My Domestic Church

Ohio Homeschoolers are trying to get their notifications in before the start of the public school year. I wrote about this a little bit here and also here and I'm adding a bit more information. The notification form for Ohio Homeschoolers is available here.   This is the standard form for the state. Some school districts (like mine) send their own form.  Just ignore it.  The standard form is compliant with the Ohio law and that's all the school district is really entitled to.

Since getting or portfolios reviewed last week, the kids and I have been slacking off this week and trying to get some household work done. With five kids from Kindergarten to 12th grade I am really going to have my hands full and am trying to just get the major household projects done.One of the things I wanted to get done this week was get Sam his driver's license. This part of Ohio is a tricky thing. The big driver's license bureau where he took his test to get his learning license has kids b

 Join Jen and the other Quicktakers over at the Conversion Diary.1. The kids and I traveled down to Columbus for our yearly homeschool portfolio assessment to see Dr. Holinga. Gosh I wish we could have all day with her. She was the reading professional that helped Calvin finally overcome his reading difficulties and we have seen her regularly since then. We spend about an hour catching up with our lives and then each child reads for her and she looks at their portfolios. I have made this a

It is just about my favorite time of the year - when the weather is still nice and the regular school kids are back in school!! Leaving me and my kids more time to be on our own, undistracted from little friends pounding on the backdoor, phones ringing and moms looking for their kids at my house!We have our big portfolio review coming up and once again I am worried about it. Did we do enough? did we do too little? how come a whole year doesn't look so impressive when it's in a binder? Honest

Our Lady fell asleep at last after the yeas of living with St. John and waiting for Heaven, and all the Apostles were gathered about her bed. Except St. Thomas. He was off in India preaching the Gospel and couldn't get back in time although an angel is supposed to have told him to hurry. The Apostles carried her body to the tomb and laid it there and some time afterward they discovered that it was gone. They naturally concluded that it had been taken to Heaven (as indeed it had). Then St. T
