Early America History Trip: Northeastern Loop

We’ve finished 48 of 48. Talk about #scheduleinterrupted! When I started looking at our upcoming summer activities this summer, it dawned on me that we’d have to interrupt the end of our school year to go on the trip we’d been planning for this summer.

Art Appreciation through Art History

Our favorite reading curriculum and why

Flash back six years. In our first years of homeschooling, few things frightened me more than teaching a struggling child to read. (This fear was almost as bad as the thought that maybe our toddlers would never be potty-trained.) Although our first son had picked up on reading quickly, I fought feelings of inadequacy when, […]
