Visiting Ancient Egypt with The Cat of Bubastes {Review}

Steph — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 18:41:40 +0000

Some of you may be new to homeschooling so let me tell you the homeschoolers’ secret weapon: audiobooks. As my kids get older, we end up driving around more and more. Between classes outside the home, field trips, and longer road trips, we spend a lot of time in the car.

Little Man has been bugging me for a while for an email address. He just turned nine, and he’s at an age where some of his friends are using email, plus he hates that every time something says “enter your email,” he has to use mine.

I am great at finding books for learning about a subject, but when it comes to reinforcing our learning through worksheets or tests, I have a hard time finding things, especially as my kids […]

Getting Started with French {Review}

Steph — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 15:27:17 +0000

I am terrible with foreign languages. I took French for the required two years in high school, but nothing stuck. When my Big Boy was a baby, I tried to take a continuing education course in Russian, but that was even harder. I’m not sure if my brain just has a block on other languages, or if I just lack the attention span required to really dig in to something […]
