Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of my favorite people to study. In fact, my children and I study him every year. He had such a fascinating life! Because we study Dr. King each year, I decided to purchase quite a few books about him. Our local library only has a few copies of each, …
During the week between Christmas and New Year’s, I take the time to review our previous homeschool semester. I think reflection is valuable use of my time, so I can determine what to repeat and what to eliminate. I always take some time to reflect before I prepare our homeschool for the next semester. Throughout …
Christmas is by far my favorite time of the year! I try super hard not to be busy and just have simple Christmas seasons. Some years that is easier said than done! Having a simple Christmas season always includes plenty of time to sit with my children and read tons of Christmas books. Here are …

I even remember finishing my work early in the 4th grade, just so I could go to the centers. Thank you, Mrs. Sexton, for …

Even though our opinions and preferences change over time, this train of thought has been a mainstay for me as a homeschooling mom. In fact, I’m now convinced more than ever that homeschooling without a boxed curriculum …

Like most Americans, “The Star-Spangled Banner” holds a very special place in the hearts of my family. Sure, I associate it with baseball games and summertime, but I strive to teach my children that our national anthem is more than just a song. It’s a symbol of our freedom! And even though we won’t cycle …
Oh Friends, it has been a long time since I published a literature-based unit study! While my girls and I have studied a few books off and on this semester, I haven’t posted about that type of learning since Christmas! Eek! Since my youngest two are at the age where book unit studies are still such …
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my 5 and 7 years olds are intrigued by Venn Diagrams. They love to compare everything from themselves to the birds in the front yard. I made several Venn Diagram worksheets for my 7 year old, who is an avid reader. They were far too advanced for my …
