If your homeschool is like ours, there are several topics that you and your children study and learn about each year. We usually study the Pilgrims each year in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. It is a great opportunity to study American history! Many years ago (2013!), I published a worksheet packet focusing on …
Columbus Day is observed the second Monday of October each year here in the United States of America, and that date is quickly upon us! I created this set of Christopher Columbus coloring pages 7 years ago for my then little girls to color. During most of our history read alouds in those younger days, my …
Columbus Day is observed the second Monday of each October here in the United States of America. And It is quickly upon us!

In younger grades, we study and memorize the 50 states, learn about our Founding Fathers, and study our U.S. Presidents, just to name a few!

Despite our homeschool having a heavy U.S. History foundation, I realize that I have very few U.S. History …

Over the next few weeks, my children will be working on lots of Thanksgiving-themed activities including this set of Pilgrims at Plymouth copywork! This post was originally published in October …
This week, my youngest daughter and I visited Lindley’s Mill, North Carolina, where a small Revolutionary War battle took place. My g-g-g-g-g-g grandfather (yes, that’s 6), a Major, lost his life in that battle in September 1781. The facts of the Battle of Lindley’s Mill are just fascinating. The Patriot governor of North Carolina, along …
Our family is so proud and blessed to live in the United States of America. We do not take our freedoms for granted – to homeschool our children, to read the Bible without fear of persecution, to elect our representatives, to speak freely. We are grateful for our constitutional republic! In order for my children …
My children and I study various aspect of Western Civilization each year. As a result, we have many books about the early Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. This neat look at the Roman Colosseum is an informative non-fiction book that is often pulled off of the shelf! If you’d like to see more of how I …
For many years, I loved and used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. We created so many dear-to-my-heart memories around those books, including this inspiring story about Roger Williams.
