My oldest G-Son is into playing Fortnite. He just started getting into it lately. We were alright with it; however, he does not want to do anything else. NOTHING! He wants to spend all day in his room with his head in the game. He uses a projector for a TV, so he keeps the …
Should Kids Do Chores?
Should kids do chores? Should they have responsibilities? Or should they just be a kid and have fun all day? Well my quick answer to all the questions above is a big fat...YES! My G-Sons do daily chores, all four...If I cook, then Krystal washes the dishes. Yes, we still wash dishes by hand, we …
De-Schooling So Far
If you are following me on my "Blog' journey, you read my post on De-Schooling and how important this step is to de-program from the public school. It is for them to forget they have to learn. De-Schooling allows them time to want to learn! I want the boys to enjoy learning, I want them …

To Homeschool or Not to Homeschool?
So, I have been wanting to homeschool my two older grandsons for quite sometime now...I would bring it up randomly with Krystal from time to time. I think I started thinking about it when Collin got bullied on the school bus. He must have been 8 or 9 and was sitting on the bus when …
