The week between Christmas and New Year’s is always a huge planning week for me – planning our next semester of school, finding a few new meals to add to our dinner routine, re-assigning chores to the kids, and all of those other things that moms organize and do. Also included in that list is …
Several years ago when I had only littles, I stumbled upon a message board for moms with many young children. A frequent discussion that caught my eye was establishing helpful habits as a mom. Do you remember message boards? They were so fun! Message boards were around before the days of modern blogs. Circa 2008ish. This …
I have a homeschooling mom confession: ♥ I am not having a Pinterest Perfect Crafty Christmas here at the Hill House. ♥ But aren’t homeschooling moms supposed to do everything perfectly? And even worse is that I’m a blogger. Bloggers are supposed to have beautiful pictures of their beautiful homes and their beautiful children …
Several weeks ago, I published a video where I described what our current Bible time looks like each day. Right now, I have a 5th grader, 3rd grader, 1st grader, and Early Kindergartner. While many of you emailed and said you loved the video, you wanted to know what our homeschool Bible time looked like …
My children love to play games – board games, outside games, card games, anything! We’ve been fortunate to stumble upon several tried-and-true card games that we play frequently. Occasionally, we take a morning off from school and just play card games. Or my kiddos and my husband might play a few hands on a rainy …
A picture is worth a thousand words, right? If that’s the case, then a video must be worth a million! 🙂 I’ve written quite a bit about planning simple unit studies for your Preschooler-2nd grader, and I know how nice it is to see a video example. In this new video, you’ll see how I …
I’m often asked how to get started in very simple unit studies for the Preschool to 2nd grade crowd. Because simple unit studies are an important part of learning in our homeschool, I’d love to share with you everything I’ve learned about them over the years! Before reading any further, please make sure you hop …
Are you a fan of unit studies? Unit Studies are an integral part of our homeschool life. We absolutely love them! I didn’t even know what a unit study was until our second year of homeschooling. Since discovering them, however, we’ve used them for a variety of topics. I won’t go into why unit studies are …
When I was a brand spankin’ new homeschool mama, I was pretty overwhelmed. And exhausted. My oldest was starting Kindergarten, and I also had a 3 year old, and a 16-month old. And my #4 was due in November. It was an extremely busy season in my life. I think back to those early years …
My children and I have always loved nursery rhymes. In a time of electronics and over-committed schedules, I believe it’s more important than ever to teach your children nursery rhymes! Nursery Rhymes connect us to a more simple way of life. They expose my children to vocabulary they wouldn’t naturally encounter (ex: ‘Jack fell down …
Woo hoo! It’s the beginning of the week and that means I’m back with a new video! This week, I am sharing how I plan our homeschool week. Because so many completed the reader survey, I am able to determine which topics you’d most like to hear about. Homeschool planning topped the list! There are …
