Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
So often we homeschooling moms struggle to find time to nurture our relationships with our husbands. It’s hard to make time for our husbands when we’re so busy (and often so overwhelmed) with homeschooling, cooking, cleaning, and just trying to keep everyone fed and alive! That’s why we created two weeks of valentines for couples!…
My husband and I have been married for nearly 20 years. We will celebrate our 20th anniversary next fall with a trip to Italy. We have already lined up my parents to stay here with the kids in our home. We will also secure backup sitters just in case something goes wrong and they need…
Moms are busy. And it’s often on our busiest days that our houses get totally destroyed! Then our husbands come home from work and think, “What has she done all day?” without realizing how much effort it takes to just keep moving forward let alone get housework done. This made me think about what I…

When I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in 2000, I came face-to-face with my own mortality—and learned some profound lessons that transformed my view of reality. I would never sign up for my cancer experience, but neither would I trade away the treasures mined from it. Above all, I learned to live…
The typical stereotype of a homeschooling family doesn’t usually include parents who are madly in love with each other. Society portrays them as harried and exhausted people with no time for each other. Sadly, this picture is often true. Too few couples would describe their homeschooling marriage as “hot!” The strength of the marriage is…
Having been married for 27 years, I completely understand what they mean by “for better or worse.” Of course, the Better part is pretty easy. He’s so nice and you’re so respectful and it feels like life will always be sweet. To quote one of the greats, “Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder…

How would you describe the relationship you have with your spouse? Is it a healthy marriage? Or is it beyond strained because of the busyness of your life as a homeschooling mom? Is your marriage priority or does it get thrown to the sidelines while other commitments take the leading role? For myself, a homeschooler…
It was a beautiful fall day. We gathered together for a common purpose. As I stood beside the man I loved, I repeated these words: “For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.” I said “I do,” with all my heart. So what happened when…
