I'thou Lee, the creator of the Piece of cake Peasy homeschool curriculum. I'one thousand the mother of six homeschooled children. I began putting my own children's assignments online in 2011 as a way to preserve them. I purposely wrote them in such a fashion that others would exist able to utilise them as well. In 2012 I started letting others know most information technology. My promise is that these sites will enable families to homeschool no matter what their life state of affairs.

The high school site is fix similar to the lower school. Y'all volition cull your grade load. There are recommendations on the site for how to practice that, and if you choose a level on My EP, then it will assign the typical courses for the course level chosen.

In the sidebar carte on the site, you can observe "other courses" and "parent submitted" courses. These pages tin be reached past using "other courses" in the My EP electives course cake. These are not courses created by EP. I haven't worked through them to check content. Some of them are in 180-day format, some aren't. Some have tests and answers; some do not. Organizations and EP users have shared every bit a style to assistance each other out.

Y'all can read my response to the questions "Is it plenty?" and "How tin can this be complimentary?".

Please read the About, How To Use, and FAQ pages to learn more. If yous notwithstanding have questions, please ask the customs on Facebook. (Click "Join Group.")

I was thinking how no one was going to notice all the trivial things I did to get ready for Christmas morning. No one is going to recognize my thoughtfulness in wrapping the silly little things in their stockings so they have things to unwrap while they wait for grandparents to make it and settle in on Christmas morning. They won't capeesh the arrangement and lists to brand sure everyone has the same number of gifts so no one feels left out equally we go round and open the gifts on Christmas morning. No one is going to say thanks for making sure Christmas Eve dinner is all planned so nosotros can get to the Christmas Eve service. No ane is going to stop and realize that everyone got their own favorite treats in their stocking, just that they are happy to get what was in their own. I dubiousness anyone will give thanks me for organizing the gifts then everyone tin can detect theirs or that I planned the social club of gifts for optimal happiness. 😊 They volition merely be happy. And that was the point, to make them happy, not to go the thank you.

I may not be wiping down the counters or the mirrors for the millionth time for their happiness, but just because it needs to be done, and I tin can do information technology. It makes me happy to proceed the home in guild and moving along, even if no one notices the multitude of fiddling things that us moms (and dads) constantly practise to keep life happy for our families. No one says thank you when groceries need to exist put away. No 1 says thanks for getting the bills paid. Our kids live in a bit of ignorance when it comes to the many blessings they receive from having you every bit their female parent or father or grandparent to take intendance of them.

I know it's easy to sigh and wonder why they tin't continue their fingers off the mirrors, merely it's likewise a joy to do it with a heart of gratitude. There's a verse in Proverbs that goes something similar this: The stable is clean where in that location are no oxen. I'yard thankful my home is full, fifty-fifty if that means at that place is ever something to be wiped from the counters.

And information technology's a glimpse at the Male parent's heart. He sends the rain on the righteous and the unrighteous, meeting their basic needs. The dominicus rises to give us all low-cal and estrus each mean solar day. It sets to give us residue. Jesus healed even the ungrateful ones. It pleases the Father to care for His children. It pleases the Father to care for His creation, even when they don't recognize it. And it makes me wonder how many little things He does for me that I never fifty-fifty notice.

Y'all know how skillful it feels when someone does notice and stops to say thanks. We should give that gift to our good Father. And when the bad stuff happens, when the problems pile upward, instead of complaining as if God is laying down on the task, it should remind us of all the things we've neglected being thankful for, and nosotros should rejoice. It should wake us up to thanksgiving and praise. Problems are temporary, but the love of our Male parent is for all eternity.

Thanks to everyone who has given donations to my family. I realized that I hadn't been sending give thanks yous notes. I e'er write a thanks annotation to anyone who donates to the site, but considering the donations to my family unit were mixed upwards with the registrations to My EP, those didn't get notes. I've gotten the arrangement straightened out and then that everyone gets a thank you annotation now. So, sorry if you weren't personally thanked, but we do receive all your gifts and we are grateful for your dearest and support. We don't have any paid work. Your donations are what the Lord is using to provide for our family.

I also wanted to say that there are three new books coming soon. I will hopefully have the links up by next calendar week.

