Discover the rich, faith-rooted tradition of true American Education and why it may be the superior choice for your homeschool — beyond the elitism of Classical models. 

In this post, we explore what makes American Education unique, biblically grounded, and empowering — especially for families seeking structure, purpose, and freedom. 

Drawing from the wisdom of Noah Webster, McGuffey, and America's founders, this post outlines a compelling case for an education that frees the heart and trains the mind.

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what “real” learning looks like after 36 years of homeschooling my 15 children. We’ve journeyed through the philosophies of Charlotte Mason, Ruth Beechick, Raymond Moore, John Holt, and more—but now it’s time to ask: How do we put all of this into practice? 

I’ll walk you through a 30,000-foot view of a four-part framework that changed everything for our family: 

1. A child’s relationship with God and man 
2. Tools for learning (the basics done well) 
3. Content (truth-driven and interest-based) 
4. Practical skills (the stuff of real life) 

We’ll also talk about why mimicking public education leads to burnout, how to stay focused in a sea of choices, and how to homeschool with purpose, not just curriculum. 

Whether you’re just starting out or have been at this a while, this episode will help you reset and refocus on what really matters. Let’s do this—together.

I was not raised to become a mother. I was raised to see babies as a threat and to deny my maternal instincts.

Can you relate? In this podcast we will talk about the cost of denying one's motherliness, and the blessings of pursuing it.

As a mom of 15, whenever I announced the births of our children as a product of our trust in God, someone would inevitably exclaim, "But God gave you a brain, too, so why don't you use it?" The implication was that having babies is not logical.

But is it logical to have babies? I think so, and in this video I will give some reasons why preventing babies is harmful, both to individuals and to the society at large, while having babies benefits everyone.

We have been trained to see everything from a negative side-view. Governments, money, morality, social issues, standard of living.

I believe that thinking and speaking with a dark foreboding expectation of the future sets things in motion so that our decisions begin creating the very things we say we dread. Our expectation of the future is causing us to build that future.

However, the opposite is also true. If we can turn our gaze on Jesus, our expectations can be adjusted so they are positive.

Hope of the future sets the ball rolling. When we believe everything is working for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purposes, our individual decisions begin to look different. We are falling into plans for a hopeful future, and, in doing so we are helping to create that future as an optimistic one.

"The material conditions of life will continue to get better for most people in most countries most of the time, indefinitely. Within a century or two, all nations and most of humanity will be at or above today’s Western living standards. I also speculate, however, that many people will continue to think and say that the conditions of life are getting worse." This is a quote by Julian Simon, an economist who fought against the lie of overpopulation. In his understanding, human beings are NOT a cancerous blight, but our greatest natural resource!

There is no suggestion here that family or children (especially lots of children) will fulfill all dreams and solve all societal ills. I know first-hand that children are messy, smelly, and disruptive. They cost a lot, even if you cook from scratch and shop at Goodwill. Too often they take all of your loving care and throw it back in your face as a "thank you."

But there is more. Much, much more. There is SO much more, in fact, that it would take a million podcasts to tell you about the exponential benefits of doing things God's way.

Listen in to find out just some of them.

The modern homeschooling movement has been unabashedly political from its inception. This election cycle should be no exception--we explore some Biblically-based reasons in this video. I searched but could not find a good article about the negative intentions for the Common School movement--the search engine I used could only speak of it in glowing terms. So, I found a page from an important education site (learninfreedom.org) that gives reference to a number of books which you may find interesting. Here it is: https://learninfreedom.org/school_sta...

Are you convinced classical education is good—but still feel something’s missing? 

After homeschooling 15 children over 36 years, I’ve discovered a deeper, richer way of learning—one that engages not just the mind, but the heart. In today’s video, I explore the concept of “heart-thinking,” drawn from Scripture, science, and real-life moments that can only happen at home. 

We’ll talk about: 

• Why true learning involves more than just intellect 
• What the Bible says about “delight” and how it relates to education 
• How even the most reluctant learner can be transformed by joy 
• Why some of the most powerful teaching happens in everyday moments—kneading bread, reading aloud, or walking through the woods 

I’ll also share two of my favorite homeschooling books that beautifully express this philosophy. 

