Hey Traveler, As I talk to prospective RVers around the country, the question that inevitably comes up is, “Do I NEED to be a handyman-type to RV?” What they mean by that is, do I have to be able to fix toilets, overhaul engines, and know which end of the hammer to hold in order to… Read More

Sharon is a speaker and writer at Sweet Selah Ministries. She started this ministry in order to “ …encourage a movement away from the belief that ‘busy is better’ and… Read More
RVing – Full-time, Part-time, or Once-in-a-while
Hey Traveler, I just got back from RVing to a homeschool convention in Texas. Everything ran great except my toilet broke off. But hey, in the world of RVing, that’s just par for the course. Actually the RV toilet has been my mortal enemy since I bought the RV, and I’ve had it off more… Read More
Character Traits of a Lady and a Gentleman
Our children… oh how we love them! We want so much for them. But, if you’re like me, what we want more than anything else is: we want them to be good people. I guess there are different opinions about what makes someone “good” — however, I think we could all agree on a few characteristics that… Read More
Saddle Up Anyway!
I think it was John Wayne who said, “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” I know that’s what RVing is all about because the truth is, sometimes RVing scares me to death. I feel a little nervous right now as I pack the beast for a month long speaking loop. In… Read More
Have You Taught Your Children to Honor Our Nation’s Birthday?
Did you know that the Revolutionary War lasted 8 years and 137 days? Did you know the American Congress was declared traitors by the Crown? Signing the Declaration of Independence was extremely dangerous – a treasonable act, punishable by death. Not one man who signed the Declaration of Independence was born in America. The most famous extract… Read More
The Ducks Will Get You
Hey Aspiring RVers, One of the most bizarre RV incidents we experienced was when a full-grown turkey smashed through our windshield near Cleveland, OH. Since then, I’ve had a healthy respect for the Butterballs, but they are not the fowls that I fear most. The birds that cause the most problems? DUCKS. Not the kind of ducks that… Read More
Picking the Right RV – Part 2
Hey Aspiring RVers, Today, we’ll discuss different RV options and types. RVs are like pizzas, there’s a kind and variety for everyone. Fourteen years ago when we started shopping the RV market, we quickly discovered that for us, the ‘pizzas’ were limited. Trailers and fifth wheels (the kind you tow) were out because we had… Read More
Children, Manners, and the Summer Holidays
It’s that time of year: parties, holidays and family gatherings. If you are a homeschool parent that means just about every month you are attending or hosting one of these events. You either love them or want to avoid them like the plague. Leaving the house can be a chore for a mom with one… Read More
Who’s in Charge?
Most days I loved homeschooling. We’d start with devotions and chores, move to the pledges to the flags and then tackle math (because in our family it was the hardest) followed by English (because that meant reading on the couch together which made up for the harder math time) and then whatever came next. It… Read More
