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 …
Even though I’ve only posted a few sets of printables to go along with our literature-based unit studies (we’re using Five In A Row mostly), we’re on our 5th book. And it has been one of our favorites so far! In fact, we stretched this book over two weeks because my girls wanted to read …

My 6 year-old-daughter has finally turned the corner with reading! (…and all the mamas cheer!) We can finally move past CVC words and the most simple sight words and work on some more challenging words. My First Grader seems to be a very hands-on visual learner. As I brainstormed about another way we could …
As a homeschooling mother, I have several books that I consider must-haves. I only wish I had found them all in my early days of homeschooling!
