Cozy Winter Read Alouds

50 Ideas for Community Service: A Homeschool Helping Hand

I handed my children a 500-piece puzzle, stepped back, and waited in anticipation to see what would happen. To my surprise, my son wanted a challenge.

The holidays are over, but the temperatures are still cold and what better way to warm up than with hot cocoa! My kiddos love hot cocoa, popcorn, and movie days (in pajamas of course); it’s a great way to make some relaxing memories and find a new family favorite movie. To jazz up hot cocoa

Run for Cover; It’s National Hat Day

Whether you call them hats, caps, lids, chapeaus, or any of the many other commonly recognized terms, head coverings are one of the oldest human accessories that are still widely used today.
