Custom Lego Table for under $200!
My daughter has been really in to LEGOs since she was about two years old. We tried the DUPLOs and she was not interested at all. So we started collecting the regular LEGO sets with all the small pieces. Now, 6 years later, we have thousands of LEGOs. Maybe hundreds of thousands… We needed a […]
Latest Curriculums
Our Ancient Egypt Study
Last year we started our History curriculum with Blossom and Root’s River of Voices. Now while I loved the curriculum and would recommend it to anyone looking for an unbiased US History, my daughter did not love it and grew bored. The benefits of homeschooling … we switched it up! She started watching a lot […]
Under the Sea: Ocean Themed Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers
The hardest part of our homeschool year is actually teaching the older one while somehow entertaining or distracting the younger one. The toddler wants to be involved in everything and tries to mimic what I say so it becomes very difficult for my older one to pay attention. Am I the only one that has […]
Preschool Curriculum Choices 2021-2022
My youngest will be 3.5 years old in the fall. But let’s be honest, she shows ZERO interest in learning. ZERO! Honestly, it’s fine with me. She’s only three, and I am in no rush. However, I do find that having some sort of plan each day leads to less meltdowns and more “fun”. So […]

A Carnival Birthday Party with Oriental Trading
Every year since her first birthday, we have taken our daughter to Disney for her birthday. It usually coincides with the January Disney Marathon weekend which I love running in so we kill two birds with one stone! For those first five years, she wasn’t in school so we didn’t have a bunch of friends […]

The Rhyming Rabbit: Book Activities
I love doing book activities because any age child can participate (which I have found as a must while homeschooling so no kid is bothering another kid during learning). We have been learning poetry in language arts with my second grader so I thought this book was a perfect addition to a week’s activities. This […]

Third Grade Homeschool Curriculum Choices 2021-2022
Last year I spent months trying to figure out which curriculum I would use for each subject for my second grader. After a lot of trial and error, purchased curriculum that was a total failure, and workbooks that were thrown out, we finally finished our second grade year on a great note. Because of that, […]
