Moon Activities for Kids
One of the most exciting parts of homeschooling is the time available to explore topics that are of interest. When my boys were younger, one of the first topics that really intrigued them was the moon. And so, “moon activities” became the name of the game. We spent a lot of time reading moon books,…
Incredible Woodworking Projects for Handy Kids!
Do you have a handy kid? All of my little ones amaze me with what they are capable of (when I give them the opportunity to show me, that is). And woodworking projects are no exception! Madeline didn’t have too many opportunities when she was little, I’m afraid to say. I cringed with the idea…

By the fifth thought, and a lot of convincing and promises of safety, we found ourselves owning a trampoline. The…

Why Do Birds Fly in a “V”?
How many questions do you get asked in a day? My count right now has to be close to 100. Inquisitive, curious kids are fabulous – though, truth be told, exhausting. While I have been known to respond with the day-dreamy “yep” in the car after responding to 38 questions about clouds, I really do…
Make a Treasure Chest!
Do you have a little collector or two at home? I sure do. A lot of our homeschool learning activities don’t happen with pencil and paper, but instead with art and projects and paintings and creating lots of lovely and wonderful ‘things’! These two points, of course, mean that my little collectors will not be…
