I'm a homeschooling mom of three wonderful children living on a cattle farm in Central KY with my college sweetheart hubby. We're a Charlotte Mason family with bits and pieces of Classical education thrown in for good measure. We love unit studies, lapbooking, notebooking and lots of living literature! I personally enjoy encouraging and inspiring other homeschoolers.

  • 1950’s and 1960’s

    I hate to admit that our study of the 50’s and 60’s was a bit more boring than the 20th century thus far.  It’s partly because the gusto of school is waning as we see the end in sight, and partly because we covered most of this previously when we vacationed in Alabama last November….

  • Erosion In Progress

    We’ve been on the hunt for signs of erosion this month during our nature walks – and what a treasure we found!  KY is known to have several cave systems because of the large amount of limestone rock that makes up the foundation.  We also live near a large creek, have found many springs on…

  • Where I’ve Been

    As spring kicks into gear, so does our schedule.  And so does our time spent outdoors, which is why I’ve disappeared here a bit lately.  We’re also moving into our final month of school (giddy jumping up and down) and trying to tie up loose ends.  I have a lot of posts in the works,…

  • Cincinnati Museum Center

    I had mentioned in my WWII post about the Cincinnati Museum Center.  Besides the Cincinnati History Museum, this historical building – Union Terminal – houses the Duke Energy Children’s Museum and the Museum of Natural History and Science.  (Oh, yes, and an Omnimax Theater and Amtrak Terminal.)  For a very fair price, you can choose…

  • WWII

    World War II was yet another touching unit in our household.  We have grown to love history SO much through the use of living literature, good informational texts and projects.  History was something I yawned over year after year in high school and college.  I couldn’t imagine EVER liking it!  It’s been a refreshing journey…

  • Happy 13th Mahayla!

    My sweet daughter is a teenager.  That’s so hard to believe!  She’s one of the most loving, helpful, kind, and hardworking young ladies you’ll ever meet.  I love watching her grow each and every day in Christ’s beauty and wisdom.  Her daily life is a powerful witness for Him and I can’t wait to see…

  • Service at the Food Pantry

    We’re very blessed to go to a church that participates in the local food pantry mission.  Once every three months, our church is on duty and asks for volunteers to donate a couple of hours to man the operation.  My children look forward to this service opportunity so much!  From filling orders to stocking shelves,…

  • Charles Russell Resources

    We’ve been so immersed in our 1900’s history studies, that Charles Russell took a bit of a back seat this month.  We did find the time to practice a little horse drawing, though.  Enjoy the resources below! Charles Russell About Charles Russell Paintings We’re Studying Round-up on the Musselshell Lesson Ideas How to Draw a…

  • The 1920’s and 1930’s

    The Roaring 20’s led way to the Great Depression of the 30’s.  Such a stark difference from one decade to the other. When we went through our first four-year cycle of history using The Story of the World as our main spine, I have to admit that we glossed over modern American history at the…
