Let’s Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast

Though winter weather is upon us in Texas, we will always make room for ice cream. This cold, sweet treat just happens to be the center of Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day which is observed on the first Saturday of February. Over the years, I’ve found a few ways to incorporate ice cream into

Celebrating Special Days to Increase Excitement in Homeschool

  My children love homeschooling. However, since they began their school endeavors in public school, there are some aspects that they miss. One of the things that my children miss about public school is the special events such as wacky hair day and classroom parties. We started celebrating holidays by having our own parties and

7 Simple Learning Tools to Give Your Child So They Can Learn Anything in the World

God has a plan for my children that He hasn’t fully revealed to me. To prepare my children for that unknown future without any revelation of what education will be required, I have chosen to give my children tools of learning.

Using Literature to Teach Addition

Many of us use a curriculum to teach math, but using literature to teach math can be a great teaching tool. I am beginning this math literature series with some of the best books to teach addition. With my love for literature and math, it only makes sense to combine the two so I have

Winter Olympics Reading Challenge

I am a voracious reader. I read so much that I may have a problem. I spend as much time reading as an Olympic athlete does training for their event. From morning devotionals, magazines, blogs, classics, to bestsellers, I am devoted to my reading time.   In honor of the anniversary of the First Winter

Cozy Winter Read Alouds

One of my very favorite homeschooling traditions has mostly to do with planning. I LOVE to plan our reading list. I myself would rather spend any and all free time (and some that isn’t so free) with my nose in a book. I am more than happy to carve out precious time in our school

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. He took charge and told everyone he wanted to piece the puzzle together without looking at the box! None of his siblings were on board with the idea. They

Solutions for Struggling Spellers

I was recently talking to my husband about spelling in our homeschool and how sometimes it is a real struggle. For some of my girls, the letters just seem to flow like they are on stage at the National Spelling Bee. Others need a little more guidance, and I find myself praying for the ability

Bundle Up with Hot Cocoa

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

Celebrate National Bird Day

National Bird Day was January 5, 2020. You can celebrate birds this month with a mini-study about one of God’s amazing creatures. Here are some ideas to get you started. First, begin with Scripture. Ask your children if they think that birds are mentioned in the Bible. Then, challenge them to find as many Scripture

Creative Play for National Spaghetti Day

One of our favorite silly days to celebrate in January is National Spaghetti Day. Each year, I gather up my cool kids for some fun art, a little cooking lesson, and of course a tasty spaghetti meal. In preparation for this delightful day, I thought I’d share my favorite things to do for this wacky

How Exposure to the Arts Can Enrich Your Homeschool

  This month, my daughter will be dancing in our town’s annual Christmas Festival presentation of The Nutcracker Suite.  This is her fifth time participating in this ballet.  Last spring, she also acted in a play based on the novels Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea.  Both of those experiences opened the door
