Mamas Learning Corner
Creative Learning Ideas. Worksheets and Printable Activities.
I am on a mission to make my life more simple – our homeschool, our schedule, my WAHM life, keeping my home. And today I’m starting out with one of the biggies: simplifying our meals, snacks, and grocery shopping. As a homeschool mama, some days I feel like I spend all day in the kitchen. …
I’ve been thinking a lot about our homeschool life the last few days and weeks. The end of the year always brings a time of reflection, trying to determine what was successful and what wasn’t so hot. As I think back over our days and months of this school year, there’s one theme that is …
This week’s list of children’s books on sale is dynamite! We own at least 4 on this list, and they are ones that we go to over and over again (Alexander! The best!) (This post contains affiliate links. See my disclosure policy for more information.) As I mentioned last week, we’ve built a nice library …
“Mom, I’m not going to do my jobs this morning!” “I don’t want to brush my teeth!” “[Insert child’s name], I have told you FOUR times to pick up those toys before school starts!” Surely I am not the only homeschooling mother that has the occasional bad morning. Oh, you know the kind. Where children …
This week, we are having a big time reading Patricia Polacco’s The Bee Tree! (This post contains affiliate links.) Oh the marvelous bee conversations we’ve had!

My 4-year-old daughter was playing with the the Orchestra Cards this morning and asked if there were any orchestra coloring pages that she could color. Well, no, there’s not. But if you give me a few minutes, there will be! I love it when my kiddos give me great ideas of printables and worksheets that …
In case you missed the previous post, I’m going to highlight the places I find the most deeply discounted books on sale for our homeschool. It’s important to me that our home is filled with high-quality books (in addition to library books), but we can’t afford to buy them at regular prices. So as I …
Long before homeschooling was ever on my radar, it was important to me for books to be a central part of our home. I have such wonderful memories of my own mama reading to me when I was little, and I wanted the same for my children. But books are expensive! Despite our limited budget, …
What is it about match cards that children love so much? My girls just adore them, which is why you see them so often here at Mama’s Learning Corner! (This post contains affiliate links.) Off and on throughout this school year, the kids and I have listened and read The Story of the Orchestra. My …
If you read homemaking/parenting/mama blogs at all, you know that meal planning is a hot topic! Freezer cooking, crock pot cooking, and once-a-month shopping trips are discussed in great detail. Don’t you just love the resources available for a mama on the internet? It really is a vast sea of knowledge and experience. I adore …
We are enormous fans of chalk pastels here at the Hill House! I’ve written several times about how EASY they are for a mama to incorporate in her homeschool week. So I’m very happy to share with you that Hodgepodge is having a huge 50% off sale from April 13-15 on all chalk pastel ebooks! …
