Rigorous study develops virtue in the student: the ability to act in accordance to what one knows to be right. Virtuous men or women can force themselves to do …
The Greeks and Roman made sure to teach their offspring not only practical skill for getting along; they made them memorize poetry commemorating the deeds of their mythological and historical heroes. They filled their children’s minds with “useless” information, by rote, with one purpose among others: to make them members of a people, to make …
About a year ago, I saw a headline that made me squeal in delight: Pelosi Rips Trump: ‘As the President fiddles, people are dying’… We had just studied Nero and the burning of Rome in our homeschool that same week! How timely! (No, I certainly did not agree with the headline, I was only interested in …
A couple of years ago, I shared why I teach Latin in our homeschool. Since then, I’ve received many questions, comments, and emails inquiring as to how to teach Latin – how to get started, how to choose curriculum, and what the end game looks like. The biggest concern aside from why is: what to do …

I hope you enjoy! ❤ During most homeschool weeks, my children are assigned memorization in one subject other than Latin. Latin has its own share of memorization …
Finally! I have reached the end of our homeschool curriculum choices for 2020-2021! With 5 children – 4 of whom are school-age – it takes awhile to list all of our curriculum picks for the year. My oldest boy, 10th grade, will be home with us for school this year and I could not be …

It’s that time of year when many homeschool bloggers share what curricula they will use in the coming school year. I always love taking a look at what other moms use in their homes! It helps me think through my own choices and evaluate why I am doing things the way that I do. This …
Through the years, I have homeschooled my children in several ways – unit studies, literature-rich studies, and the 4-year history rotation. At the root of all of it was a classical education, even though I veered from that a bit in the earlier years due to the New-and-Shiny Syndrome. As my oldest child aged and …
