When I first started homeschooling my oldest child in Kindergarten, I didn’t give much thought to formal handwriting. Sure, I got a handwriting book for practice, but I didn’t realize it was something that had to be taught. Keep in mind that I was a Registered Nurse prior to homeschooling my children – not a school …
It has been a mighty long time since I published a math worksheet that focused on reading a graph. Years, in fact! I have a first grader that is just learning about bar graphs, so this spring-themed bar graph practice will be just perfect for her. No, it’s not yet spring here in North Carolina, …
There are several timeless topics that my children and I study each year. These mainstay topics seem to ebb and flow as we move through the seasons in our homeschool. As we move away from harsh winter weather and into the newness of Spring, my children and I will once again study about birds. We …
Disclosure: I received a free copy of Tapestry of Grace Primer to review and was compensated for my time. The opinions in this post are based on my own experience using this curriculum with my children. Please see my disclosure policy for more details. For the past 5 years, my children and I have …
Math facts are one of those skills that you have to practice over and over…and over. Because they require quick recall, we practice math facts in a variety of ways.

Thankfully with having 4 children, I realized early on that imaginative play has huge benefits. While I create a boatload of worksheets and printable activities for us to use in our homeschool, they never trump pretend play. Imaginative play is a priority in our home. For many years, I felt like I wasn’t disciplined enough …

For the past couple of years, my children and I have attended a Valentine’s Day Bowling party with the homeschool crowd from our church. It is just so fun! My kiddos are looking forward to it. Each year the children exchange Valentines and candy with one another. It never fails that I don’t remember this particular …
While we usually use a traditional handwriting program here at the Hill House, I’m always willing to postpone it a day or two for a little copywork that relates to our current topic of study. This spring, my kiddos and I will re-visit all of our marvelous bird books and unit study resources. I’m so …
Because I adore soup in the winter months, I have another soup recipe for you today! In fact, we eat soup at least once a week here at the Hill House when the weather is cool. Soup fills up the tummy, is usually fairly frugal, feeds a crowd with leftovers, and is a great way …
