets you guys killed!" They all halted and looked at one another. I looked down. "Well,it might not be the exact cause,but it WAS a big part (more)
Chapter 5  by Sarah Cambell
My teeth sunk into the hot burger and I was instantly in heaven. It tasted SO good..food did. I did miss my parents and my family and my friends,who would all be freaking by now. I did wish they were there with me,because there was a slight chance that I couldn't get back to them. But even so,I was eating my burger while worrying,so I just took my stress out on it like a savage.  Loz stared at me like a Hawk,making me feel like I was doing a crime by eating a piece of meat. I blinked,my mouth full (more)
Pizza Roll Ups  by Katherine
Okay guys, Pizza Roll Ups are the most amazing thing you can possibly make with pizza toppings that isn't pizza. My mom used to make them all the time, but after she had a couple more kids she didn't have time. So yesterday I decided to make them, because after a long summer without baking, I felt like I needed to catch up. So I thought I'd give you guys the recipe. Dough: 2 1/2cups of flour 1 tbs of quick rise yeast 1/2 tsp of salt 1 cup of water 1/4 cup of vegitable oil set aside 1 cup of the flour and then mix the (more)
Chapter 4  by Sarah Cambell
Well,I am guessing that they wanted to keep a good eye on me,cause they all went with.  I sighed and shook my head as Loz turned roughly and skid his way around. Well,I wasn't too excited about seeing the same old dark wasteland,but once I saw Midgar,I was jumping on the seat. Loz glanced down at me. "Hey! Knock that off!" I laughed and tightened up. "Sorry,Loz. Didn't mean to.." But I couldn't help it! I was SOO excited! So,I guess I kinda tricked the little men cause once we were to get near 7th Heaven,I would drag them all to (more)

I stared at his hand and grinned. "Well..I don't know...I mean..let's see..since I am only a mere human and I am kinda dis-armed right now..there's a 100% chance I will die. So..maybe next time,bub." His face dropped and he put his hand back,clearing his throat,while he pulled his zipper up. "Yeah,maybe next time.." He murmured. I crossed my arms. "So,you guys got anything to eat?" They looked at one another and stared at me. "Uh...no." Loz dumbly answered. I sighed. "Well,I need something to eat,because my body requires food to survive. Is there a Red Robin or an Arby's around,perhaps? Or maybe Five (more)
Mandatory Family Craft Time  by HappyApple
I'm usually excited about Thanksgiving each year. Family, friends, fun and fabulous food is something to look forward to.  This year it's not the same. It may be because I haven't focused on the what to do's and what to makes.  The only thing we've done around here is started Thanksgiving journals. Maybe over the weekend I'll get more excited about the whole thing. I could make some pumpkin bars and some eggnog bread.. that might help my mood. I think we'll do a family craft together. We've done one when my eldest two where younger. Now that I have (more)

"Where did you come from?" Yazoo barked. I stared at him. "Earth..." Loz turned his head at me. "So,you're from this planet?" I shook my head. "No. I'm from..another Earth..." I couldn't take my eyes off of Yazoo,since he was just staring me down. "Are you willing to help us or are you against us?" Kadaj suddenly asked me. I glanced at him. "Umm..neither." I was about to say,but I remembered what Treebeard from Lord of the Rings had said. And I simply copied him. "I am on nobody's side because nobody is on my side." They all stared at (more)
Chapter 1  by Sarah Cambell
I smiled as my mom handed me the last of the brownies. "Thanks,Mom!" I cheered,as I ran off upstairs. I slammed my door opened,which had tons of posters and such of Characters and a pink paper that read; "WARNING! You are about to enter a Character-Obsessed,Movie-Making,crazy,wild and playful girl's bedroom------You have been warned" ;I skipped to my computer and went on to my Final Fantasy blog. I smiled when seeing Kadaj's picture. Sooooo cute. But enough of that!  I did what I wanted and checked it on my To-Do List. I arose and ran to see out the window. It was (more)
Best answer to the socialization question EVER!  by Beth
Click here to read some thoughts on homeschoolers and socialization.  I think Mrs. Parunak is spot on, well put!   I couldn't help but think of the upcoming "Black Friday" shopping event in which our country's adults get to display the social skills they learned as children from their peers.  I sincerely hope there are no casualties this year.  As for me, I'll be home safe, eating leftovers and maybe doing a little online shopping.  Go ahead, call me anti-social!   (more)
Congratulations!
