How to Create a Timeline Based History Plan
There are multiple ways to go about teaching history in your homeschool. We have often used a unit study approach where we focused on a specific event, person, or time period. Another way to teach history is chronologically through the use of a timeline. For my last go around with homeschooling middle school, I have […]
Including Electives in your Homeschool Curriculum Choices
When choosing homeschool curriculum one of the subjects we often over look is elective courses. Homeschool Curriculum Electives could include things like music, art, foreign language, life skills and so much more. While these may not be core subjects, they are also subjects you shouldn’t ignore when making your homeschool curriculum choices. If you stick […]
I ♥ Faces ~ Pets Only
I ♥ Faces is running on an animal theme this week. This photo is a random shot I happened to catch of my mother’s dog, Roxie. She loves to come to our house and run free in the fenced in yard. I took many photos of her on this same day rolling and running, but […]
11 Hours of Fun
We just spent the day at Seabreeze with our homeschooling group. We opened and closed the park, and had a blast along the way! I just wanted to share a couple of fun photos from our day. Unfortunately, if you look at these pictures you would think that Chloe and I were not there. We […]
It’s the Little Things Thursday
Those of you following my blog may have noticed a theme this week…Ava. On Monday, June 21st, Ava turned 4. Seeing as this was a BIG milestone in her book, much of my week has been spent around this occasion and Ava turning 4. So why should this post be any different? It shouldn’t and […]

Married People & Their Rings ~ According to Jayden
I am sitting at the homeschool table with Chloe, working on her math. For whatever reason I look up at my hand, which I believe is holding the answer key. Suddenly I feel sick. Where is my wedding ring? My other two rings and my watch are still on, but my wedding ring is missing! […]
It’s the Little Things Thursday
It seems as though as I am always holding my breath, hoping the kids will behave while we are out. You don’t actually think they ever sit still, stop fighting, keep their hands to themselves, lower their voices while inside etc.! Every now I then I am surprised to find that there is some good […]
The Simple Woman’s Daybook ~ June 15th, 2010
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: June 15th, 2010… Outside my window…our street is very quiet.

I am thinking…that recently I have become very comfortable in my own skin. I […]
