Please go see Lisa at The Little House that Grew for an opportunity to win a new book called Stories for the Homeschool Heart. Never mind that I just gave away a bookcase full of books – this sounds like a good one!

First Day of School ::: 2010

We had our first day of school on Tuesday.  The morning went well and everyone was eager to get back  to work.  I am happy with our schedule and it should serve us well this year.  After lunch a few “forgot” how quiet time works and the whining and complaining kicked in.  All in all […]

Homeschooling with Boys

I had a conversation recently with a friend who is homeschooling her 6 year-old son.  We were talking about different curriculum options and she was looking for my opinion – which I am always happy to give, sometimes even if I’m not asked!  My oldest is only 9 years-old so I am certainly no expert, […]

What we did – Part I

I wrote just a week or so ago about some new plans we were going to implement.  We were going to try some more child-led learning.  I even went so far as to say that we definitely weren’t unschoolers, but then I did some more thinking and some more reading and it seems to me […]
