Living, Loving and Learning Together
My daughter started high school in August, and she was so excited about all of the social events she planned to be involved in. What she did not think about was all of the school work and homework she would have. She has always been a good student and I never have to remind her [...]
February is known for Valentine’s Day. My children have already planned a party, made valentines and decorated our halls with paper hearts. February is also known for President’s Day a day we celebrate the past leaders of our country. But did you know that there are other fun things to learn and celebrate in February? [...]
It’s the beginning of 2012. We have decided to move our school year from January to December based upon our long term goals. This means a little bit of tweaking. The Boy will officially be a “high schooler” in March. Planned Curriculum for 9th Grader! (OMG!!!) We are following the scope & sequence of our [...]

For the homeschool family who has spent a child’s entire life sheltering them from worldly influences, college can be a scary place. Or, what about the family that needs the extra help of that older child ready to embark on the college [...]

Somehow it’s never become a reality, but in today’s unsettled business environment we are wondering if this option would be worth it to our family in the long-run. As I am always the “have to know all the details” [...]

He does know that he wants to do something with children and not be sitting in an office. This may mean college. As his [...]

So let’s begin… Individual Studies The Boy will continue his studies in Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra. He has been skipping many lessons, so we may be getting closer to Algebra sooner than we thought! For Science we will [...]
Can you believe that it is October already? It’s one of our favorite months: Pumpkins, fall leaves, foggy mornings, crisp evenings, pumpkin spice lattes and Halloween! There are many events in October that lend themselves to rich learning experiences. This is in no means an exhaustive list. Many of these events are scheduled within our [...]
