On this last day we’ve settled into a routine. But you know what’s going to happen. It will happen. I must warn you. You get back in a routine and then you have one of those days. The days you just want to punt. When a team punts in a football game, they give up [...]
Photo credit: Kendra @ Habits for a Happy Home Today I’m sharing with you our simple secret for success in getting back into a routine.

I’m continually surprised at the type of questions I get from those intrigued by our homeschool. And I love to encourage fellow homeschoolers. So, today, I share with you the most frequently [...]
Our homeschooling method is one that came about over time. Would it surprise you to know that our methods truly are a hodgepodge? One ingredient added. Another sifted in. Mixing slowly. Seasoning to taste. The roots of our method are classical. There’s a healthy dose of Charlotte Mason enrichment. Plus, the unit studies help us [...]
I love old books. By just looking at the covers of those pictured above, I can hear my grandparents’ voices in my mind. On those special nights my brother and I got to spend the night at their house, they would open a My Book House book or another favorite. Precious memories. So, even more [...]
I share the benefits of homeschooling all the time. But today, it’s the children making a top ten list of the reasons they like being homeschooled. Since we have five children, it only seemed fair and mathematical to ask them to each share two reasons. 1. School outside. {translation: enjoy those pretty days} 2. Takes [...]
