It is hard to believe, but the Hill House is wrapping up our 12th year of homeschooling. Mamas, I know it is cliche, but it goes by so quickly. Have you ever heard the saying “The days are long but the years are short?” Yes. I can verify that this is true. I have five …
Hello Friends! I’m back with another Bullet Point Post as these are easy for me to keep up. This week has felt long as there have been many interruptions to our typical school days. I find that if I am out of the house for any reason at all (orthodontist appointments, running to the store at …
Hello Friends! Happy Friday! Here’s a glance at what our homeschool Friday was like, Bullet Point-style: Schooled the whole day. Whew. Fridays are usually long for us, sadly. Planned my weekend – this is a busier weekend for me. I have very little margin in my life, so when the occasional “extra” is thrown in there …
I thought I’d try something new today. Because my feet run all day long from the moment they hit the floor each morning, I rarely have time to write a more Old School Blogging-Type post. Old School Blogging posts are more of a look at what we worked on during the week in our homeschool, …
Hello Friends! Over the next few days, I’m publishing my yearly homeschool curriculum plans. I’ll publish our plans in this order: Early Kindergarten, 5th Grade, 7th Grade, 9th Grade, and 11th Grade.

It’s back! The Homeschool Attendance Record for 2021-2022 is here! I can tell that homeschool moms are starting to mentally switch over to next year due to the many emails that are trickling in regarding the attendance record. We just finished up our school year on Friday, so my thoughts are starting to roll for …
Yesterday, I finished teaching my 11th year of homeschool! It always feels so good to wrap up that last day of school. My children think they’re the happiest that school is over for the year, but we all know that no one is ever happier than the homeschool mama. 😉 I enjoy teaching my children …
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 would like to invite you to a new series here at Mama’s Learning Corner: In Our Homeschool. A few times each month, I’ll post a bit about our school week. It might be a project we’re working on, our a book we’re reading, a field trip, or maybe a helpful homeschool hint. In Our …
Like most homeschool families, our homeschool wall space is at a premium. We are very blessed to have an 8-foot white board, two large windows, and several book cases in our school room. While we are very grateful for the room itself, not to mention the board and windows and bookcases, it does present a …
