Here in North Carolina, we seem to be taking a break from winter, as our high temperatures have been 65-70 the past few days! North Carolina is like that, however. One week it is 70 degrees, and the next week our pipes are trying to freeze. Go figure. If it still feels like winter in …
I’ve mentioned several times how much our family has enjoyed using the Names of Jesus Advent Chain during our Bible time in the mornings. I can hardly believe how many Names of Jesus my children (and I!) have memorized by studying our Name each day and then reviewing those from previous days. Because I’m always on …

My 5 year old is a very beginning reader. He’s still working on nailing down all of the letter sounds and I noticed that he also needs some work with rhyming. Two of my three girls were later readers and one glaring similarity with both of them was their inability to rhyme well (or at all). …
Thankfully, I discovered the joy of copywork early in our homeschool life. In addition to handwriting practice, copywork allows my children to remember and internalize information in yet another way. Repetition in the form of oral drill work, flash cards, and copywork make for a solid way to learn information. If you and your children …
