At the beginning of the school year, I budget quite a bit of our homeschool money for crafts, markers, crayons, and art supplies. My children know that they are welcome to any of those supplies at any time (as long as they clean up when they’re finished!). I’ve noticed that my little girls – ages …
I’m so glad you’re following along with me in my mission to make my life more simple. We’re heading into our last week of school here at the Hill House, and this is always a productive time for me to reflect on what has worked this past year and what has not. This week, I’m …

The online homeschooling community is so giving, isn’t it? Each year, bloggers post what curricula they are using, why they’re choosing said curricula, and any helpful hints for the coming school year.

When I plan school for the year, I make sure that I include planning lots of educational activities for my girls (ages 7, 5, and 3 1/2). In my opinion, planning what curriculum or unit study were going to work on is only half the battle. Planning independent educational activities for my girls requires thought …
