Helping you homeschool with ease and creativity!
Oh my goodness! OH MY GOODNESS!! College is just around the corner for my high schooler. I know, you may be saying, she’s ONLY 15…she’s JUST a freshman…you’ve got time. But, y’all, it is NOT too early to start planning and getting ready for that next big step in life. I received limited access to this product free of charge for review purposes and was […]
We have used Apologia products for years! And, we LOVE them! From General and Physical Science to Astronomy, Biology to Chemistry, Biblical Worldview to elementary reading and writing! You can even check out my review of their high school American Lit program! So, when I discovered that Apologia created a Health and Nutrition course, I jumped on it immediately! I received this product free of […]
In this day and time, typing skills are crucial! We live in a technology-focused world and I’m convinced that kids will be at a drastic disadvantage as young adults if they don’t learn touch typing while they are young. This is why I have chosen to incorporate typing into our homeschool. I received this product free of charge for review purposes and was compensated for […]
True story! I signed my younger boys up for an online, interactive reading program and hoped for the best. You see, reading has been more of a struggle with them than my older kids, so I’ve been willing to try almost anything to get them to love reading like their older siblings! So, I logged them into this new program and I headed out for […]
When your child begs you to renew an online math program because they like it so much, it’s really hard to say no. And really, who could deny such an honorable request? This is exactly what happened with my youngest son! I received this product free of charge for review purposes and was compensated for my time. All opinions expressed in this post are my […]
My 13 year old twin boys LOVE reading. When we head out the door, they almost always grab a book. However, my 11 year old twins just don’t seem to have the same desire. If they have a choice, they reach for an electronic gadget instead. If I’m honest, I believe this is all my fault. I have allowed my younger boys to have way […]
Ack! I’ve got a high schooler! Although I used to be a high school teacher, I was STILL a little nervous about homeschooling high school. I think the most terrifying part for me is the process of selecting the right courses and compiling transcripts. I received this product free of charge for review purposes and was compensated for my time. All opinions expressed in this […]
My kids are excited that our summer vacation has begun, and truthfully, so am I! Often times when people discover that we homeschool, they ask it we “do school” year-round. I am quick to tell them, NO! And the reason is because I need a break! Homeschooling your children is rewarding. But, let’s be real, it’s hard work! The summer time is when I unwind […]
As a homeschool mom, the highlight of my day is when fun collides with learning! It is a win-win situation! My kids are enjoying themselves and gaining knowledge at the same time. As an educator, what more could you ask for? I received this product free of charge for review purposes and was compensated for my time. All opinions expressed in this post are my […]
As a homeschool mom with 10+ years of homeschooling under her belt, there are a few supplies that are must-haves for our homeschool. We use or buy these exact same items year after year…without fail! Now, don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of other items that I use and “must have” for our homeschool, but the items listed below are “special”…as in I […]
Most kids love fun, engaging, hands-on activities! When young children are learning the alphabet, utilizing such activities can be very advantageous in the learning process! In the past I did "letter of the week" themed activities with my kids. Many of these activities are shared here on my site. Are you planning on doing something similar? Need some fun, hands-on ideas for each letter of […]
When I first started homeschooling back in 2007, I didn’t know of many other homeschool families that looked like ours. However, over the years I have watched the African-American homeschool population grow! More recently, I have discovered some African-American homeschool bloggers as well! And, that is what this page is all about. It is a growing collection of the African-American homeschool bloggers that I have […]
