Christian homeschooling integrating Classical and Charlotte Mason principles
I hear a blood-curdling scream rip through our home. With horror rolling in the pit of my stomach, I dart into the family room to see Levi holding a pick-up stick… in his eye. Trembling, I race to him, this miracle child that I thought I would never have, the one that places his nose […]
As we enter this season where we focus especially on thankfulness, we thought we’d share our favorite books, treats, and activities for making memories as a family. First, download these Thanksgiving Gratitude Printables! Favorite Thanksgiving books The Pilgrims of Plimoth (Aladdin Picture Books). I love the early colonial language used in this account, which also […]
It has no eyes. It has no legs. It cannot eat. Its sole purpose is to become a mummy for its offspring. It is the Evergreen Bagworm. So began Stephen’s first 4-H speech… Quite enthralling. Have you ever seen one of these thingiemajiggers? It’s not part of the tree. There’s a gross […]
What happens when a little boy gets hold of the camera. …if only I, too, would open my eyes to see and appreciate all the little things. Yes, I just posted a picture of the toilet. Sorry y’all. Those boys convince me to do crazy stuff. Even really embarrass myself. Photo Credits: David, Age 6, […]

It is advanced for a 2nd grader (he reads at about a 6th grade level), but he really enjoyed reading it and found it humorous even though […]
With the purchase of a clear vinyl tablecloth – and the printing, cutting and taping of a few of National Geographic’s Tabletop Maps – we now enjoy extended geography lessons at the dinner table. I think we are finally able to identify all the countries in Africa now, which is great for having this in […]
Three excited boys prepare to tour the LST-325 in the Cumberland River, Clarksville, TN. The LST-325 – a Landing Ship Tank, or amphibious vessel (I knew we’d get our memory work in there somehow! Ha!). This is the largest ship ever designed to place tanks, troops and cargo onto a hostile beach and then retract […]
For those who remember our days of putting together little bitty paper toys related to world history studies and more days of putting together little bitty paper toys (to build America City)… and more and more days of putting together little bitty paper toys (to make Bethlehem Village for Christmas and the empty tomb for Easter), […]
