If there’s one thing I’ve learned from studying science, or history for that matter, it’s “Everything runs on a cycle.” In science we learn about the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the cell cycle, etc. Our years are based on seasons that cycle through one after another. History also repeats itself. This is best shown […]
Reading List for 2011
Can I tell you how much I LOVE PaperBackSwap? I am currently building our library (again) by accumulating the books on Arthur Henry King’s “Reading List for a Lifetime.” We check our mail only a couple times a week as the mailbox is 15 miles away. Today on the way home from church we opened […]
Christmas in Spain
Christmas Around the World with CurrClick has partnered with myself and nine other homeschool bloggers this week. Each one of us will be giving goodies away during our bloggy event so be sure to check the schedule and stop by each site to learn about Christmas in other countries, enter the giveaways and maybe even […]
Christmas School
Every year we take December off from our usual scholarly studies to focus on Christmas School. In the past we have done Christmas carols, Names of Christ, Christmas Symbols, etc. I also like to throw in some fun mini units about snowflakes, or hot chocolate, or gingerbread. ☺ This year we will be doing two […]
Pioneer Heritage: Edward Ashton
July 24th is Pioneer Day in celebration of the arrival of the first Mormon Pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley. In an effort to teach our children about their pioneer heritage we are learning about their pioneer ancestors. We are lucky to have access to detailed records of their lives. This week’s posts all come […]
Good Reading
I’ve been getting the itch to make more quilts. It’s the fault of two books. This one my parents sent to me a couple of weeks ago. The Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt: Letters from 1920s Farm Wives and the 111 Blocks They Inspired It’s a collection of excerpts from essays written by farm wives in […]
Making Butter
It has been nine years since we’ve read the Little House series aloud. I can’t believe it’s been that long! Bon Bon and Semisweet remember them. Brownie (11) remembers some of the books but the younger ones do not. I decided it was high time to read them again. It is the perfect beginning to […]
Our Homeschool Curriculum
UtahnaI’m new to homeschooling and noticed you use Sonlight for part of your curriculum. I’ve looked into that a little, as well as TJEd and Well-Trained mind. I love the idea of a classical education that is literature based. I just wanted to know why you chose Sonlight as well as any other curricula you […]
Homeschool Planning
Erin Your scheduling post was very informative/interesting/insightful. What I’m still wondering is how you do all that you do 🙂 Do you read through your kids’ curriculum, or how do you teach them if you don’t have time in the day to read through what each of them are learning? I guess this is my […]
Toddlers, babies, and schooling, oh my!
JennyWell, actually, I have been wanting to you ask you this…it’s probably a question you get a lot and have probably answered before, but how do you do it all? 🙂 I have 3 little ones 6 and under and this year I began to think about homeschooling for the first time. I’m just not […]
It’s about TIME
Suzanne I want to know how you find time to home school, blog, keep the house and kids going, have time for your spouse, and still stay sane. I eat quite a bit of chocolate, and don’t feel that I can get as much done with those 24 hours. Marisa HOW do you find […]
Sheet Music
ChristinaYou write every now and then about sheet music. What do you have, where do you get it from, what do you recommend? Do you all sing from it, play it on the piano, or what? How often do you add to your collection? Growing up in a musical family, it’s a given that I […]
How I created (or didn’t) my navigation link bar
SuzanneI also have a side question: how did you create the tabs/links at the top of your blog for home, tutorials, cookbook, etc. I’m trying to organize my blog a bit more, and love how you’ve done this. whitesilkpursePlease include tutorials for the “How To…” questions others have about creating your blog. Your other tutorials […]
Running a One Room Schoolhouse
“I’ve always harbored a secret wish to travel back in time and visit a one room school house. When I was younger I used to fantasize about what they were like as I’d read about them in books like Little House on the Prairie or Anne of Green Gables. Now as a homeschooling mother of […]
The Symbols of Christmas
“Christmas is such a joyful time of year. The spirit of brotherly kindness and charity is more evident in the hearts of men. We feel a greater desire to serve and give to others. Unfortunately, the true meaning of Christmas and what we, as Christians, celebrate can easily be lost because of all the commercialism […]
