As a hard-core night-shift nurse of almost 30 years, I know a thing or two about sleep. Like any true night-shifter, I obsess about it, I protect it, and I love it. Getting a full night's sleep is something we night-shift nurses dream of, yet despite knowing all of the tips and tricks, we rarely get. Recently, through the fog of my own messed up sleep, I've noticed that my pre-teen son was also struggling with sleep. I often get sweet little texts in the middle of night, letting me know that he is unable to...

Homeschooling is not an easy task. If you are a working parent, it's even harder. Finding a balance that works for your family can be a challenge. I know - I'm there in the trenches with you!

I was determined that my need to work was not going to stop me from homeschooling. Where there's a will, there's a way. Through the years,...

I hope that you've been following our paper sloyd series. My children and I have been working through the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. We are making videos of each project and posting them here and on YouTube under the name Happy Handicrafts. This week, for Project #10, we learned how to create a paper sloyd fan. We initially thought that this project would be quite simple, but it proved to be the most challenging yet. Although the instructions and diagram were not difficult, we found that accuracy and attention to detail...

I am going to start off by acknowledging that anyone who knows me well is howling laughing at the very thought that I am writing an article about pet ownership. I am not a pet person, have no desire to be a pet person, and quite frankly will die happy if I never have a pet. But, along came my children, who love creatures of all kinds. It was only a matter of time until they convinced me that they should have a pet. I held them off for a few years with one excuse or...

We are excited to share our latest Happy Handicrafts video with you! Our most recent project from our Paper Sloyd series is a pencil box. This series is perfect for any homeschool mom who wants to give her children the broad feast of education, but feels that she cannot teach arts and crafts. My children and I created this video series for those homeschool moms who don't feel like they are crafty, are short on time, or could just use a little downtime while teaching another student. All you need is Happy Handicrafts - we are...
