		<title>Hope in Tough Times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am seeing it everywhere.  Those with jobs are cutting back and those without jobs are cutting back even more. In my circle of homeschooling moms, many are seriously looking for employment or some other way of making money.  That is when I tell them about Rhea Perry. Rhea is a homeschooling mother of 7 who, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Somebody&#8217;s Watching Me&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was thinking about the topic today, Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” popped into my head. If you have kids at home then you know that someone is indeed watching you…all the time! We are most aware of this when they are around 3 or 4, and they repeat what we say at the most [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Golden Rule&#8230;With Kids?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My son sums up the Golden Rule by saying: Treat others the way you want to be treated. I think that is a pretty good “sum up.” But when it comes to kids, especially our own, we can run into sticky territory.  I would like to say that I always treat my children the way [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Do They Really Need To Know? Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the question on the table is… What skills and knowledge will the kids need in the real world? My husband and I have been going back and forth on this for a while. We both agree that having exposure to a wide range of math, science, history, and literature is a good thing. One [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Do They Really Need to Know?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been homeschooling my children for the last 8 years. We have studied history from ancient times to the present, biology, physics, chemistry, earth science, grammar, math, and many other subjects. We have been studying all of this in the name of education, an education that is supposed to get them ready for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Really Listening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People know when you are not really listening. Even subconsciously, they pick up on it. Some give up, but others keep trying. Have you ever been in a conversation where the other person just keeps talking? They may be saying the same thing over and over again or flit around from one subject to another.

		<title>Everyone Wants to be Heard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has a need to be acknowledged, heard, and understood. Seems pretty obvious. But it is amazing to me how little we do that for each other. Before I had children, I remember standing in line at the grocery store. Ahead of me in line was a mom and her two young children. Her daughter was saying, &#8220;Mommy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vacationing with Kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[John and I were having a discussion about what we enjoyed about the trips we took as kids. For me, it was riding my bike around a new campground – so fun and independent. Riding up to the camp store, even if I wasn’t going to buy anything, swimming in the new pools, climbing on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trip Out West &#8211; The Sum-Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I asked everyone their favorite parts of the trip, what they would have rather skipped, and what they would like to do again: Jade’s favorite parts were climbing the rocks at Yosemite, wakeboarding in Yuma, and the bus tour in San Francisco. Rawhide in Phoenix was fun, too. She wouldn’t recommend Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, [...]]]></description>

Little things just seemed to go wrong today… ·         Miscommunication on packing and trying to get out of the room on time. Tension! ·         John left his hat in the hotel room and ran back for it while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Day 15 – San Francisco       Today was a full day in San Francisco. I scheduled a tour and realized last night that it was a full day tour. This morning we went to Alcatraz. They had a very good audio tour that Ryan really enjoyed. We all thought it was good, [...]]]></description>

Tomorrow we see San Francisco.   Since this is such [...]]]></description>
