The dinner table is an opportunity to talk with our kids but so often everyone is tired and unless I am intentional about conversation things slide all too quickly.  I try and take one idea, one conversational topic to the table incase I need to direct things.  My daughter , Jessica, sent me this link this week:  how to have better dinner conversations.  I think there are some great tips in there regardless of how old our children are.

Our family has a little saying, “Google is your friend” – these tips make using Google even better!

I always appreciate reading about  teaching multiple ages.  We have a combination of family learning, pairing children up to learn or independent learning happen in our house.

Marilyn Howshall’s Lifestyle of Learning books were a central part to my learning curve towards discipleship homeschooling.  She has a new website.

Nomi (dd13) always looks forward to seeing Proverbs Family’s  writing prompts – a new set each month.
