Our homeschooling and home building story.
Every year I like to take a look at what worked and what didn't in the last year. Bible: We did the Bible Study Club Pack by Not Consumed. This was great. My kids enjoyed it and so did I. They have some new studies this year and I may be interested in adding them... Continue Reading →
This year Cas will be in Kindergarten and Ari will be in 4th grade. I gave them both some choices in what curriculum they wanted to do this year. The subjects we will all do together are Bible, Science, some Social Studies, music, art, Spanish, health and nature study. I am also teaching 2 hours... Continue Reading →
At the end of the year, I like to give an evaluation on how our curriculum worked out for us. As a reminder, Ari was in third grade and Cas was in preschool. First of all, we loved our cores. Exploring Countries and Cultures was a lot of fun. We enjoyed learning about our world... Continue Reading →
Timberdoodle's Farmland Math is a simple and intuitive preschool math program that both of my kids have enjoyed. It consists of a Farm mat, a bucket of farm animals made up of 6 different animals in 5 different colors, and a weekly lesson guide with a total of 36 lessons. The lessons are set in...

We started back to homeschool this week! We didn't start until the middle of the week because...while we had organized and gone through stuff in the rest of our apartment...we'd put off organizing the homeschool room. So we started the week by organizing it and briefly had everything organized...and then got a bunch of books... Continue Reading →
This is the post where I let you know what did and didn't work for us of our curriculum choices this year. You can look back at THIS POST to see what we chose to use this school year. This school year was a wild ride with COVID, me teaching at a brick and mortar... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite posts to read on other homeschooling blogs is their posts on what curriculum they are using that year, and at the end of the year what did or didn’t work for them. So this is my post with our curriculum for the year. I have a 3 year old (preschool) and... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite homeschooling blog posts to read is a family's year in review where they let us know how the curriculum they chose for that year worked out for them. I feel that is a more meaningful review of a curriculum than that they chose it at the beginning of the year. You... Continue Reading →
https://smile.amazon.com/Magicians-Nephew-C-S-Lewis-ebook/dp/B085BVG548/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= After my scholarly reading...and with everything going on...I went for some lighter...more escapist reading this month. The first one was intentional...the second I stumbled upon... and haven't exactly finished. The first is the Magician's Nephew. I haven't read Narnia in a while and it's very comforting to me. If it's your first time through... Continue Reading →
Ari finished All About Reading level 2 this week! We started with All About Reading level Pre back when Ari was 2.5. We took it very slow and she loved it. We tried a different learning to read curriculum when she was 4 and while it was fine...about halfway through she begged to go back... Continue Reading →
