"What does your typical homeschool day look like?" That is one question I have always found difficult to answer because every day is usually just a little different than the one before! One of the benefits of homeschooling is the flexibility it offers. Homeschool families can select curriculum, resources, and routines that work best for their unique situation. Regardless of whether … [Read more...] about Homeschool Day in the Life
MathScore and EduFighter Review
Although we have had the opportunity to use other math drill programs since we first used MathScore, it still stands out. As I wrote in an earlier review, MathScore is a drill program that’s all about math, instead of being mathematical entertainment. Entertainment is fine in its place, but a good, solid math drill program that goes from 1+1=2 right up to quadratic equations is worth … [Read more...] about MathScore and EduFighter Review

We are also using this atlas to compliment Around the World … [Read more...] about National Geographic Student Atlas of the World -Third Edition
Easy Grammar – Grade 2 Review
I was given this product to review. No other compensation was awarded. All opinions are my own! Last year I wrote a review of Primary Language Lessons. I love its gentle, Charlotte Mason type approach to language arts, but the one thing that it doesn't have is lots of practice for the different topics that are introduced. Most of the time when I want something a little different than what I … [Read more...] about Easy Grammar – Grade 2 Review

Honey for a Teen’s Heart Book Review
Honey for a Teen's Heart is more than just a list of books you can pick from for your teen. As the tagline says, it's about using those books to communicate with your teen. When we see our children growing and changing seemingly overnight and adulthood and independence are fast approaching, it's important to talk about big issues together. I'm at that state with my twelve-year-old daughter and … [Read more...] about Honey for a Teen’s Heart Book Review
Academic Challenge Cup Review
Are you looking for a fun way to fight the "summer slide?" Do your kids like the play computer games? That's not even a question! My high schooler likes to play games, of course. Last summer she couldn't stop playing this one. I am talking about The Academic Challenge Cup, a game by the Critical Thinking Company. This game reviews core knowledge in nine subject areas. What a nice way to … [Read more...] about Academic Challenge Cup Review

The Homeschool Mother’s Prayer Journal Review
I was given The Homeschool Mom's Prayer Journal to look over, use, and review. I was drawn to the journal on its name alone, because I, like many other Mums, wanted to cover our homeschool in prayer. Let's face it, picking our curriculum, setting up schedules, helping our children meet goals, and face challenges isn't for the faint of heart. It's way too easy to become overwhelmed and forget the … [Read more...] about The Homeschool Mother’s Prayer Journal Review
Little House in the Big Woods Lapbook
When we first started homeschooling eight years ago, the Little House series was number one on our list for our read aloud time. After the first few chapters of the first book we were all hooked! Nothing could tear us away from Laura Ingalls and discovering all her adventures. Looking back to those early years when Laura Ingalls and her family journeyed with us through our first two years of … [Read more...] about Little House in the Big Woods Lapbook
Draw Write Now
I have an artist in my home. He draws all the time. Drawing helps him communicate and express his creativity. But he is not a big fan of handwriting practice. So when I found the Draw Write Now books I had hopes that this would get him more interested in handwriting lessons. And it has, because the Draw Write Now books incorporate drawing and handwriting into each lesson. Draw Write Now is a … [Read more...] about Draw Write Now
