Easy Hands-On History Activities for Kids

April 13, 2017 //  by Lauren Hill//  3 Comments

Before our school year started, I knew it was going to be a bit of a trying year for me.  We started school in July as we usually do, and I had just found out I was pregnant with our #5. Morning (all day) sickness and I were not friends at this point. While we …

Homeschooling Outside the Curriculum Box

Why We Homeschool Outside the Curriculum Box

June 12, 2016 //  by Lauren Hill//  21 Comments

I originally published this post in June of 2012, which was almost 3 years into our homeschool life.  Even though our opinions and preferences change over time, this train of thought has been a mainstay for me as a homeschooling mom. In fact, I’m now convinced more than ever that homeschooling without a boxed curriculum …

How I Encourage Pretend Play in Our Home

February 8, 2016 //  by Lauren Hill//  1 Comment

Through the years, I’ve worked hard to encourage my children to use their imaginations.  I have some children who are extremely creative, and others who are more gifted in other areas. But regardless of how creative my children are, I’ve provided them with opportunity after opportunity to use the magnificent creative brains that God gave …

Why Imaginative Play is a Priority in Our Home

Why Imaginative Play is a Priority in Our Home

February 7, 2016 //  by Lauren Hill//  1 Comment

Thankfully with having 4 children, I realized early on that imaginative play has huge benefits.  While I create a boatload of worksheets and printable activities for us to use in our homeschool, they never trump pretend play. Imaginative play is a priority in our home. For many years, I felt like I wasn’t disciplined enough …
