We have always been a reptile family and my kids are a walking ball of random reptile facts. These are 50 fun reptiles facts I think your kids will love as much as mine do! Last week, my friend Cait shared this video of The Budgett’s Frog with us and asked if my son knew…
“I never had any desire to teach.” I have lost track of how many times I have heard it from moms, trying to figure this homeschooling thing out. They did not grow up imagining themselves in a classroom. They don’t love the Target dollar section’s educational supplies. They never really wanted to do this. But…
Interest-led homeschooling can get complicated when you have children with varying interests. Here’s how we make it work! One morning last week, my oldest son yelled and asked me to come into his room. “I’m with your brother. Give me a minute!” I yelled back because I am super serene and classy like that. I…
With one homeschool graduate in college this year and my youngest working through his freshman year of high school, one of the questions I am asked most is what our days and weeks look like, when taking an interest-led, strength-based approach to learning.

I am trying to get to the bottom of this. Why Is My Child With ADHD So Explosive About Schoolwork? Over the course of the last few years, I have seen my share of meltdowns. iPads have been broken, replaced, and then broken again. We patched up a giant hole in the wall when we…
We have been homeschooling with audiobooks for almost a decade. At first, I treated them as extras. Now, I’ve come to see them as a valuable resource in our homeschool. Here’s why. Last week, my son’s doctor asked him about school (always a good time for a homeschool mom). He told her all about the…
Is hands-on high school really possible across academic subjects in our high school? This year, I intend to find out. This is our hands-on plan for high school homeschooling in the 2021-2022 school year. I dropped my oldest off at college two weeks ago. (My heart still hurts typing this…) Two weeks in, he is…
Practicing math skills is an essential part of our early elementary homeschools. This is an innovative approach to helping our kids learn their math facts and practice math skills. It uses Roblox and is an educational tool that your child will love! Using educational games has made all the difference in our homeschool. My son…
We leave in two weeks to take my oldest son to college. Two weeks. I have a lot of feelings about this (a lot of feelings). As we have been working to prepare all the things for his dorm room, fill out the paperwork, pay all the bills, and register for classes, I have been…
