Using movies in your homeschool might seem like a cop-out, but it’s not when you use them for fun learning. Project-based learning is the best. My kids have not only been more excited and engaged during a project compared to traditional textbook learning, but also absorbed significantly more information. Their interest is fueled each day…
I’ve used a bazillion planners over the years. You, too? I needed something to keep me on task with our Charlotte Mason style of homeschooling for my elementary son. Something that “forced” me to remember things like poetry recitation, the narration of various subjects, and memory verse practice. The Perfect Charlotte Mason Homeschooling Planner I…
Have you ever been outside on a breezy day and heard the wind whistle through the trees or howl around a building? This week’s wind nature study podcast episode explores why wind makes different sounds, such as whistling, howling, roaring, and even humming.

I have always loved teaching a Leonardo da Vinci unit study. It quickly covers almost every academic subject, from the Renaissance to various science topics like inventions, simple machines, and the human body.

That’s why I spend some time each year coming up with a list of educational Christmas gift ideas. I keep the…

Is your family in the car more often than you care to admit? Would you like ideas to creatively homeschool in the car to redeem some time spent riding to co-op, ballet, music lessons, ball practice, chess club, or doctor’s appointments? If so, you’ll love this blog post! Hours spent in the car can make…
I first published this post of early elementary homeschool curriculum picks a few years back, but I’m still a super-fan of everything listed below. My little fella is steadily moving on in school. He’s reading real books and working on real math problems. He builds amazing Minecraft structures and plays basketball better than I do. And he loves…
Today’s post was written by guest blogger Adriana Zoder. She’s sharing her experiences with a popular classical education curriculum that happens to work really well in a Charlotte Mason homeschool, too. In fact, it’s one of my favorite history curriculum choices of all time. With chapters written as living literature, the chronological overview of history…
Do you remember when Eli and I took a short detour from our regular Story of the World studies to learn more about Vikings? We detoured again – this time with a mini pirate unit study. Should I have been shocked? What boy (and many girls) wouldn’t love extra time to hang out with pirates? This…
