Happy first Tuesday of Summer! It’s almost fall-like here right now, especially compared to the very hot late spring we’ve already had. I’m thankful for the cooler weather although I can hardly believe we are down to the last week of June! Over the weekend we did some much needed work in the basement. Caroline …
This cute bumblebee craft made with a toilet paper roll will be a big hit with your little ones. I’ve created this craft to be flexible so it can be made with or without construction paper (in case you don’t have any construction paper in your home right now!). There are multiple choices for making …

I don’t know much of anything about this man, but this is the best easy-to-understand explanation I’ve read of the difference between the liberal and conservative mindsets, how they make decisions, and what they value.

Unlike other homeschool approaches, relaxed homeschooling doesn’t have a neat set of boxes to check to show adherence to a specific philosophy or curriculum. But after being a relaxed homeschooler for 10 13 years, I can say with certainty that …
One of the delights of my life is introducing Caroline to some of my favorite children’s books. For a variety of reasons, we are coming to some of them later than might be expected. For example, we read through the “Little House” series just recently while she was 13 and 14. Most people read them …
Happy Wednesday! I hope your June has been a lovely month so far. I can scarcely believe that we are half way through the month. Wasn’t it just Memorial Day weekend? I never sent out a newsletter last week. I planned on it and then it got later and later in the week as I …
