Summer field trips have been a consistent tool in my toolbox to beat boredom and get in some sneaky learning. Living on a cattle farm and having a library full of nature studies, you’d think boredom wouldn’t be an issue at my house, but all kids get bored here and there. A summer break from…
We follow a four-year cycle for teaching science. In the elementary years, science picture books have helped me introduce and explain scientific topics so well that I consider them as much curriculum as anything else we use to teach science. While we do use the occasional science textbook during the elementary years, much of the…

Each school year, we love to add exciting lessons that encourage a love for special days and seasons. Over the years, I’ve posted about bunches of holiday and seasonal lessons and gathered them all together here for a quick reference. If these ideas aren’t enough, be sure to check out my Pinterest page that overflows…
I told you I’ve been slacking on my posts! Four botany study posts in four days doesn’t mean we’ve been studying botany in such depth every day. In fact, each topic took us at least a week to cover. Today’s post is about one of the lessons spent learning about fungi. After some activities from…
I promised a Q&A follow-up from the CM Series and here it is. I hope I found all the questions! If not, or if you think of additional questions, please let me know! The Q&A is in no particular order, so I hope you can muddle through it without too much frustration. Corrie – I’ve…
We’ve had a wonderful month of nature study! I don’t know whether the fruits and nuts were abundant enough to make our nature studies such a success or the weather was so picture perfect that anything would’ve been a success. Either way, we had fun! We’re off to study ponds in October! Here are the…
I admit that wildflowers are quite possibly my favorite of all nature studies. I’m always in awe of God’s creativeness, beauty and majesty through such delicate little things like wildflowers. I’m also amazed at how each season presents me with new flowers that I’ve never noticed before – each with awesome characteristics that are different…

This post contains affiliate links. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of incorporating art into my homeschool. Artist studies and museum visits, of…
Almost nothing gets a homeschool mom’s heart racing like the sight of a brand-new curriculum, stacked clean and neat, ready for a new year of learning. We’ve done the research, placed the orders, and planned out the next several months, complete with themed weeks, finale projects, and even a few well-timed field trips. The butterflies…
Middle schoolers get a bad rap a lot of the time, but the middle school homeschool has such amazing potential! Puberty has wreaked havoc on their awkward bodies and hormones have their moods swinging back and forth. This new rush towards adulthood has them convinced of their own wisdom yet their inexperience reveals them as…
