Christian homeschooling integrating Classical and Charlotte Mason principles
My apologies to those who follow on Facebook… But some things just have to be said more than once. Like that whole story about how I’m not a perfect mom… A mom that does NOT strive to win the gourmet-cook-of-the-year award. It is TRUE. FOR REAL. So… this week, I recount a few of my best BE […]
Homeschoolshare is one of our favorite places to find lapbook and unit studies for our homeschool. Check out this Ancient Rome Lapbook with Study Guide!
We’ve made a few simple updates to our Essentials student practice notebook, and… it’s working! I thought I’d share what we’re doing in case others may find it useful… (or muse that it’s taken me this long to figure out something so simple…) All of the reference master charts are in page protectors (for durability) […]

In our lives this week… We played a Ten Commandments File Folder Game. (Do you know what it’s like when you picture something in your mind, and then when you implement it, it just seems utterly ridiculous? Our Ten Commandments game ended up that way, mainly because my oldest is starting to mature beyond my […]
Once upon a time… in a land far, far away… there was this woman… who worked for an oil company… as an engineer rotating offshore… There she met her knight in shining armor… who has since worked in many more lands far, far away… For the past year, Gary has worked in the […]
As we embark on the study of touchy topics like taxonomy and Greek mythology, we sometimes find ourselves asking, how am I seeking to “know God and make Him known” through such things?
