I started blogging about my watercolour painting in October of 2006. I started my “mommy blog” in June 2008. I blog about homeschooling, c

Larry likes to mix things up a bit with our family devotions, and we’re changing things up again! It’s a very exciting transition though, and very homeschooly – if there’s such a word! We’ve read through all of Genesis and Exodus over the past half-year, dug around in a story bible, drawn lots of pictures, and now we’re going to start again in the creation week with 106 Days of Creation Studies from Simply Charlotte Mason.

As a first-time homeschooling mother of a young scholar who’ll be officially entering grade one this fall, I sometimes wonder when all the various language arts skills will pull together and ‘click’.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it…well, several times. I’m not naturally an arts and crafts mommy. When I think about whipping out the art supplies my first thought is – mess. My second thought – what will we make? My poor hands-on-learner longs for art, passionately and we don’t do enough. I think that’s about to change! Our family recently received a copy of Brenda Ellis’ Artistic Pursuits, Grades K-3 Book One, An Introduction to the Visual Arts and I’m in love! Into
