Primary Sources and Vernal Pools: Homeschool Day-in-the-Life, Year Seven
I’m a bit shocked that this is the seventh year I’ve written a day-in-the life homeschooling post. The days are long, but the years have flown by so quickly. Pip is now 10, and Bean is about to turn 8; our days are full and sweet. I’ve found that the school days are easier in…
Wild Things and Castles in the Sky: A Fantastic New Resource for Christian Parents
When I saw that Théa Rosenberg, writer of insightful book reviews at Little Book, Big Story and Story Warren, had contributed to a new book on selecting children’s literature, I knew it was a must-have for my shelf.

We’ve continued it, because homeschooling has provided us with a lifestyle of togetherness too precious to pass up. Daily the Lord has humbled…
Summer “School”?
When June hits and I mention that we homeschool year-round, some people look at me as if I’m the Soup Nazi. I can just imagine the thoughts turning in their heads. While other kids are hunting for shells at the beach and licking watermelon juice from their fingers, mine, they assume, slave over times tables…
Snow Days and Samwise Gamgee: Homeschool Day-in-the-Life, Year Five
What a heavy year this has been. A pandemic with an ever-rising death toll; riots, violence, and hatred broiling in the streets, even in our nation’s Capitol; jobs threatened, businesses shuttered; routines and traditions turned upside down, and patterns of fellowship we hold dear completely dismantled. It’s hard, when reflecting on it all, not to…
