May the 4th Be With You!I’m not normally very big on parties, decorating and such, but this is Star Wars y’all! I’ll take any opportunity to geek out with Star Wars.A few years ago I put together a Star Wars treat pack (from Sandy Toes and Popsicles) for NerdNerfer for Father’s Day and it was a BIG hit. Wasn’t it […]
Math seems to be one of the subjects that most homeschool moms dread, with science running a close second. I actually love math, though I didn’t love teaching it for the longest time. It wasn’t until I realized that math isn’t some secret code that needs to be deciphered that I began to enjoy math with my kids. It’s actually […]
Did you know that you can actually homeschool every grade for FREE, and still provide a quality education for your children? You can! However, it can be a little daunting to figure out what the best free resources are and how to put them together into a full year of lessons. That’s what I’ll be sharing with you throughout this […]
Memorial Day – it seems such an odd day to “celebrate.” The parties and barbecues and games are a stark contrast to the somber remembrance of lives lost.Over the years the true meaning of Memorial Day has been lost in the excitement of a 3 day weekend and the celebration of the beginning of summer.I want my children to understand […]
I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew. It’s no secret that I adore history, but not the boring, dry textbook kind. Living history is where it’s at folks, and these amazing Heroes of History biographies are a fabulous way to bring history to life. We were able to choose a book for this review, so I choose […]

What’s Included The Beginner Level, Art […]
The thought of using a scientific calculator in your homeschool can be a little intimidating! All of those strange symbols and keys . . . whew! Sure, it has an instruction booklet, but it might as well be in a foreign language for all the help it gives. It’s one thing to know what a button does, it’s quite another to […]
I am fascinated by court cases and evidence and investigation. TV shows like Blue Bloods, Law and Order, and Matlock have always been very appealing to me. Perhaps because I have a strong sense of seeing fair justice served, or maybe because I am simply in awe of how attorneys can draw out the truth (or, in some cases, manipulate […]
