Choosing curriculum can be downright daunting, I know because by just choosing my favorites, I still had to come up with over 300 options when creating this quiz! What will work best for my kinesthetic child, my visual child, my auditory child? What is the best curriculum if you are on a budget? What secular […]

The Best Resource for Homeschool Geography
I have a confession, I kind of sidestepped the whole “geography” thing. In fact, I am not very consistent with Social Studies in general. Now before you judge me, hear me out. My kids are still relatively young and up until now, teaching them “facts” about history that doesn’t mean anything to them seems pointless. […]
How to Make a Timeline for Your Homeschool
Timelines have long been used as a visual representation of the bigger picture. They help our kids see where events have happened and how that fits in with other important people or moments in history. Back when we were kids we used to have our timeline filling one of our homeschool room walls and would […]
Homeschooling with 5 Kids: What a Typical Day Looks Like
I always chuckle to myself when people ask me what a typical homeschool day looks like with 5 kids, mainly because it is anything but typical. There are many homeschoolers out there that are far more structured than I am. They can clearly tell you their routine or schedule and lay it all out like […]
How to Use Lapbooks in Your Homeschool
Do you use lapbooks in your homeschool? For the longest time I didn’t even know what a lapbook was, which is crazy because I know now that we did them as kids being homeschooled. Once I did learn what they were, I thought they were just too much work. Who has time for all that […]

Charlotte Mason Canadian Social Studies K-5
I have a problem. I live in Canada where history is different from what most traditional curriculum (written in the US) teaches. There are very few options for Canadians, the main one being Donna Ward, who has put together complete packages to help cover topics that are supposed to be taught up here in the […]
S2E4: What I am using for curriculum this year
I have a confession, I am a curriculum hoarder. Ask my husband, he’s ready to lose his mind over the amount of books I have in my basement. But I have (what I feel is) a valid excuse… I am also a curriculum reviewer. Companies send me curriculum to try with my kids and review […]
History Curriculum for Hands on Learners
I’m going to just take a moment to state that I dislike social studies, I always have. Back when I was being homeschooled it was my least favorite subject. In high school I barely passed. I found it uninteresting and just rote facts to memorize. The maps all kind of blended together and the dates […]
