There never seems to be a dull moment here at the Hill House, and the past few weeks have been no exception. Here is a quick peek at a couple of the things we’ve been up to, at home and in our homeschool. We had a big tease last week with a 75 degree …
Much to my {enormous} surprise, I’ve gotten many emails in the last month asking if I’d write more about our homeschool days and our life in general. I’m floored. Really. I feel like we live a fairly typical homeschool life, if there is such a thing. Until recently, it hadn’t really dawned on my to …
For the first 1 1/2 years of homeschooling, I flitted around from blog to blog looking for a Bible curriculum that would be a good fit for us. My oldest wasn’t reading well yet and liked to write even less. I had an extremely hard time finding Bible curriculum that moved past the surface description …
We’ve been in school just over a month in the Hill House! I always take pictures on the first and last days of school each year. It’s always interesting to see how my kiddos change from the beginning of the school year to the end. Here’s a peek at our first day! My 2nd Grader …
We are very fortunate to have an actual school room in our home. When we made the commitment to homeschool, we converted our dining room into a school room and haven’t looked back. It was a great decision to give up that rarely-used dining room and create a room that would benefit all of us …
During our school day, I have a dedicated amount of time carved out for my littlest people (3 years old and 20 months). We read books, play puzzles together, do the occasional File Folder Game, and dig through their ABC box during their allocated “Pre-K Fun Time” each school morning. I found that if my …
The concept of Notebooking is very new to me this school year. While I had heard of the method, I had my doubts that it would be a good fit for our homeschool. My son detests the physical act of writing, so why in the world would I torture the poor boy with even more …
I find this homeschooling thing to be such a wild ride (is it just me?!). During May, I was counting the days until the end of school. Now? I can hardly wait for it to start again! I am genuinely excited to start our new school year. This is our third year homeschooling and it …
{Make sure you stick around for the giveaway at the bottom of this post!} One of my main priorities as a mama is to make sure my children have a clear understanding of the Bible: what it contains and what it doesn’t contain. In fact, I just spent a few days on a planning retreat …
My little people and I are fairly crafty and enjoy making craft projects a routine part of our homeschool. Our history curriculum encourages a hands-on project each week and I frequently have crafts set up for my little girls during school time. Needless to say, craftiness and projects are pretty frequent around the Hill House. …
As most of you know, I have 4 kiddos: 7 year old boy, 5 year old girl, 3 year old girl and 18 month old baby girl. Oh yes. It’s busy with a capital B. Since we homeschool and we’re together all day long, I’m always on the hunt for new, fresh ideas, especially for …
