We are now in our 5th year of homeschooling here in the Hill House. That’s so hard to believe on many levels! I could write a book on the many things I’ve learned in this 5 years. One of the biggest concepts? I can change curriculum during the middle of our homeschool year. I know …
A few weeks ago, I shared that the bulk of our learning during the Christmas Season involved living books and reading about the birth of Jesus.

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 …
It’s the time of year again – homeschool planning for the new year! (Actually, we just started our new school year yesterday so I’m past the planning point for this year!) Whether you’re starting out in your first homeschool year or working on your 5th like me, wrapping your brain around teaching school to a …
