We’ve used A Reason for Handwriting for years to teach our kids penmanship. I love the fact their practice sheets contain so much scripture. Some of our kids have been more enthusiastic about learning cursive than others, and I realize some schools no longer require it. If you prefer for your kids to print, they offer manuscript books, too. But did you know learning cursive carries benefits beyond developing a smooth and flowing script? It really helped my struggling readers overcome letter reversals and gave them a leg up on spelling, as well.

Our daughter Bekah signed up to attend a missions

Our daughter Bekah signed up to attend a missions conference in Florida with a friend this month and asked last minute if she could bring her 15-year-old brother along, too. We said yes, and she sent home all these wonderful photos to document the great time they were having. I love to see my adult kids go adventuring, but it especially warms my heart when they invite younger brothers and/or sisters to join them. These close sibling relationships are one of the very best by-products of having spent so many years spent homeschooling together. I love how much our kids love one another. ❤️ #bigfamilylife #homeschooling #lovingfamily #adventureawaits

Can you believe we’ve been homeschooling for wel

Can you believe we’ve been homeschooling for well over thirty years now? Since ten of our twelve have already graduated, I’m rapidly approaching the finish line — a bittersweet fact that spawns a wide range of emotions. Joy, on the one hand, over watching my children grow into mature, responsible, compassionate adults. (3 John 1:4) But I feel a little sadness, as well, knowing that this wonderfully sweet and rich and full and rewarding (albeit simultaneously challenging and exhausting and demanding) season of my life is drawing to a close. What will I ever do once it’s completely behind me? That’s why I’m thrilled to report that my homeschooling career recently got an extension, as I’m getting to school three of my grandkids this year. They’re doing a great job of keeping me on my toes and keeping my two youngest company, so the house doesn’t feel nearly as empty as we thought it might this semester. #homeschoollife #lifestyleoflearning

Having read this book chapter-by-chapter last year

Having read this book chapter-by-chapter last year as it was being written, I know what a labor of love it was for Abbie to write and how earnestly she prayed over every word. 🙏🏻 I know how much scripture she packed into these pages and how faithfully she has lived out its message through all the years we’ve been friends. 🎯 And I also know what a powerful blessing this book is going to be to every reader who is willing to take its transformative message to heart. ❤️ Congratulations, @m.is.for.mama , on another (hard) job well done. I can’t wait to start reading book #3! 😊 #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #hardisnotthesamethingasbad

My sweet husband had an early start, so I ended up

My sweet husband had an early start, so I ended up painting his truck in the dark this year. 🌙 “Just Married 36 Years & My Wife Still Adores Me.” 💕 What I wrote is so true. I suspected Doug would make a wonderful husband as soon as I met him, but he has far surpassed all my hopes and dreams. 😍 Is he perfect? No. Neither am I. But there is a world of happiness and abiding joy that awaits couples willing to love despite their flaws, forgive offenses when they inevitably come, work as a team, and remain committed to one another “for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.” 👫 We’ve had our fair share of all those things, but are grateful for the way God has used every trial to draw us closer to Him and closer to one another. 🌱 Here’s to 36 more years (or as many as our Maker will grant us) of wedded bliss! 🎉 #happyanniversay #36years #moreinlovethanever #stillhoneymooning

We toured the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, every inch of which is exquisite. But even that stop was not completely free of scaffolding, as the grand dining hall was undergoing floor-to-ceiling cleaning and refurbishing while we were there. #biltmoreestate #ashville #lifestylesoftherichandfamous