If you’ve been looking for a higher path in home education—one rooted in joy, relationship, and God’s design—you’ll find encouragement and practical insight here.

I know we all come to homeschooling from different angles. We often stumble into it. We even think we can buy a stack of books and keep "education" in its own separate compartment and keep living like we always have.

But this doesn't go very well for very long.

Like a delicious, well-cooked and seasoned meal, education is supposed to nourish both body and soul. It is not supposed to be dutifully shoved down in huge amounts until it becomes loathsome.

I know, because I have been so guilty of doing this myself. I have been guilty of making Charlotte Mason cry.

So, your children are growing up. You've been enjoying the learning journey so far (except for maybe learning to read and long division), but the years ahead are blurry and unsure. Are you really capable of facing the years ahead? I say YES--you can homeschool your teens!

And this is from many years, and many children, of experience. So far, we have "graduated" 13 of our 15 children. All of them were homeschooled until graduation.

There are only so many hours in each day, and there is a limit to how much learning we can cram in. Sadly, many of the "fun" things we thought we'd have more time for when homeschooling get pushed off to the side.

Autodidacting gives us a way to legitimately pursue our passions and interests, but with structure and accountability.

Having a peaceful home leads to peaceful homeschooling. When we get our household running on rails of habit and routine, we find we have more "brain space," time, and energy for all of the learning activities with our children.

Now, we all know that, no matter how ethereal our intentions may be, we live in a real world with real people and real agendas which attempt to contradict God's plans on almost every plain. Caesar never stops at a little excising, he takes a little here, a little there, and he continues to grab until he swallows the whole.

We all experience excising, some more than others. This is why we must learn and train our children to understand just where Caesar's boundaries are, and when he grabs for more than his due we can cheat.

This is not the cheating of corruption. It is not stealing from others or living in lies. It is keeping ourselves from living lies. It is using the system for its original intentions, which have been buried beneath the behemoth stack of bureaucratic eduspeak and intellitalk.

It's allowing our children to actually THINK and learn, but making it look like they are only parroting and shuffling along in line like good little drones.

Recently we have been delving deeply into the idea of notebooking as a homeschooling method of learning. This is partly because of our current project of creating some "notebooking books" that we are calling Commonplace Books. (We held a contest on the Mom Delights YouTube community and it was so much fun!).

Anyways, as I have been sharing so much on the subject, a number of questions arose from our audience. I thought it would be a good idea to take some time and answer as many of them as I could.

Classical Education is being praised by top conservatives, but after 36 years homeschooling my 15 children, I’ve learned it’s not the answer—and may even be harmful. In this video, I explain why I reject it, share historical insights, and offer practical, Christ-centered alternatives like Charlotte Mason, the Moore Formula, and Unschooling. Listen while you get things done, and let’s rethink what “real learning” means.

It has always been the tendency for people to lord it over each other and for one portion of people to become elitists and use the rest of the people for their own ends. However, it is one thing to be in bondage physically, and another to be in bondage in one's soul. This post will be dealing specifically with homeschooling slavery.

When I discovered the McGuffey Readers I was on the verge of burn out from trying to use the Charlotte Mason method with seven or more children at one time. It was difficult to find appropriate passages of poetry and prose for everyone on his or her particular level. It was even more difficult trying to keep track of their work when it was done. McGuffey gave me a break. Included in each reader was a collection of the greatest literature, both prose and poetry, of the English language. No more searching, no more having to compile everything myself and then watch my hard work disintegrate before my eyes as my children and I both lost track.

Recently a few of my viewers on YouTube asked if I would address the aesthetics side of motherhood. They actually accused me of looking “put together.” Actually, I’ve always been the kind of girlie-girl that is also creatively distracted. This means I like pretty things in the abstract, and I often start the day with the best of intentions, but by the end of the day I become forgetful of my appearance and end up looking like a hot mess!

Still, I try to follow certain practices so I at least begin with beauty. This is what we will be discussing (without judgement or pressure) in this podcast.

Poor is relative. When we invest in the eternal things, the material things become richer, and we become wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice.

There is something conspicuously absent in our homeschooling.

It’s not curricula.

It’s not supplies.

It’s not physical exercise.

It’s not test preparation.

It is something so simple that we rarely think about it, yet it is so profound that we are doomed to fail without it.
