Basic Drawing Skills: Six Weeks of Lesson Ideas
Thanks to homeschooling, I am slowly-but-surely learning how to draw (among many other things that I’ve learned alongside my children). This is a big feat for someone who has only drawn free-body diagrams (physics) and stick figures (not physics). Here I’ll give you what has worked best for me, a beginner, in drawing. We’ll start […]

As we closed out the school year, he even told me that “if we don’t finish the WWII projects before summer, that’s okay. Because […]

GeoDrawing Camp
God’s grace is His ability to do in me (and through me) that which I cannot. So… I guess you could say I didn’t have much of an excuse when the director of our homeschool community said that she needed camp leaders for a practicum. Believe me, I could have given some excuses, like… …my […]
Down to the river…
A mother’s journal entry on March 12, 2012: “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” -Jeremiah 33:3. My son chose this as his favorite Bible verse at the beginning of this school year. And after months of deep questioning and analysis on his […]
