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. It was engaging for Jacob (and me!), the depth of information was excellent, AND, most importantly, it left me with so …
Thoughts this Winter Oh this winter. As I am writing this, we are in the thick of what feels like MADNESS, so I will try and reflect on the whole winter and not just our current status! This winter treated us really well in many ways. We are still, miraculously, where I kind of wanted …
I am playing catch up with our school reviews – but in November we finished our first history unit of the year! We are in the final year of The Good and the Beautiful history courses! After this year, we will repeat the course cycles again and I am already getting excited to repeat them! …

*** Oh my goodness, I cannot believe how far behind I am in our curriculum review. It’s on the list of things to do! But we finished this unit clear back in June and so I will do my best to document all of the goodness! *** In June, we finished our third unit of …
Thoughts this Summer Oh boy, this summer has been a doozy. There has been so much going on both in reality and in my head {do I sound insane by saying that?}. What I mean is that there has just been a lot of thoughts floating around and I am just plain tired. June was …
Thoughts this Spring If we were as productive this whole year as we were this spring – we would be SOLID! When I did our schoolhouse review for the winter, I was pretty discouraged. We were so far behind where I wanted to be pretty much all across the board. But luckily this spring, doctors …
I am a behind in LIFE and that includes reviewing the amazing curriculum we have been using. But at the end of March we finished our second unit of history for the year from The Good and the Beautiful and it was so much fun! I loved that this unit included the history of Africa …
