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.

It took us much longer then anticipated to get to our Benjamin Franklin study but I have a little boy who is very … [Read more...] about Benjamin Franklin Lap-Pak by Homeschool in the Woods
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. Through it God has made himself known and we have the privilege of making Him known to those small people he has entrusted to us. 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

When my daughter was approaching her fifth birthday, she begged to learn Chinese. At the time, I really struggled to find resources that were geared to non-native speakers.
