Real encouragement for real homeschooling moms. Hello and welcome to my blog. I am Karen Campbell and I have been married to my husband, Clay, for 32 years. We have six children, whom we have homeschooled, and 7 grandchildren who are, to my delight, also homeschooled. We live in the Midwest and are part of a church family where grace is taught both in word and in deed. One day, I came across a book where the author lamented the fact that so many older women with grown children are involved in their own l...

Thoughts and ramblings for the journey. Tuesday, October 23, 2012. 8220;Take a look back at the last five years of your life. How has your walk with God grown? This was one of the questions asked in a recent conversation with my small group and I struggled to answer it. “The last five years of my life? 8221; They’ve been five of the hardest years of my life, but have I really grown? All this striving and tears – were they for nothing? So the last five years – how have I grown? The Holman's in Bolivia.

Thoughts and ramblings for the journey. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Jeanette and Joanna's Excellent Adventure - Days 5-7. My apologies for lack of posts. We arrived at Jeremy and Jessica’s and we have been having way too much fun catching up and playing with the nieces. :). We also sent Jeremy and Jessica on a date and we watched the girlies for the afternoon. We managed to get them down for their naps, fed the baby, changed diapers, all that good stuff. We read stories, played games, and refilled ...We di...

Common Places: Just another day
http://featherlessbiped.blogspot.com/2012/02/just-another-day.html
Hating Valentine's Day has gotten tedious. Some years, it's an act of self-affirmation and a sign of solidarity with all the other single (or, for that matter, unhappily coupled) people out there to rage against the commercial juggernaut of candy, flowers, cards, and overpriced, overcrowded dinners out. Indignation is at least healthier than moping. This year, though, I didn't really feel the need to either mope or rage. I made a donation in the spirit of Panty Palooza. I try to be mindful of the approac...

Common Places: In Praise of Facebook
http://featherlessbiped.blogspot.com/2013/04/in-praise-of-facebook_5.html
In Praise of Facebook. A new article over at. Talks about the dangers of Facebook envy and the threat social media poses to true community. I want to be sympathetic to the author's concerns, but I have to object to the way she universalizes one kind of experience with social media and suggests that it is inherent to those media themselves. For some of us, Facebook can be a valuable tool for promoting true community. I check Facebook when I'm bored and/or lonely, sure. (Not only. Many of the most intimate...

Common Places: I asked for a trigger warning on Ovid before it was cool
http://featherlessbiped.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-asked-for-tigger-warning-on-ovid.html
I asked for a trigger warning on Ovid before it was cool. Discussions about the possibility and role of trigger warnings in higher education. Always make me a little depressed, because it seems that any mention of the theme instantly devolves into a shouting match between two camps, both terrified that the other will leverage power and privilege to trample on their cherished values, with the result that no one ends up listening to the valid concerns of those who disagree. It turns out, I was way ahead of...

Common Places: Music and me
http://featherlessbiped.blogspot.com/2009/02/music-and-me.html
One of the things that depression stole from me is the capacity to enjoy music. This is about recorded and/or broadcast music - somehow, my relationship to LIVE music is a different, more complicated thing. But I'm not going into that here.). I know fellow depressives who have found music to be a saving grace, something they held onto for dear life when the world stopped making sense. Sometimes it was music in general, sometimes a specific artist/album/song that got them through. My depression has been ...

Jeanette's Blog: Goin' on a Book Tour!
http://djeanettecole.blogspot.com/2011/12/goin-on-book-tour.html
Thoughts and ramblings for the journey. Thursday, December 29, 2011. Goin' on a Book Tour! Hello My name is Jeanette. I’m a bookaholic. Yes, it’s true. I love books. New books always thrill me. Ordering books makes me happy, even when it’s textbooks. I love the smell of books. I love the way books look. I love the way they feel, which is why I may never own a Kindle or a Nook. Then, of course, there are the books on my bookcases. These books range from reference to American Presidents to fiction to p...

Jeanette's Blog: Further thoughts on young marriage, singleness and Voddie Baucham.
http://djeanettecole.blogspot.com/2011/06/further-thoughts-on-young-marriage.html
Thoughts and ramblings for the journey. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Further thoughts on young marriage, singleness and Voddie Baucham. This is written primarily in response to a comment left on my last post, but since my response is long, thought I'd post it here.). Or, what if I do get married and can’t have my own biological children (something that is unfortunately a strong possibility in my case)? Does that mean I’m a little lower on God’s scale than a woman who can have children? The Holman's in Bolivia.

Jeanette's Blog: Jeanette and Joanna's Excellent Adventure - The Conclusion
http://djeanettecole.blogspot.com/2011/04/jeanette-and-joannas-excellent.html
Thoughts and ramblings for the journey. Wednesday, April 06, 2011. Jeanette and Joanna's Excellent Adventure - The Conclusion. Back on 66, I took the wrong exit, but in hindsight, I think it was the right one because taking that exit took me right by my old apartment complex on Blake Lane in Fairfax. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever been back there since I left four years ago. I loved my neighborhood, the tall trees, the beautiful and kind people who lived there.
