It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Yes, the past couple of weeks have been such a roller coaster as you can probably tell by the lack of much new content here. I thought about it every day. Many days I was working behind the scenes. Some days I just didn't have it in me mentally to sit down and write here. Anyhoo. So this is …

It's going to be a very hot and humid July week. We're planning on enjoying lots of at-home activities to beat the heat. Here is a peak around our cozy home! Caroline and I haven't done much poetry in our homeschool so that's something we're doing this summer. I bought Anna Growing Up on the Farm years ago (well before Caroline). I brought …

As I've been looking through old posts, I realized that I've actually shared very little from our family life. I've written more about issues, things I'm learning, helping people solve problems, and encouraging others. But I haven't shared much about our day to day activities of pursuing a cozy life and bringing peace, understanding, and joy to our …

Art is one of those subjects that many homeschool moms find challenging. If she isn't particularly skilled in art, it can be intimidating. If she feels overwhelmed by all there is to do, it is easy for art to get pushed to the side as less important. So an easy-to-implement and in-depth art curriculum can be very helpful for homeschoolers. Art …

Because I've been blessed with a creative and artistically gifted daughter, I've learned a great deal about art supplies over the past several years. As a highly creative family, we've cycled through many different phases and interests. I thought I would share what Caroline, in particular, has enjoyed using. If you have a girl in your life who …

I mention frequently that Caroline is creative and spends a lot of her time doing artistic things whether it is building on the computer (Minecraft, Roblox, Animal Jam, etc.) or with real life media. I've asked her a few times if she'd like to share photos of some of her creations with you, but she never was ready. Until yesterday! Yesterday she …

Caroline's favorite learning topic is art. Her second favorite topic is art. And so on. She's my creative, imaginative girl. When I had the opportunity to check out Sparketh which offers online art classes for beginners, I thought this would be a good opportunity for her to explore! I am always looking for ways to better homeschool my creative …

Caroline (who is seven) has been fascinated by stop animation movies, especially since she found the Basilmentos channel on YouTube. So today she used the camera she received from Grandpa and Grandma S. for Christmas to make her first stop animation movie (with some help from Daddy!). She spent several hours working on this and I was very …

Since we homeschool and have a creative child, keeping a well-stocked selection of arts and crafts supplies is imperative in our home. I also believe that the supplies need to be readily accessible to the child and well-organized so they can easily be enjoyed. Today I'm going to share what we have on hand and I hope others will chime in with …

A few weeks ago I ended up on the website A girl and a glue gun and her DIY Barbie House post (now both closed). I knew Caroline would be enthralled, but I had no idea how much it would impact her. She has watched pretty much all of the crafting videos by My Froggy Stuff and has been inspired. Inspired, I tell you! Every little thing in the …
