Here is the introduction to our newest God’s Girls Bible study, “Beauty Secrets.”
“I’ll help you,” Jenny Rose offered when the girl next to her dropped her book bag. Papers, books, a soggy sandwich, and enough pencils to pass out to the entire homeschool coop were scattered across the floor.
Good morning, Joyful and Successful Homeschoolers!
What a lovely day! I’m finally catching a breathe this week. Mondays are jam-packed with work at home–our biggest homeschool work day. Tuesdays, five families arrive at my house for USA History Co-op. What a fun, exhausting day. We talked about John Smith, Pocahontas, and Jamestown this week, but also the kings and queens of England from the War of the Roses until Charles II and how English history affected the colonization of the Eastern coast of North America. What fun! We are watching the Drive Thru History Videos in this class too! Boy, are they great! I should do a review on them….I love them all!

I just returned from Delaware where I visited my sister. Her birthday is today, so HAPPY Birthday, Julie!
When I got to her house, I kept noticing butterflies. I wondered if it was a blessing from the Lord to encourage us in our difficult time…we just lost our Daddy. But, within a day or two, I discovered that Julie had planted flowers specifically to attract butterflies. They were lovely in beautiful shades of purple, pink, yellow, and red. This led me to her lovely yard.
In Acts 17 Luke records that as the Apostle Paul was walking through the streets of Athens his heart was stirred by what he saw. What would he have seen? The Temple of Zeus … Temple of Mars (Ares) … Temple of Dionsysis. Seeing these false ideas of the culture motivated Paul to speak out.
What kind of company does a homeschool graduate start? A publishing company, of course! Daniel Mills, a homeschool grad, firmly believes that what we read forms our ideas and character. As a young man, he read two very old books, At Seneca Castle and Our Fellows. After reading them, he had a strong desire to republish them. Years later, Daniel decided to do just that!
