With four kiddos ranging in age from 8 1/2 to a one year old, our homeschooling adventure has been just that, and adventure! I love it when I find a product that packs a punch with educational value, but is quick and easy to use. Word Wall Words from MRM Classroom Connections is just that. We had the opportunity to try out the first and second grade set of Word Wall Words. Kylie is currently in first grade, so this was just perfect for us. Word Wall Words sets come in a heavy duty cardboard

My sister has been having some issues with her younger son’s preK class. I wish she didn’t live on the opposite coast, since I could help her out more if she were nearer. She’s considering homeschooling again. She always finds interesting articles about it. A few days ago she sent me one called If You Want Real Reform, Homeschool from Just Enough and Nothing More . This had me thinking about homeschooling and why I made the choice I did. No one can tell me that it is easy to challenge a syst

Giving Birth to an Educational Philosophy

As a homeschooling mom, I have some advantages that many other moms don’t have. For example, for the past few weeks, moms have been getting up early to get their kids ready for school and on the bus. I, however, have been enjoying a few hours to myself in the mornings, getting things done while my kids sleep in. After all, since we’re homeschooling, I get to decide when we start the school year. Because we didn’t finish last year’s homeschooling session until mid-July, I wanted to make sure tha

Uncrustables also come in lots of great flavors like Peanut Butter & Grape Jelly – our favorite! – and also on whole wheat bread; Pea

Blogger Spotlight: Kristie from This Side of Eternity

Not too long ago I had some sample science/nature magazines sent to us {I’m not naming any names} and I later found Laurianna with a Sharpie marker blacking out text in places. I was a little upset with her at first, but she innocently looked at me and said, “Mom, they were saying the earth was billions of years old. That’s not true, so I was crossing it off.” A few weeks later, Nature Friend magazine showed up in our mailbox to review for the Homeschool Crew. The kid’s and I have loved po

{photo from here } T his fall we are working on a fun project for part of our home school. Our plan is to create something completely out of supplies that are salvage or left over items from construction or demolition that would normally be taken to the dump.
