I’m a big fan of Brandy Vencel and her blog Afterthoughts. She writes from right here beside us in real life, but encourages us to do our best, to keep pressing onward and upward. As a dear friend says, her posts sometimes have a sting, but it’s a friendly sting. The other day, she wrote a…
I love a good buffet, don’t you? Give me lotsa variety and the chance to take a little of everything, and I’m a happy camper! (And I can chow it DOWN, y’all. Just sayin’.) Today is gonna be like a buffet! We’re going to discuss a little of everything about homeschooling high school. It’s a…
You spent your summer planning. You did your research, shopped the sales, and cross-referenced all the books and materials you already had on hand. You have charts and sticky notes in all the right places. You’ve got fresh ideas and a fresh new approach. No kid has been blessed with such an amazing educational experience…
I don’t know Kay as well as I know some of the other ladies I’ve featured here in the Learning, Knowing, Creating Hobbies for Homeschool Moms series, but when I saw her newest hobby, I knew I had to invite her. Kay is a homeschooling mom and a piano teacher. Music is obviously already a…
Homeschooling high school — what does it look like? Well, let me show you! And while I do that, I’ll also add some commentary about what’s happening. You know, like on the DVD when you can watch the movie with the actors talking over top, telling you about every scene? That’ll be me! A Day…
We recently returned from a massive summer road-trip and are amazed at all our preschooler learned along the way. Learning through travel is not a novel concept – expanding your horizons happens automatically when you’re exploring all that a destination has to offer…like art and culture, history, science, different people and food… We hit cities…
I’m so happy to introduce you to Sarah Lashbrook today. I met Sarah on Instagram when a mutual friend asked us to join in curating an account for the encouragement of Charlotte Mason homeschool moms and their real, every day lives. That account @charlottemasonirl has been a lot of fun and the nine of us…
Depending on where you live, the “First Day of School” might be just around the corner! And you know what that means. It means that your Facebook and Instagram feeds are going to be full of cute pictures of kids holding printed signs that say “First Day of __ Grade!” There will be new clothes, new…
As homeschool moms, we often fantasize about getting time alone. It can be so hard to be surrounded by our peeps day after day after day after day after day. It seems like life is always loud and chaotic, there is usually an argument to referee or a kid to discipline, and someone invariably spills…
In Plan Your Year, Pam teaches strategies for carefully thinking through your beliefs about education, the needs of your children, then the means to pull those things together into an achievable, cohesive plan. Writing goals for my children was not something I’d ever done before in our homeschool. Likely this is because I’m not personally…
