COVID19 Quarantine: Staying Sane with Around-the-Clock Kids – Part 1
The coronavirus, COVID19 quarantine and restrictions may have you less worried about germs, but perhaps now you’re concerned about how you’ll stay sane with around-the-clock kids. About twenty years ago, I wondered the same thing—obviously not about the Coronavirus, but when I first considered homeschooling, I wondered if I’d be able to keep my sanity if I hung out with my kids twelve to sixteen hours a day.

Homeschool Science Curriculum for “Non-Science” Students

A Forever Family Via Foster Care – by Cecil Stokes
This week, I'm excited to present to you, "A Forever Family Via Foster Care" by Cecil Stokes. When researching articles on adoption this year, I came across the Boone & Me ministry. I had heard Cecil speak at the Blue Ridge Christian Writers Conference several years ago. I was aware of some of his great work, especially as the producer of one of my favorite movies, October Baby.

There are numerous books and movies with elements of adoption in them. When we adopted, the adoption agency gave us a list of books pertaining to adoption. However, since that was over fifteen years ago, several of the books are dated and a few are even out of print. So, I’ve created a new list. I’d love to hear your suggestions as well. In addition to the books, there are also several entertaining and touching movies with components relating to adoption. Whatever you’re looking for, here’s a list to get you started.
