We are starting Tapestry of Grace Year 3 next week! At the end of last year I did some thinking about our accomplishments for the year and one of the things we didn’t do very well was history. (That’s really an understatement. But I did have a baby, so I’m trying to be generous.) I …

I’ve said before I am not an extreme couponer. I don’t have the time nor the space to stockpile that much. But last Thursday my in-laws were watching my kids for me so I could go out and have some time to myself. They live right by a CVS and I was going to the …
I’ve posted several different times on how we organize our homeschool supplies. We don’t have a school room, but we do school mainly in the dining room and kitchen. We also use the living room for reading and my older daughter likes to work at her desk in her room. Over the years I’ve used …

Are you a relaxed homeschooler?
As a frugal homeschool mom, I’m not supposed to use any convenience foods. I should be growing most of my own food, right? Or I could be some sort of extreme couponer and then it would be OK to buy convenience foods since I’d have purchased them for essentially nothing. I’m afraid that’s not the …

We’re going to be using Tapestry of Grace Year 3 for our History, Geography, Literature, and Church History studies next year. This is my first year using …
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. – …
I’ve updated my curriculum page with what we’re planning on using next year. (I don’t have all the links done yet though.) As I read through it, I get a little very nervous. It is going to take some serious coordination on my part to accomplish these goals. The two oldest children do most of …
