The Princess Cut is a movie about love and expectations from Watchman Pictures. We’re reviewing it with our upper elementary kids for the Homeschool Review Crew. This was a great movie night film for the whole crew. It might be a little slow paced for young ones, since the movie deal with relationships as the…
Hey folks Listen. Living with little humans is tough. Life with six teens and five little kids is CRAZY. Truth be told, Tuesday Recap is purely metaphorical. If I didn’t say a day in the title, I’d never be like, “crap, it’s Tuesday and I didn’t write my recap.” Then furiously write, or just give…
This month we had two great unit studies to review along with the digital version of Creation Illustrated magazine. We jumped right into the fall copy and used the accompanying Pine Tree Study Guide. Take a Moment to Nurture Your Senses Creation Magazine has been a calm for busy families for almost twenty-five years….
Being a visual learner made math a difficult subject for me, but as we reviewed the MathArt Online 4-Class Bundle from NatureGlo’s eScience, I knew this would be a great way to learn for any child, especially those who lean toward visual learning. Math is a Visual Field of Study The application of Mathematics is…
Who failed to teach her kids the months of the year and how to count by fives, this lady! Not to worry, Starfall Education Foundation has me covered with The Starfall Home Membership. Being an unconventional homeschooler is great, but there are always gaps. Like my experience with the months of the year. Sometimes, you don’t…
Our sanity saving Mini-Unit on Greek History is what we are loving right now!
I thought that those of you who have just met me might like a little picture into our life. Here is a bit more of our recap. January is blissfully over. It was one of the worst ones I have ever had. Everyone was sick, it seemed like is was never-ending. I have a new…
We start school after chores and breakfast, usually around 10am. We are sort of cobbling together quite a few things right now. This has been difficult for me. I have always used Sonlight Curriculum. I like having a binder to give me a clear layout for the year, day by day break downs and…
We are working on getting four kids in colleges next year. You can believe that we are searching every avenue for earning college funds. After pouring over hundreds of articles and websites I am seeing a pattern on places where there is the highest amount of scholarship money available to students. STEM is the hot…
STEM is a hot subject in education for all of the right reasons and colleges are rewarding students who have STEM credits on their transcript. We are putting Think Like an Engineer; the course from Innovators Tribe, on our transcript for .25 credit hours after we finish our review period. The best part is that both…
The first seven years of homeschooling were our training years. We worked on kindness, sharing and ownership, self discipline, and obedience more often than we worked on letters and numbers. We trained our kids with long term goals in mind. When we saw areas that were frustrations or skills we needed, we set up ways to work on them.
Who else hates Leveled Reader books? I am loving The Magic Stories (Allsaid & Dunn, LLC, publishers of The Reading Game and authors of the Wordly Wise series) for two reasons: first, the list of The Naughty 40 (words) to prep before the story and secondly, the squeal of delight when I gave my daughter…
Remember the Little Pumpkin Tracks I shared about from Let the Little Children Come? We were also shipped their wonderful Gospel Tracks and Evangelism Tools Sampler Pack for children to review. My kids all claimed something for their own. The little prizes made me nostalgic for my first Sunday school days many years ago. Why…
My upper elementary kids are ready to start a Bible study of their own. We had the chance to review Weave Your Word in Me — Part 1 from Kid Niche Christian Books and have found a solid introduction to reading and studying God’s word for themselves. A Guided Study Creates Consistency I have…
