Hello there! Each month I share short and sweet book reviews of what I’ve been reading lately June was a great reading month for me, I crossed 10 books off my to-read list and loved almost all of them. If you’re a reader, you may like my other book review posts. Refugee by Alan Gratz My 10 year old son […]
Summer Reading Guide for Homeschool Moms I am a firm believer in the power of making plans. Goals do not just happen; we must set aside the time, plan out the details, and then follow that plan. Our family homeschools somewhat according to the Charlotte Mason method (we don’t follow her schedule exactly). We use living, engaging books and short […]
Every month I share quick reviews of all the books I’ve finished. This year I have a secret/somewhat ridiculous goal to read 100 books, and I’m happy to say I’m right on track. Actually, I’m a little bit ahead since I’ve read 41 books already this year. Woohoo! I do not finish books I don’t like, so you can bet […]
Hello friends! April was a pretty great reading month for me in the beginning, but I’ve found myself falling into a bit of a rut over the past week or so. I need a great fiction book that I can’t put down. I’d love to hear your recommendations! I’m sharing a quick review of all of the books I read […]
Homeschool Morning Time plans for a wide range of ages. Beautiful books to read aloud as a family I am excited to share with you our homeschool morning time plan for the spring term. Generally a term for us lasts 6 or so weeks. This will be our last term before the summer. We homeschool year round so we generally […]
Each month I share a quick review of the books I’ve read and the podcasts I’ve been listening to lately. I don’t have any issues putting a book aside if I’m not enjoying it, so you can count on all the books I post here being at least three out of five stars, in my opinion. Ghost Boys by Jason […]
I’ve been working hard lately to get ready for my next art/craft show. I’ll have a booth at Simple Treasures Boutique next week in Farmington, UT. This is the first time that I’ll be offering completed embroidery pieces! In the past I’ve only sold hand embroidery kits, but I decided to branch out a bit with this show and sell […]
The morning routine of a homeschool, work-at-home mom of four (ages 14, 10, 5 and 2.5). If you’ve been here for very long at all, you’ll know that I’m a big believer in the power of a morning routine. As an introverted homeschool Mama, I thrive on being up well before my children are awake. I need that time to […]
These beautiful picture books, both fiction and non-fiction, are perfect winter time reads. Full of snow and hibernating animals, these books all have gorgeous illustrations and are not at all annoying to read aloud over and over and over again. And your kids will definitely want to read these multiple times. Each month I like to restock our living room […]
Every month I share a quick review of the books I’ve finished and the podcasts I really loved. I didn’t start off this year with a specific numerical reading goal in mind. For the past few years I’ve set my goal at 60 books, knowing I would easily read that many (and more). It was a little ridiculous, but it […]
