Holidays

Ever notice that there are flower bouquets for every season and reason, but not really for St. Patrick's Day? In fact, the stores where I live completely skip over this little holiday and have right on to Easter. To rectify this injustice, we have decided to make our own bouquet of shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day with coffee filters. I guarantee they'll last longer than your typical bouquet as well! Things you will need: Coffee FiltersPencilGreen Pipe CleanersGreen Food DyePaper Towels You can make as many shamrocks as you like - the more the merrier! Start by taking each coffee filter and dividing...

I know it's cheating, but I will often delay buying homeschool supplies and other necessities when I know that Christmas is just around the corner. Markers and paints, and paper, and glue make the best stocking stuffers! This year, however, we are already well-stocked with the usual art supplies and educational games, so I went on the hunt for some more unique and creative Christmas gifts for homeschoolers. I came up with some great stocking stuffers and gifts for under the tree! Let's Start with Stocking Stuffers 1. Insta-Snow Powder Insta-Snow Powder was a huge hit for us last year. We live in Texas, so...

I love the Christmas holidays!  We tend to drop back to just the basics in our homeschool.  This gives us all a much-needed break and it allows us time for the many activities that come along with the holidays. In our home, we love anything that is creative, so I’ve started leaving out crafting supplies for Clark and Luci.  I’d love if you visit my guest blog today over at My Joy-Filled Life, where I talk in a little more detail about simple Christmas crafts with Popsicle sticks. It never ends with just one craft, though.  Clark and Luci will work on...

I know that I cannot be the only Mom who worries about how to manage the Halloween aftermath. As we've become much more aware of what we are eating and feeding our children, the thought of my children downing buckets of candy on Halloween night absolutely horrifies me. My children are normally healthy and robust. I am blessed to say that we have not had a sick doctor visit in years. We are intentional about supporting our immune systems naturally. However, a recent experience brought me a reality check. Our family spent the night at a local hotel that housed a water park....

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...

There is one thing I’ve learned from homeschooling: If you don’t make holidays and celebrations into a really big deal, then your kids are going to miss out. This is especially true in my case, being a Canadian, transplanted into the United States. I was actually a little surprised to learn that I had very little understanding of many of the holidays. The great part is, as a Homeschooler, I get to learn with my children! Today we are using the opportunity to learn about President's Day, while sharing some activities and resources for homeschool. Starting with the Basics President’s Day is...
