As a homeschooling Mom, one of my core beliefs is that the arts are equally as important as the sciences. If you follow the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, you will probably recognize her quote: “We recognize that the power of appreciating art and of producing to some extent an interpretation of what one sees is as universal as intelligence, imagination, nay, speech.” (Volume 6 of the Home Education Series)Charlotte Mason (Volume 6 of the Home Education Series) Art (Artist Study or Picture Study, as we tend to call it) is undeniably a source of joy and enjoyment. ...

Some of the greatest magic in our homeschool comes from art. Recently, as part of our Homeschool Picture Study, we've been reading about George Seurat and exploring his art. He was instrumental in pioneering the style of art called Pointillism, so we wanted to learn a little more about this style of painting. We will be sharing our pointillism-inspired art projects for children of all ages, from pre-school kids up to homeschool Moms and Dads, who want in on the fun. Our family follows the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason who never advocates simply copying the artist's work, but we...

For us, summer is the time to enjoy the little things, the fun things, the finer things, the new things, the curious things, the delicious things. In fact there are so many things that we made a list of 100+ free (or almost free) ideas for summertime activities! Don't let the bucket list, or checklist stress you! While boredom is actually a great thing, these ideas are for the times when you need a...

After over a year of staying at home, my family and I finally had the chance to travel. The kids wanted to go to the beach, so we headed to Florida for a little rest and relaxation. For the past several years, when travelling, we've chosen vacation rentals. I find you get personalized treatment, so much more for your money, and I love the fully equipped kitchen, laundry availability, and this time, the massive pool. This year, as we settled into our home for the week, our vacation rental gave us an unexpected surprise. For several years now, I have worked...

Mother's Day is fast approaching, and if you're anything like me, you will understand my struggle with gift-giving. I love giving gifts, but I am severely challenged when it comes to knowing what to give. So, in anticipation of Mother's Day, I took a poll of several of my friends who are great gift-givers, asking them for Mother's Day ideas that I can share with you. Together with a few of my own personal favorites, I built a list of 10 Mother's Day gifts that you can be sure she will love. 1. Lilly Pulitzer Ceramic Mug There's something about drinking coffee...
