During our morning time, we usually do some sort of devotional. This new year, I would like for us to begin to read the full Bible. One of my Christmas gifts was this commentary Bible by Dr. Tony Evans. It is meant to be read along with your Bible to help with understanding. It also … Continue reading Commentary Bible

Letting Them Experience
I can't call our homeschool a fully Charlotte Mason program but there are some concepts that I try to incorporate. I like the idea of spreading an "abundant and delicate feast" of ideas before my children. My problem is, after I set the feast, I tend to try to shove it down their throats. That … Continue reading Letting Them Experience

I thought now would be a good time for a post of ideas for when mom (or dad) gets sick. Over our homeschool years, there … Continue reading When Mom is Sick

There was one book, however, that I knew he would find grueling. That book was Jane Austen's Emma. Now, Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors but … Continue reading Out of The Silent Planet

Moving and inspiring, A Little Princess tells the story of imaginative and kind Sara, who faces hardship and cruelty with courage, poise, and … Continue reading A Little Princess

Lacking in artistic talent, I usually outsource this subject in one way or another. For this drawing we used … Continue reading Easy Gingerbread Drawing
