Each year during the week before Thanksgiving, my children and I enjoy a unit study on the Pilgrims.

As a homeschooling mama, I have the privilege of creating a special type of December for my children. We aren’t forced to be 5 million places, if we don’t want to be. We can take it slow and have what I call “Christmas School.” The backbone of our Christmas School is living books. These are …

With the arrival of summer here in North Carolina, comes ice cream. Lots and lots of ice cream! For my birthday a few weeks ago, my sweet boy took me on a “date” for ice cream. I drove and he paid. So sweet! And yes, that is a big ol’ waffle cone of vanilla in …
Over the years, we’ve acquired several books that focus on the Easter season and they have become our favorites! In my experience, I’ve had difficulty finding books about Easter and The Resurrection that are theologically sound. But don’t be dismayed, because there are several out there! ♥ Make sure you look through all of the …
