Today the weather finally feels like spring. We've had other spring-like days this winter, but I think we were too busy to notice. But today it's Sunday, and we took advantage of this warmer, cloudy day to go bird watching at Ft. Yargo State Park. There were very few people there since the forecast predicted … Continue reading March
We made a wreath for our front door. 🙂
Though we began a more formal study of U.S. history earlier this year, starting with life in America before the arrival of Europeans, I have been teaching my boys about Native Americans in a variety of ways over the past few years. The resources listed here will reflect that. I will return to this page … Continue reading U.S. History Lesson Log #1: Native Americans
January has been a quiet month around here. It has offered some very cold days -- at least cold to us Southerners -- so it's been a good time to stay inside and get some work done. The boys and I have been doing a lot of birdwatching out our windows, and we finally started … Continue reading January

We live an ordinary life, but it's been a good year. I am thankful that we are all healthy, and we're … Continue reading Homeschool Highlights From 2018

This is a list of all the resources we're using right now in the 2018-2019 school year. I may write individual posts on … Continue reading Our 6th and 3rd Grade Homeschool Curriculum
I have written a post about our 3rd and 6th grade curriculum for the home/school/life blog, and you can see all my favorite curriculum choices on this page, which I keep updated. Since I already wrote about our curriculum, I thought I would take the time to share how I schedule our week, though it’s … Continue reading How to Create a Homeschool Schedule
It's October, and our year is well on its way. (Even if it does feel like August outside.) This year I'm putting in the effort to plan our week's lessons on the weekend, and this has been helpful for me. Writing, grammar, cursive, math, history, science, Spanish, Chinese and more -- not necessarily in that … Continue reading October
This post concludes my series of day trips that we took this summer, which also concludes our 2017-2018 school year. Day trips are some of our most educational and fun activities we can do as homeschoolers. I will try to write about some of the places we go this year too. My son picked the … Continue reading Atlanta Botanical Garden
