Welcome
Mom Is Forever gathers the things Tina writes about most: faith, family life, preschool education, homeschooling, Bible studies, book reviews, and the empty nest years. The aim is simple — encouraging families as they learn and grow together within the boundaries of an imperfect world.
Start with the About page to meet Tina, browse Homeschool for subject resources, or settle in with Bible Study notes and devotionals.
Preschool and Homeschool Learning
Preschool activities on the blog cover animals and zoo animals, calendar time, colors, counting, letters, math and number recognition, motor skills, patterns, sensory activities, shapes, sorting, and transportation themes. Seasonal ideas follow the year — fall, back to school, apples, pumpkins, winter, and springtime fun with sensory bins, gardening, and sidewalk chalk.
Homeschooling resources reach further, with grammar and usage, history, math, geometry, and reading, plus high school homeschooling notes, science, and iPad apps for learning. Handprint and footprint keepsake crafts sit alongside free coloring pages and classroom organization tools.
- Homeschooling resources — grammar, history, math, geometry, and reading.
- Printables — daily schedules, coloring pages, calendar time cards, and worksheets.
Bible Study and Devotionals
Bible study notes and devotionals sit at the heart of the blog. Studies include A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place by Beth Moore and Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed: A Study of David, alongside sermon notes on James, Psalms, prayer, marriage, fear, pride, and trials.
Quiet time is a recurring theme — what personal Bible study looks like in an ordinary week, and how it holds up through hard seasons. Tina, who lives with Crohn's Disease, also wrote a 10-day devotional for those walking through chronic illness, sharing her own experience rather than medical guidance.

Kitchen, Home, and Family Life
Beyond lessons and study notes, the blog keeps a kitchen and home corner: slow cooker recipes for beef and chicken, desserts including chocolate cobbler, kid-friendly snacks, and homemade soap and cleaning tips. Celebrations get their own space too — Christmas, Easter, graduation, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, and weddings.
Family life runs through all of it, from a son's wedding in June 2014 to the quieter work of nurturing a lifelong marriage and learning to parent adult children. Tina is a member of HubPages and keeps a store at consideringthejoy.net.
