Royal Opera House This week we had the chance to take a homeschooling field trip! With the two other girls in school, we haven’t done as many fieldtrips as we have in the past. But, when a group of women from church were going to check out the Royal Opera for a free lunch time [...]

It was our first experience with school picture day, but I think the girls did well. Emma Hannah They are definitely sisters! Both girls are still really enjoying school and we’re so glad they are having such a positive experience so far. They’ve stepped up to the challenges and so far have handled them well.

An interesting thing happened this August that caught many off-guard . . . two of our children ventured off to ‘real school.’ May I say that I was one of those people?! Let me preface this by saying that I always thought of ourselves as ‘accidental homeschoolers’. It was never the plan to do this [...]

We decided to make the kids’ schooling a little more difficult this year. Or maybe not more difficult, but ‘different’. Each week Emma and Caleb are required to turn in a report on a subject they have been given to research for the week. The subjects range anywhere from science, history, art, or book reports. [...]

We moved away from Ithaca, New York 5 years ago. We lived there for 2 years during graduate school at Cornell University and it is still one of our favorite places we’ve lived. We, admittedly, went back every once in a while afterward to get our fill of the scenery, people, and used-book sales! Our [...]

When I asked Cami what she wanted to do yesterday while the other kids were at “Flexi-school”, she said she wanted to go to the fair. It seems little traveling fairs do creep up here quite often, but usually not during the week. I tried to come up with the next best thing and could [...]

I thought I planned a really fun activity for Cami and I to do this week, while the others were at Flexi-school. Obviously, Caleb thought so too as he refused to go to Flexi-school and tagged along with us. We went to a little place called “Shire’s Farm,” which had a number of farm animals [...]

The older two kids attend a special Homeschool “School” one day a week. It is quite a distance from where we live so I’ve been trying to come up with some fun things to do with the younger girls while we are out that way. So, this week we went on a ‘Wind in the [...]