  1. I have the next Good Morning, Lord! book ready. It's the lessons from the book of Exodus. Genesis is already available.
  2. I wrote a very short cull-your-ain adventure blazon volume. Let's say it'southward for effectually ages 8 – 11. You are on a mission trip to build a greenhouse in a Roma community in the Republic of North Macedonia. My husband and I were church planters there years dorsum. In the book are some of our color photos from our time there. It'southward called "Acknowledge Him in All Your Ways." Yous'll find the right path if yous chose to trust God is in command and use His Word to guide y'all. 🙂
  3. The big news is that I have a new novel ready. I wrote in dorsum in January of 2021 and have been working on editing it, on and off all yr. It'due south called The Trumpet and the Swan. I will tell yous more than about information technology at the release, but I will say that it is another finish times story, but this one is prepare in mod day. It'southward not trying to predict annihilation considering that would defeat the purpose. The betoken of the book is that you don't need to know everything, you simply need to know Jesus. It's pedagogy having a relationship with Jesus, walking with Him. Hopefully information technology'south just as engaging asThe King Will Brand a Style.

In one case I become all the work washed to get these published, I will work on getting them on the site somewhere also. The Good Morning time lessons can exist found hither. The Trumpet and the Swanwill be bachelor in hardcover.The King Will Brand a Mode is available in hardcover now!

Lilies on the Mississippi

Terminal September I released a Bible study called, "This Is Eternal Life" and suggested taking the month equally a focused time of prayer and Bible study. I decided to make it a tradition.

I've linked "September Studies" under Bible on the site if you want to find last yr'southward. This year's is linked there as well. It's called "Exist Ye Dissever." Information technology's a study on beingness consecrated, holy, set up apart for God's purposes.

Instead of going through a book of the Bible, similar how I used Matthew final yr, it goes through diverse characters from the Bible and looks at how they were or were not set apart. I hope it'southward a blessing.

Our family has taken to calling September "Jesus month." We take a little more than fourth dimension for Bible study and prayer. Our schedule and activities look a piffling dissimilar for the month.

Mayhap these studies should follow the Jewish calendar and run Elul ane through Yom Kippur, but for now, September is the general time of the Fall Feasts, the Feasts nosotros are waiting to be fulfilled by Christ'southward render, which arrive a good month to choose to ready apart to assistance the states stay alert.

Although the course is called, "Exist Ye Divide," the linked scriptures are mostly the NASB 1995 version. I just can't think of that phrase whatsoever other way. 🙂

The study has 31 lessons, one a day for the calendar month of September plus a little bonus ane.  You can add this to My EP by using one of the Bible blocks (there'south some other on the Extras folio). The "Be Ye" form is at the end of the list, so just proceed clicking Next Class to find it. You lot could apply Parent-Improver as well to get it on your lesson page. Moms (and dads and grandparents) feel free to brand yourself a student page to follow this form.

Be Ye Separate

P.S. If this post looks all squishy and weird to y'all, yous aren't alone. I can't seem to do anything nigh it. It'south not how I wrote it. It'southward not how it looks on the editing page. I estimate maybe something to be expected encouraging Jesus Calendar month…Be praying for me and EP!

Last week I posted Part i of No-Regret Homeschooling. Final week and this week are things I've spoken about in interviews I've washed but haven't gotten on the site before. Today'south is most later on nosotros brand the decision to homeschool and stepping into it.

Moving Forward with No Regrets

After we make the decision to homeschool, insecurities start to creep in. Yeah, we love our children, but is that enough? I'm not a teacher. I don't go math. I am already busy. Won't it price a lot to do it well? What if I tin can't do it? What if what I take to give my child isn't enough?

Here comes our side by side stride towards no-regret homeschooling. We need to brand a determination on how to approach homeschooling. We can't let panic force u.s.a. into a wrong choice here. We demand to choose with the confidence we built with our choice to homeschool in the offset identify.

The fear decision would be to imitate what the schools do, the fear being that your child will get behind and non larn what the kids in school are learning. This leads to desks in rows, thick overpriced textbooks, very expensive online schools, intensive all-24-hour interval online programs, and other such stress-inducing options.

The fear is that what you offer your kid might be somehow less than what they would become in school. But, remember, you've already decided that what they have to offering in school isn't what yous want for your child. If school is what you wanted for your child, you lot'd send them at that place. If you've already decided not to ship your child to school, why would yous want to replicate information technology?

And then in that location is the cocky-dubiousness, looking at others and comparing them to yourself. These other homeschoolers have their stuff together. Their kids are so accomplished. The fearfulness-based decision would be to just imitate them, hoping to replicate their children'south success. While there's nothing wrong with gleaning wisdom from those who have gone before, there's a large problem with but doing what others are doing simply because you lot don't want to take responsibility for the determination yourself.

