Raising children tugs on your heartstrings, doesn't it? My oldest child and I have been experiencing quite a bit of friction over the past few months. She is ten going on twenty, strong-willed, and at the age where I am no longer as cool as I used to be, which is a little bit heartbreaking.

We are closing in on finishing up our 6th year homeschooling, and I want to share what is working well for us. I have a rising 6th grader and a rising 3rd grader for reference. I have homeschooled my children since Kindergarten and have learned so much throughout the past six years.

This school year, I have started to incorporate something new and fun to help my kids become better writers. This works for any grade! Every morning, we do something I've started calling "Writer's Corner," and it's been such a great addition to our day.
