It's been awhile since I shared what is in my personal Morning Basket. During the months leading up to a new school year, I like to gather books that prepare my heart and home for the year ahead. So most of my basket is filled with books that inspire our homeschool. I've recently discovered Karen… Continue reading A Mother’s Morning Basket (Back to School)

Reading Resources + Handwriting Help
I've been asked recently what our favorite resources are for strengthening little hands and helping kids to read or write.

If your child struggles with reading, handwriting, story telling, or fine motor skills.... give some of these a try. Some… Continue reading Reading Resources + Handwriting Help
