Learning to Type to Mastery – The Typing Coach Review
Do you long to include typing in your homeschool but struggle with which program may be the best fit? We were fortunate to review The Typing Coach Online Typing Course from The Typing Coach recently and I have to say, I think we have finally found the right program.

Breathe Life into your Homeschool – A Review

Great Summer Ideas for Classical Conversations Families
The bittersweet ending of our Classical Conversations Year has come and gone. Our end of the year with fun parties, egg drops, and airplane races are still being talked about.

IS THAT HOW IT WORKS IN YOUR HOME? As ... read more
Art Lessons for Kids with ArtAchieve – A Review
My daughter has been taking online drawing lessons using the Entire Level III from ArtAchieve. She really loves art and I love it when we have the opportunity to try out new art programs.

Skills that I do not feel I teach well since art is just not my thing. ArtAchieve Helps Kids Develop Art Skills ArtAchieve is an online resource for ... read more
The Best Part of Homeschooling
I know some people are very much for or against homeschooling. There are some in the middle but most have a very strong view. I didn't - not in the beginning. For some reason, I felt called to homeschool. Yes, me, the daughter of a public and then private Catholic school teacher. The niece of not one but 2 Lutheran school teachers. And the cousin to more teachers than I can post about. And yes, me, a former public school substitute teacher who considered returning to college to complete a second ... read more
