“So, when are you going to enroll her in mother’s morning out?” That’s the question I heard most often when our eldest was just a little more than a year old. It’s also the question the Lord used to work on my heart about homeschooling. So I am sharing how to homeschool preschoolers. Because so often I hear, “I can’t homeschool because of the little
Homeschooling Multiple Ages: Curriculum Choices
This last week I’ve shared our curriculum choices for 2013-2014 from kindergarten to high school. If you missed any of our individual plans, you can find a list at the bottom of this post.

Celebrating a Good End Plus New Semester Plans
I realized, as I was planning our next unit of Tapestry of Grace, that I had not shared our holiday unit celebration. A unit celebration brings closure to our studies and boosts us on to further learning in the next unit.
