Homeschool

14 Oct

Years ago, when I decided to start homeschooling my children, I didn't have many friends or acquaintances who homeschooled. I couldn't pick the brains of other homeschooling moms, and I never had the opportunity to sit down with a cup of coffee to drill them with my endless list of questions. Despite this, we have somehow managed to navigate the elementary, and now pre-teen years of homeschooling with any massive regrets. Homeschooling has been an incredible blessing to our family. That being said, however, it hasn't always been easy. I've made many mistakes along the...

Several years ago, my children and I had the pleasure of participating in a local Charlotte Mason Co-op. One of the group's handicrafts for a term was to create a leather journal, doing the book binding ourselves. While this would normally seem unbelievably overwhelming to me, the women in this co-op somehow made it so simple and enjoyable. It was this project that convinced me to tackle handicrafts of all kinds with confidence that with a little work and research, we can do anything! I was seriously so amazed at these young kids, able to create...

Homeschooling is not an easy task. If you are a working parent, it's even harder. Finding a balance that works for your family can be a challenge. I know - I'm there in the trenches with you! I've been homeschooling my children from the beginning and we are now entering the high school years. I've also been a full-time night shift nurse for almost 30 years. I was determined that my need to work was not going to stop me from homeschooling. Where there's a will, there's a way. Through the years,...

I hope that you've been following our paper sloyd series. My children and I have been working through the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. We are making videos of each project and posting them here and on YouTube under the name Happy Handicrafts. This week, for Project #10, we learned how to create a paper sloyd fan. We initially thought that this project would be quite simple, but it proved to be the most challenging yet. Although the instructions and diagram were not difficult, we found that accuracy and attention to detail...

We are excited to share our latest Happy Handicrafts video with you! Our most recent project from our Paper Sloyd series is a pencil box. This series is perfect for any homeschool mom who wants to give her children the broad feast of education, but feels that she cannot teach arts and crafts. My children and I created this video series for those homeschool moms who don't feel like they are crafty, are short on time, or could just use a little downtime while teaching another student. All you need is Happy Handicrafts - we are...
