Friends, I am so excited to share with you this brand new set of calendars for you and your children: On This Day in American History! For the past two years, I have had an idea rolling around in my brain to create a calendar for each month that highlights one event from American History. …
For the past 5+ years, Lingua Angelica has sat patiently on my school shelf. I ordered it years ago when my oldest girl was in the 5th grade, but we have never gotten to the implementation stage of this simple and beautiful Latin supplement. If you are not familiar, Lingua Angelica is a Christian Latin …

Please download it and enjoy with your family! The original post remains the same except where noted. My children and I are keeping it simple this Christmas Season. We are …
Creating a lovely homeschool environment starts with what you place on the walls. Instead of decorating for looks alone, homeschool wall posters can reinforce Bible memory work, math facts, geography, history timelines, vocabulary, and the topics your children are studying this year. Over the past 16 years, I’ve gathered a huge list of educational posters, …
When I think about my current life, it is just bizarre to me that I homeschool. And what’s even more bizarre? I teach my children Latin. I was the pre-children person that looked upon homeschooling with disdain because, well, why would you do that? Homeschoolers are weird people, as I once believed. Side story: I used to …
