WARNING: THIS BOOK WILL EITHER OFFEND YOU OR LIBERATE YOU. Teaching academics to your child is like teaching your baby how to walk. All you need to do is offer encouragement, opportunity, support when needed, and enticing resources (e.g. a push walker). In other words, it's your job to provide those things, but it's their job to learn and walk when they're ready. It begins with believing your child CAN learn and WANTS to learn, and that you (yes, you) can trust yourself to lead the way.This book provides not only compelling reasons to educate your child at home, but offers age range and educational possibilities in many subjects. It is within the reach of most parents and caregivers to cultivate a lifestyle where learning is enjoyable and relaxed for everyone within the home, and where childhood can be savored while attaining academic goals. About the AuthorKeri Mae Lamar was a public school teacher who witnessed and felt the frustration of a system that did not allow (and could not allow) for unique individuals with their own abilities, curiosities, interests, talents, and potentials. She threw out her training to educate her own children at home within the rhythms and realities of family life.Keri Mae has graduated four of her nine children so far. One is homesteading and raising her own family; one graduated from university Summa cum laude and is currently pursuing a doctorate in chiropractic; another is an avid hiker, adventurer, and sword fighter whose interest lies in Search and Rescue within wooded areas; and the fourth is pursuing music via piano, violin, ukulele and song writing.Still in the trenches, Keri Mae is currently home educating five children ages 6-17, two of whom have Down syndrome.

Have you ever wondered if the Bible has any practical application for mothers in the trenches running households with many littles clinging to their legs? Have you ever felt mentally, physically and emotionally drained, and spiritually dry, while the world never stops long enough to let you catch up, sleep, or even daydream?The Bible says that it is the Bible itself (2 Timothy 3:16-17) that is sufficient to equip and enable believers to do any good work, so Keri Mae studied it to find answers to her challenges. She found refreshment and strength through these studies, and published them within her blog to exhort and encourage others who understood the unique struggles goading a stay-at-home mother. These studies have been collected, revised and updated for this volume.Glean how the Word speaks to every part of life, and learn how to do your own profitable Bible study to answer your own unique questions. With thought-provoking questions at the end of each study, this book is perfect for personal growth or as a basis for a small group.

"If I were angry or happy or sad or lonely, the response was always the same: turn to this ether promise of comfort and assurance." Keri Mae Lamar confesses the hold the Internet had on her, and how deleting her growing blog gave her opportunity to examine the incessant call of media. What follows is her story in attempting to cultivate a present life, from selling the treadmill to eating roosters and more. PRESENT will challenge your habits and inspire you to arrange-or rearrange-your life to achieve balance in a technological world with the people you love most.

"Start your day with hope and end your day with satisfaction..." This wasn't supposed to be a book. It was supposed to be a short little bookLET to gift to my wonderful patrons - the patrons who will keep A Happy Home Media running and publishing. But as I wrote, the bookLET grew, and pages and pages later, here we are. And, yet, it's still not a "book". For some, it will be a lifeline. For others, a little help along the way. It's not a "quick read". It's a helping hand from a mom who not only has been there, done that, but is still there, doing that. It's not one more thing to do, a project to complete, or a rule of life. It's a peek into the practices of another mom, and other moms, and with that, a nudge. Or two. There's no pressure here, no demands, no judgement or goals. Practices is simply a meaningful map to counterbalance the culture of rush and to offer hope that, yes, there is an easier way than having your life lead you. Your life is a gift. Live it. - KML FROM THE BACK COVER: Every morning, a fresh opportunity is born to cultivate a day in which relationships are strengthened and goals are making progress. The house becomes a home, a place where people can work, study, and thrive and the Lord is honored in it all. But too many mornings, the keeper of the home is not ready and equipped for that day. Off with a rush, the whirlwind of the world buffets her until late at night, when exhausted she falls into bed, unprepared for the morning to come. And thus it continues, day after day, until dreams become wishes that never quite come true. In PRACTICES, Keri Mae shares her own personal "practices" that give her a productive, creative, and easy-going approach to life. Here, you'll also find many practices from other women, along with resources to help you implement your own. PRACTICES will give you hope and equip you for a happier day. In the morning, you will have a firm platform to greet your day with - in the evening, a soft landing from it. With PRACTICES, you can learn to embrace each day with joy and turn your home into the life-giving place you deeply desire.
