In this digital age we moms take a ton of photos. So many that sometimes we find ourselves deleting apps just so that we can squeeze another couple pictures into the camera roll when we get the “Cannot Take A Photo” message on our iPhones. I am constantly uploading to my Instagram account as it […]
Recently I read an article by Mike Yoast Photography who said that this generation will be the one without any pictures. When I first read the title I scoffed. I have over one hundred pictures on my phone, and 3 different backup hard drives with thousands of family pictures stored on them. Not only that but […]
Classical, Traditional, Unschool, Charlotte Mason; with so many different philosophies it’s easy to get confused. Unschooling for Beginners explains what it means to be an unschooler in a clear and concise way.
Did that title shock you? Are you surprised that I would say that academics are not the main priority in our homeschool? It is true, they are not. They are an important factor of course, but they are not our main priority.

I have to say that I am having so much fun teaching Kindergarten at our Homeschool Coop. It is an absolute blast. The best thing about it is that it makes me create lessons for my third child — and we all know that third children do not get the same homeschooling experience as the […]
When I first started to homeschool, 5 years ago, I had no idea what kind of lessons that I was going to teach, let alone how to plan them. Over the years I have used many different planners and systems to organize some of the activities that we do in our homeschool. There have been […]
The one thing I love about winter is that it forces us to be inside a little bit more. I do love sleding, ice skating, and playing in the snow; but I also love curling up with a good book next to the fire. Reading is important to me, and I am so glad that […]
I love the winter holidays. It’s a great time to hibernate and take time to reconnect after a busy fall schedule.
