Another thing I am in complete denial about is that I will have a THIRD grader next year. When did that happen?! Jacob is growing up so fast. Every year I feel like I understand more and more about how he learns but we are also always making little tweaks, too. It is fun to …
{RECAP} March 2020 Schoolhouse
This March…well, what is there to say? We all feel it. Whatever it is we are feeling…we are feeling a lot nowadays. Despite all of the uncertainty, I was really grateful this month, that despite some extra activities for the kids and church attendance being put on hold, the vast majority of our lives stayed …
{RECAP} February 2020 Schoolhouse
I feel like we have really hit our stride this winter with the flow of our day. It has really been great and it is encouraging as we move forward. That is…until a couple months when I am sure we will have to adapt some more because that’s life. BUT…right now, we are doing pretty …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful History Year 2 – Vikings / Exploration / Pre-Columbian America
History is amazing. I never tire from learning about people and events from the past. And this unit was filled with learning and examples of individuals to admire as well as individuals to learn what not to do. What is covered? When I was first looking at this unit I thought it would feel kind …
{RECAP} January 2020 Schoolhouse
January was a bit of a flop for us with the exception of SCHOOL! We had a great month filled with learning! We are feeling a little cooped up…the wind is just brutal here and makes even short walks pretty unenjoyable. But we have high hopes for February! This month, though, I have had many …
{RECAP} December 2019 Schoolhouse

I was staying up super late every night trying to get some Christmas gifts done and I was definitely lacking energy and motivation during the day. So I decided to simplify. Best. decision. ever. …

{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful History Year 2 – Ancient Greece / Ancient Asia
We are checking off some units around here and we just finished our first history unit of the year! WOOT WOOT! History has always been my favorite subject. I love it. And I love all that I get to learn right alongside my kiddos. This is our second year doing history with The Good and …
{RECAP} October 2019 Schoolhouse
I have truly NO IDEA where October went! I feel like it flew by in a blink but it has been rewarding looking over all that we have learned this last month. We have been busy! Something that was a TOTAL game changer for us this month was our schedule. About a week into the …
