For most of us who studied philosophy in high school or college, yes, our classes were anything but Christian. Misleading, worldly, tempting, humanistic and me-centered are just a few of the words I would…
(This post contains affiliate links.) I love homeschooling! Even as we dive deeper into high school, I can honestly say that it only gets better and better. Real learning, subjects that inspire my children’s passions and pointing the way to the One all make homeschooling precious. What do 11th, 8th and 1st look like at…

We’re finally into some practical posts in my series about unit studies! In my first post, I wrote about how I design unit studies for our homeschool. In the second post, I wrote about incorporating project-based learning into the units. Now, I’d like to share a very short and simple study we completed on magnets….

Besides the oodles of places you can visit right around the corner, there are several fabulous opportunities within a reasonable driving distance, too.

In order to make time for more living literature over the years, we have always been fans of audio books. Boring car time is often transformed into other…
