It sounds completely BONKERS but I feel a freakish amount of joy by getting new curriculum and planning our upcoming schoolyear. I am so excited about our upcoming year. This will be our FIFTH year homeschooling! How did that happen?! It has gone by so fast in so many ways – and I can honestly …
I decided a couple months ago that I was going to switch things up a little bit. Ever since we started homeschooling, I’ve been doing a monthly update on all of our happenings. I’ve really enjoyed doing it and looking back on things. However, it was just becoming a little too much work for me …
We didn’t decide to homeschool until Jacob was in kindergarten, so Sarah has been my guinea pig when it comes to preschool. We do “preschool” for two years. Year 1 is all about basic basics.

Another month has completely flown by! We deviated from our schedule a little bit this month and I have no regrets about it! We took a week off to do some projects around the house and it was nice for all of us to recharge a little bit. First up – JACOB! Language Arts This …
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 …
