Hi friends! I am so excited about the project I’m going to share with you today! This has been on my heart for over a year, but the timing wasn’t right. But now it is! Twice each year, June and December, my dear husband takes our children for 2-3 days and lets me have uninterrupted …
The online homeschooling community is so giving, isn’t it? Each year, bloggers post what curricula they are using, why they’re choosing said curricula, and any helpful hints for the coming school year. For newer, and even more experienced homeschool moms, this is a dream! It’s such a treat to peek into another family’s homeschool and …
We are now in our 5th year of homeschooling here in the Hill House. That’s so hard to believe on many levels! I could write a book on the many things I’ve learned in this 5 years. One of the biggest concepts? I can change curriculum during the middle of our homeschool year. I know …
A few weeks ago, I shared that the bulk of our learning during the Christmas Season involved living books and reading about the birth of Jesus. I was very blessed to realize early on in our homeschool life that we did not have to do traditional school, especially during the holidays. Whew! What a relief! With …

Please see my disclosure policy for more information.) For 5+ years, we’ve used animal counters, but they aren’t quite …
In our homeschool, there always seems to be a steady stream of vocabulary words that my children and I are learning. Whether the vocabulary words are in our Tapestry of Grace work, a unit study, or in our book study of the week, there’s a constant list of vocabulary words we’re wading through. How We …
I’m frequently asked what my favorite ______ is for homeschooling. You can insert the word pencil, printer, curriculum, file folders, read-alouds, or any other item we homeschool mamas frequently ponder over. So today I’m sharing what I have found to be the best dictionary for Kindergarten – 2nd Grade. Dictionary for Kindergarten – 2nd …
When I plan school for the year, I make sure that I include planning lots of educational activities for my girls (ages 7, 5, and 3 1/2). In my opinion, planning what curriculum or unit study were going to work on is only half the battle. Planning independent educational activities for my girls requires thought …
It’s the time of year again – homeschool planning for the new year! (Actually, we just started our new school year yesterday so I’m past the planning point for this year!) Whether you’re starting out in your first homeschool year or working on your 5th like me, wrapping your brain around teaching school to a …
Last year, I published a homeschool attendance record because I have a hard time keeping track of our school days. I simply forget to write down the actual days of completed school. To make it easier on myself, I created an attendance record that is super simple. When we complete a day of school, I …
