We’re in the middle of our second year in a row in the Middle Ages. History is always our biggest area of book-collecting–I am always on the lookout for good…
Circle Time, Morning Basket, Morning Time…or to us, homeschool Morning Meeting–they’re all the same idea, just maybe executed in slightly different ways. In preschool, you might see the teacher reciting…
Our first week back at school in the new year was, well…let’s just say it stunk. Monday, Tuesday, and then again on Wednesday just felt like we had picked up…
I love the new year. All the hopes and possibilities, and goal setting is a common theme everywhere you look. I love that. But I also love the beginning of…
Maple sugaring at home had never crossed my radar. But December is full of ideas, inspiration, and bustling about. But when it’s all over, sometimes it can feel like all…
A couple of weeks ago, I did a Periscope about my kids and what they do for chores. (If you aren’t on Periscope yet, you should totally look into it…it’s…
September is like the “new” New Year in a way. It just seems like the appropriate time to restructure what’s not working in your daily routines, revamp your home systems and…

There’s been a lot of work going on in the school room, but not so much with actual school. I have yet to order anything and I still have lots…
