Our school days are slooooowly returning. The first thing I add back in is Morning Time! It is our favorite time of the day. We gather around for breakfast or a snack and read together. Morning Time is done "family style" with all of our children (ages 5-9) joining in as we loop through each… Continue reading Our Family’s Morning Basket Favorites

A Mother’s Morning Basket
Happy first day of Summer! Summertime is the best time to gather together a morning basket just for yourself! Our homeschool days are slower and more relaxed. So I am finding more quiet time to rest and read during these long summer days. I try to gather books and items that make me slow down… Continue reading A Mother’s Morning Basket
2018-2019 Curriculum Recap
The end of our school year is quickly approaching. As I start planning our next school year, I wanted to first share a curriculum recap.

Springtime Book Stack
Spring is here and Easter is right around the corner! The older I get, the more Springtime becomes my favorite season of the year. The blooms and birds are such a gift after the long winter season. But Jesus is God's greatest gift of all! Jesus freely gave his life for every one of us.… Continue reading Springtime Book Stack
Mama’s 2019 Book List

She expresses her love and emotions through art. Whenever she is sad, angry, excited, or sorry about something... she will race off… Continue reading February Book Stack
Reading Weather Has Arrived
We had our first dusting of snow this morning in Middle Tennessee. The children are out trying to scrape snowballs together with their dad. I'm cuddled under blankets by the fire, shivering and struggling to stay warm. My body was definitely not made for winter weather. I'm trying my best to embrace this season… Continue reading Reading Weather Has Arrived
25 Days of Christmas Books!
Happy December! Time to change the calendar and gather Advent materials. (And I should probably consider removing the rotting pumpkins from the front porch.) As we count down to Christmas, we will pull out a new book from our December book stack. Christmas books are my favorite! We will also be adding Advent activities and… Continue reading 25 Days of Christmas Books!
Unit Study: Seeds, Trees, and Leaves
We finished up our science unit on bugs last month. I decided to pause our usual science lessons and do a quick unit study on trees and leaves. The leaves have been beautiful this year! The kids love going on leaf hunts and running back home to identify them in their books. They really enjoyed… Continue reading Unit Study: Seeds, Trees, and Leaves
November Book Stack
I can't believe Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! We have collected some really sweet books over the years that celebrate the fall season, friendship, food, and the story of Thanksgiving. I also try to read books in November that look back on the year. They remind us how our lives change with the seasons and how… Continue reading November Book Stack