We have to deal with the underlying fear of the responsibleness of educating your children. Educating your children is not separate from parenting them. We love them. We do our best to guide them. They ALL volition make mistakes because we're all raising humans. 1 mistake, one bad decision has ruined some lives, but a loving family doesn't lose it at that point. A loving parent doesn't take their identity wrapped upward in their children. Their children'southward success is a joy to them, and their failures aren't an embarrassment, just a place to reach out in dear to help them back up and on their style. Regardless of whether your child goes to Harvard or community college or skips college birthday, what they practise or don't practice is not a reflection of your self-worth.

Love keeps no record of incorrect doing. Love doesn't hold anything your child does against them. Love forgives. Love keeps its arms open. Love doesn't say, "Subsequently all I did for you…" Love says, "I would do it all once again."

Then, let'southward look at the flip side of deciding how we will approach homeschooling: the love-based decision. You love your child. You know your child best. Y'all know your family. Your decision equally to how yous will approach homeschooling will be as unique as your kid and your family.

I like to say that homeschooling is just an extension of parenting. You have been educational activity your child their whole life. You taught them their first words. Y'all taught them what a tree was. Y'all taught them how to use utensils. You've been didactics them all along. Why should it stop now? You lot were made for this.

Each family has its own unique culture. Each family is made up of different people, so each family interacts in different ways. There are some general categories such as those families who run their lives by schedule and savor each day beingness the same, and those who like adventure and flight by the seat of their pants. Some families have movie nights, and some read aloud to each other. Some families are large and have lots of extended family nearby for lots of gatherings, and some are modest and spend most of their fourth dimension by themselves.

We similar to categorize everything like that, only the truth is life isn't that dandy and orderly. We're all a mix of lots of different things. And that mix in each of the states as humans mixes with the mix in the other humans nosotros live with, creating our family hugger-mugger sauce that no one else has.

Your parenting is unique. No one else's habitation is just like yours. It can't exist. It's made up of dissimilar people. You may have things in mutual with them, just y'all have different families. You accept different traditions, community, not simply big things similar holidays, but the mean solar day-to-solar day traditions and customs. Do you rise early without an warning and open up the kids' bedroom doors with a song on your lips to wake and ready them for the twenty-four hour period? Do you drag out of bed on the 4th snooze after your kids are already upwards and cerealed and watching Television set?

We all do things differently. My family sits downwardly together for a homemade breakfast each forenoon, but lunchtime is a free-for-all-survival-manner-every-man-for-himself experience. To each his own.

Our families are different. Our parenting is unlike. Each human relationship is unique, then the parents' relationship with each child is different, even within the same family. People are unique. You are unique. Your kids are unique. Your family unit is unique. Your parenting is unique to you, and your homeschooling volition be unique to you.

That'southward the bespeak of all that. Be your ain homeschoolers. Just like nosotros don't desire to look to the schoolhouse and copy that, nosotros don't want to look to others to copy them. They aren't you. They volition never be you. Their kids are non yours. Y'all don't want your kids to be their kids. Y'all want your kids to be themselves. Let your kids exist themselves and don't endeavour to push them into someone else'south mold.

I hope y'all tin agree that you lot want your kids to be raised to be all they tin can be, not all that someone else has decided they should be, including you. Honey your kids enough to desire them to grow into who they were created to be, not your idea of who they should be.

We need to be clear on our love motivation. We can't let selfishness pitter-patter in and starting time looking at ourselves. We need to make certain we're free of those cocky-doubts and insecurities that say my kid'south success in the eyes of the world determines my worth.

Nosotros demand to homeschool out of dear.Love is selfless.

We can homeschool without regret considering our motivation is dearest anddear never fails.

Below is the showtime office to a mini ebook I wrote on No-Regret Homeschooling. If you know someone waffling on the decision to homeschool, consider sharing this resource with them to encourage them.

Making the No-Regret Decision to Homeschool

This isn't going to be long because this doesn't have to be complicated. You are thinking about homeschooling, and so you already accept reasons to consider it. Or maybe y'all've already decided it's what you lot want to practice, just aren't fully convinced information technology'south what you lot should practise. Many reasons that push button families to homeschool are fearfulness-based: fear over what they are teaching at schools, fear over how your kid has been or might be treated, fear over violence, and now fear over disease spreading through schools.

I want to offer you lot a dissimilar perspective. Personally, I always want to avoid any fear-based decision. I don't want fear ruling my life. I want my life ruled past love instead. I want you to look at the decision to homeschool from the perspective contrary of fear– i of beloved.

