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. I was very blessed to realize early on in our homeschool life that we did not have to do traditional school, especially during the holidays. Whew! What a relief! With …
Hello Friends, and welcome back to Thrifty Thursday! High inflation and the country’s current economic woes cause almost all of us to cut corners, and that includes our homeschool budgets. Since many of us are now looking for cheaper ways to homeschool, I am starting a new type of post here at Mama’s Learning Corner: …
Even though we are using a formal textbook-style curriculum this year, I’m not super rigid in completing all of the book. Part of the freedom of homeschool is not having to complete all the parts of any curriculum. I can choose what is the best fit for my children, and then leave the rest. It’s …
I’m so glad you have joined me for the Weekly Round-Up of Printable Pages! Each weekend, I highlight several quality printables from around a few of my favorite sites. Some printables are new, but I try to choose those that are from a few months back…just in case you missed them when they were first …
We’re working (and working…and working…) on learning multiplication facts here at the Hill House. I’ve brainstormed quite a bit and created several new multiplication worksheets and activities to help my 3rd grader work on memorizing these facts. But I’ll readily admit it is s-l-o-w going. These multiplication wheels will hopefully be a neat change of …
My girls are big pattern block fans! Whether we’re having school or having a day off, pattern blocks seem to make their way out of the container almost every day or two. They have been using this set of pattern block mats for the past few weeks and they love them! The small 1/4 page …

I’m downloading ours right now, so we haven’t played it yet. However, the website says this: In this activity, your child gets to “bake” cookies! One side …
My children adore match games – from preschool all the way up to my first grader! Besides the fact that they’re just plain fun, matching games have so much educational benefit. They are a frequent flyer during our homeschool week. Note that this post was originally published in July 2012. I would say it is …
Because I adore soup in the winter months, I have another soup recipe for you today! In fact, we eat soup at least once a week here at the Hill House when the weather is cool. Soup fills up the tummy, is usually fairly frugal, feeds a crowd with leftovers, and is a great way …
Friends, I am so excited about today’s post! Throughout our homeschooling years (5 years to date), a series of books has stayed tried and true for us – Usborne books! It all started with a book on Ancient Greece when my oldest son was in the 1st grade. I had no idea how this book would …
Our literature-based learning often lends itself to discovering other places and cultures, which is one of many reasons we love this method! Learning about Italy, Japan, and China have been some of our richest homeschool moments so far. Along with learning about other countries and their continents, we learn where those places are located on …
