I clearly remember, over 30 years ago, sitting in my elementary class, listening to the teacher read the book, Paddle-to-the-Sea by Holling Clancy Holling. Her enthusiasm for the story was directly conveyed to us, her students, as we listen enraptured by the story of small canoe carved by an young boy, drifting through the Great Lakes out to the Atlantic Ocean. Imagine my excitement when I found this very book on the list of reading material for my children’s homeschool curriculum this year! I couldn’t wait to start our Paddle-to-the-Sea unit study! Our “unit studies” are perhaps a little different than others. My purpose with a unit study is...

So first, what is a Himalayan Salt Lamp? It’s simply a chunk of pure Himalayan crystal salt mounted onto a piece of wood with an electric bulb placed inside. Himalayan salt lamps work by...

I am not the sort of person who ever feels the need to defend her decisions. I am confident enough in my choices, that an explanation to a stranger just seems weird and irrelevant. Today, however,  as I stood in line at the local Chick-Fil-A, I unexpectedly found myself in a position where I felt I needed to defend our decision to homeschool. Up until that moment, I had never been publicly challenged or even questioned about our choice to homeschool. It had honestly never occurred to me that a stranger could possibly be so rude, so needless to say, I was...

We are incredibly fortunate to live in a country full of beauty. We live in a country where any road trip can lead to the discovery of undeniable beauty and awe-inspiring views. This summer, we drove to Salt Lake City, Utah for my company’s annual Convention. Never one to miss out on a travel opportunity, I planned a visit to several of Utah’s National Parks while on  the way. Zion National Park We started with some adventure and beauty in Utah's Zion National Park and immediately declared it was our favorite. We didn’t know at the time, but each park that we visited would,...

Happy 4th of July to all of our American Readers!  Our holiday plans were rained out and I was just coming off of a series of three 12 hour night shifts, so there wasn’t much activity going on at our house today.  Any time we are confined indoors, however, the children are always happy to experiment with an art project.  So today we learned hw to make a patriotic firework painting with a fork! Here's What You'll Needed This project is quick, simple and fun – because you really can’t mess up!  We gathered together black construction paper, paints, a plastic fork...
