Using Your Gifts to Serve Your CC Community

Using Your Gifts to Serve Your CC Community

Having tutored every class from Abecedarian all the way to Essentials, I was ready for a break. I knew this would be our last year in Foundations, and I wanted to make it count. We’ve been having a focus at our church this year on discovering your spiritual gifts and the best ways to use them to serve your community. They gave us free access to an online spiritual gifts test, and I wasn’t super…

🎉It’s Practicum season! 🎉 Early on in my #cc journey, I didn’t look forward to Practicum as much as I do now. These days, I *SO* look forward to Practicum every year and seeing all of our local communities come together for a day of fellowship and training about the classical model of education. Even though I only see some of these moms once a year, I know they are faithfully walking the same path as me and it reminds me that I am not alone. Last year we weren’t able to meet in person, so I was super grateful that we were able to be together this year. Together is better! #practicum #ccpracticum #classicalconversations #community #communitysupport #togetherisbetter #grateful @classical_conversations https://www.instagram.com/p/COvCda6pq5m/?igshid=1n7vjceqmrigl

How to Deal with Homeschool Haters and Other Unwanted Advice

How to Deal with Homeschool Haters and Other Unwanted Advice

“Negative, why always so negative?“Lyrics from “Nothing to Worry About” by Peter Bjorn & John Do you have a person (or people) in your life who are just negative about almost everything? I do. I’ll admit, I’m not the most optimistic person in the world. I struggle with bouts of negativity, too. But there’s something about being around a person who is almost always negative that just drags your…

I lost my grandmother to #covid_19 in 2020. She gave me this Bible in 1996 for my high school graduation, along with a beautiful matching bookmark that she signed for me. I recently pulled it out and I’m rediscovering the beauty of the language of of the #KJV version. I couldn’t appreciate it when I was younger, but I do now. #bible #psalms #psalm13 #morningdevotion #prayer #cc #classicalconversations #classicalhomeschooling #kjvbible https://www.instagram.com/p/COSqxdPlJGU/?igshid=8pom816wemt2

Why I Love TreeRing for Yearbooks

Why I Love TreeRing for Yearbooks

Since the very first year of our community, we’ve used TreeRing as our yearbook solution to document and capture all of the special events and candid moments that happen around here. Our Director chose wisely, because we LOVE our TreeRing yearbooks! It is a (bittersweet) blast to look back at them all of these years later. We still have 6 years of yearbooks to look forward to, and every year I…

Why We Chose Classical Conversations

Why We Chose Classical Conversations

Long before my husband and I considered having children, we were avid podcast fans of several apologetics ministries including Stand to Reason, Reasons to Believe, Reasonable Faith, and J. Warner Wallace of Cold Case Christianity. We listened as we worked in our home office, both strengthening our faith and learning how to defend it. As Greg Koukl of STR spoke one day, he described the kind of…

When Darkness Creeps In

When Darkness Creeps In

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made through Him. Without Him, nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and His life was the light of man, and the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God whose name was John, this man came for a…

Why Sand & Stick?

Why Sand & Stick?

Sand & Stick – these are the two words that I chose to represent my new blog. It’s tough to come up with a blog name. You want it to reflect what the blog will be about, and it needs to be short and simple to remember. It needs to be available not only as a domain, but also on other social media that will link to your website to remain consistent. Yikes! That’s a lot to think about at one…
