Autumn Thoughts Autumn for school is simply the best. It is a fresh start and that is always wanted (and needed!). I am amazed constantly at how the kids are growing up. Each year they get more and more independent which is exciting but I know time is going by so quickly. This season I …
Our 2024 – 2025 school year has officially begun! Geez, I love these kiddos. Jacob – Seventh Grade Sarah – 4th Grade Benjamin – 2nd Grade Lydia – Kindergarten One Blessed Mama
This last week we had our annual Back to School Feast. This tradition is so sweet to me. We are entering our eighth year of homeschooling and enjoyed our ninth back to school feast. I am so very grateful for this time I get to spend with my children. Some days it is hard. But …
We squeezed this spring piano recital in the night before summer! We had it planned for weeks before but life just kept pushing it off. But these two did WONDERFUL! They are really different piano students but they are both doing really well. And Ben was THRILLED that this was the last one he is …

It has been such a fun way to learn something new but also set the day apart as …

I cannot say enough good about the US Constitution and Government course. In fact, it may just be my *favorite* course we’ve ever done from The Good and the Beautiful. I truly loved it.
