Writing Workshop for Multiple Ages
Sometimes in our homeschool we just need to focus on a certain subject. I’ve mentioned this strategy in When You Need to Catch Up. This week it was writing. So, rather than say, “Children, write!” I decided we would call this week a Writing Workshop. Something about a workshop makes it a little more fun, […]
When You Need to Catch Up
The calendar turned to March a week ago. March. We are usually finished with our school year by the first week of May. That’s because we start homeschool the last week of July. We choose to do this so that we can have the freedom to take off when we’d like to, refocus our December […]
Technology in Homeschool
If you missed yesterday’s post, I shared about this week’s Tapestry of Grace studies along with my answer to a reader’s question. Tapestry is a unit study approach for the whole family. It works so well for our age range of children. So, in today’s weekly wrap, I’m offering glimpses into the rest of our […]
Turn Negatives into Positives
I’ve had big plans for our homeschool year. But, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m often the one learning. Learning how to be extremely flexible. Never have we had such a rough year with health. Even so, the negative aspects of illness really can be turned into positives. And in our homeschool we can turn negatives […]
Preschool and First Grade at Hodgepodge

Today I’m highlighting the little ones – our preschooler and first grader. Here we are half way through the year. Here we are in February […]
Homeschooling High School Update
We are homeschooling preschool, elementary, middle school and high school this year. It’s our first official year of high school as I shared way back in August in my Homeschooling High School at Hodgepodge. I have been nervous and excited about this high school adventure. And now, here we are half way through the year. […]
Declare an Extras Day
Clearing my calendar can be freeing. There’s just something about a long stretch of time without commitments. Children feel the same way when they aren’t hurried through activities. A whole day to paint and create? Yes, please. Knowing that I can give our homeschool an extras day was somewhat revolutionary to me. Because all of sudden […]

When the Homeschool Schedule Allows for Rest
We’ve been acting like homeschoolers over here. See, I’ve always loved the freedom of a homeschool schedule. This time it has afforded us rest. While we are usually full swing back to school, we’ve been taking care. Coming directly off the heels of most of the Hodgepodge with a month of flu, Littlest Girl had […]
Prep for a New Homeschool Semester
Remember I mentioned that I’ve been planning here and there over Christmas break? Just 15 minutes to half an hour a morning for each child. Then the rest of the day with family and a Hodgepodge of other things. This magazine rack type shelf over the family room couch is very handy. I decided that […]
