Choosing math curriculum has got to be one of the hardest parts of homeschooling. Okay, actually doing math lessons every day is probably harder! But it's difficult to keep from thinking that if we only had a better/different/new curriculum all our math woes would be gone.

The Well Trained Mind Book Review
I have been homeschooling for 10 years now. When I first thought about beginning this journey I was about six months pregnant with baby number three, had a three-year-old at home, and a six-year-old in first grade at our local public school. Homeschooling was not going to be the popular choice in my world, and at the time I only knew two homeschoolers. Needless to say I was totally out of my … [Read more...] about The Well Trained Mind Book Review
Benjamin Franklin Lap-Pak by Homeschool in the Woods
We were given a copy of the Benjamin Franklin Lap-Pak earlier this year to try out. I was pretty excited about this because, as you probably know, I’m a huge Homeschool in the Woods (HSITW) fan.

Homeschool Bible Studies
The most important subject we will cover in our homeschools is the Bible. Not that the Bible is simply a book to study, because it isn't, it is a relationship to uncover.

Of all the things we teach the one thing we are guaranteed will not to return void is the word of … [Read more...] about Homeschool Bible Studies

We would spend too much on … [Read more...] about Math Mammoth – A Review