Who loves your child more, you or the country? Homeschooling is a simple decision when y'all wait at information technology from the perspective of honey. No one loves your child more than you practice. No one is going to care about your child more than than you do.

Yep, at that place are awesome teachers out at that place that care virtually their students and are experts in their field, but they can't ever care about your child the way you lot do. No thing how dedicated they are, they can't tailor their day and their curriculum to fit your kid. They tin't know your child the style y'all do.

You, however, even if you accept multiple children and other demands, are more equipped to accommodate and mold your child's education in the way that'south best for them.

Curriculum standards are one-size-fits-all, but we know each child is unlike. Each homo is unique, even identical twins. School could never give them the dear and care that yous can.

If you lot determine to homeschool out of honey, and then you will not fail your child.Dear never fails. That'south a timeless truth. If you are homeschooling out of fear, you could fail. If your only motivation is to keep them abroad from schoolhouse and not to provide and support your child'south education, so your kid volition exist at a loss.

Getting that "why" downwards will be the most important step towards no-regret homeschooling. Homeschool your children simply because yous beloved them. That love will never change, so your motivation will never change. There won't be waffling in your decision.

It'southward pretty simple to experience confident that you love your children more than the state does. Y'all can apply the aforementioned conviction towards anyone who questions your decision to homeschool. You tin shrug information technology off without offense. While they may care virtually your family, y'all can know that they don't love your kid every bit much equally you do. No one else has that parent-child bail with your child.

*Deciding to send your child to school is not a sign of not loving your child. Just, if that'south your determination, go far out of dear and not fright!

On a side note, if your child is interested in a local business concern, your child could ask them if they would be interested in an intern. Let them know if the expectation is to work for free or for a low wage. My daughter (college student) works as an intern at a stained drinking glass workshop. She has very flexible hours and can stop and then start once more as school demands, and I'm sure they are happy she gets paid a fraction of what their full-fourth dimension employees brand. They've already offered full time for when she finishes school. I don't recollect she'll want to do that, merely it's certainly a mode in the door of some place your child is interested in.

A twelvemonth ago I announced nosotros had our own dwelling! Information technology was a decades-long wait for me, but a dream fulfilled past my loving Father. Although we struggled with coming dorsum to America after being overseas for xiv years, looking back, we are assured that He has u.s. in only the correct place, not just in America, but downwards to existence in this abode. We were just discussing final night how everything worked to point u.s. to being correct here, correct now. For such a time equally this, right?

Cheers for sticking with us this year! I know we had a roller-coaster ride in the middle of the year when the site crashed. It was really a sugariness time in the Lord for me, His peace and presence being so close and articulate. It felt like a personal victory to me being able to walk through it in that state of mind.

This was really a pretty awesome year for our family unit. We had our outset ever year in our ain home. We've been slowly working on it. We've been able to host guests and spend fourth dimension with neighbors.

Piece of cake Peasy grew lots this year and we've been able to use that to help families locally and around the globe. We simply got an advertizing folio upward to help EP families hopefully, and we brought back our book request for struggling families.

My husband started working on a Bible translation project this year, in the North Macedonia dialect of Romani. He's partnering via Messenger with his all-time friend, his language teacher from Macedonia (now named North Macedonia). He's also become a regular invitee preacher by Zoom at churches in Republic of india.

During the bound quarantine, I fabricated miracle story videos to encourage people to non be afraid. I got upwardly a site this year to firm those videos, likewise as other teachings, a gospel message, and the Romani Bible translation. That's been fun work. I make the videos for the audio version of the Bible translation. While my husband and his friend have worked out how to write down this by and large unwritten linguistic communication, the principal thrust of the translation is to go far available as audio. It'due south out on social media now and some Roma take started getting together online weekly to pray and read the scriptures for the beginning time in their own language.

This fall I led a reading/Bible report group using my novel,The King Volition Make a Manner. That was a fun and encouraging time for me too.

That was the book of Matthew, and I've been calculation onto that going through the book of John.

We got some more courses done as workbooks, as requested by our EP families. I got out some updates to our My EP site to brand things even easier peasier. Nosotros replaced a multitude of Flash games with our very own fun activities, and I got to see my once-a-twelvemonth-friends at our almanac EP picnic, which is e'er a treat!

Here are our EP stats. We've almost made it everywhere in the world! The darker colour ways more people apply it at that place.

The nighttime blue is actual visitors. The big blocks are but views. These aren't registered users, just people finding their style to the All-in-One Homeschool site. But still…what a divergence a year makes. The Lord uses all things for good…
