I think that linguistic learners have it the easiest in that our world deals with words – whether in speaking, reading, or writing. Because of this many linguistic learners are considered to be the ‘gifted’ ones because they do so well in this environment. Hopefully in this journey through each of the multiple intelligences we’ll […]
Learning Styles: Multiple Intelligences
Today we are going beyond the basic learning styles of Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic/Tactile (VARK). Most of us don’t fall strictly into one of those categories – and neither do our children. There are also several other factors that are not taken into account with the VARK learning styles – art, music, nature being […]
Learning Styles: The Basics
There’s one lesson I learned right away when we first began homeschooling – not everyone learns the same way. And that’s okay! We all have different learning styles. Knowing what they are can really help us as parents as we try to teach our children. What type of learner are you? What type of learner […]
Ladybug’s Garden {Book Review}
Are your kids as fascinated with ladybugs as mine are? Whenever we are in the garden or walking in the alfalfa fields they are on the lookout for ladybugs. Bonus points to anyone who can find orange ones! We recently received a really cute book that appeals to the kids’ ladybug loving hearts. Ladybug’s Garden […]
The Little House Books
It’s rare to find someone who has not read at least one of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books. The depiction of her growing up years in the American prairie has captured the imagination of generations. What lessons we have learned from the hard working Ingalls family: obedience, perseverance, duty, love! As you read my stories of […]
The Homeschool Cycle
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from studying science, or history for that matter, it’s “Everything runs on a cycle.” In science we learn about the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the cell cycle, etc. Our years are based on seasons that cycle through one after another. History also repeats itself. This is best shown […]
Just Go With the Flow
Our 18th year of homeschool officially started on Monday! And it definitely didn’t go as planned. But that’s okay. If motherhood and homeschooling have taught me anything it is to just go with the flow. We do have a schedule set up but we are also still farming, getting in our fourth crop of hay. When […]
Love My Schedule {giveaway}
Homeschooling many ages of children involves a lot of things. One of the major ones is organization. Keeping our day organized is a MUST if we are to get anything done. We have been using the ideas and tricks from Managers of Their Homes for years. This book has really helped me get a handle on […]
The Convergence by Tenille Berezay {book review}
Do you personally know any authors in real life? I can say I do! It’s not everyday you get to read and review a friend’s book. Oh, and interview her too. I’m pretty excited to share it with you today! “Hiding unbelievable physical abilities, seventeen-year-old Desiree Morgan buries herself inside the realities of high school. […]
Are You Happy?
Are you happy? Seems like a simple enough question. For many people, though, answering it can be complicated. I’ve often heard people say that they aren’t looking for happiness they are looking for joy, as if being happy is somehow elusive or bad. I am naturally a cheerful person. I am happy! No one has […]
Visiting This is the Place Heritage Park
Pioneers abound in our family. We have pioneers that crossed the plains in 1847 and others that crossed later in the 1850s and 1860s. You know how big we are on family history! I have been wanting to take my kids to This is the Place Heritage Park for years. I remember going as a […]
Do You Have Questions About Homeschooling?
This Saturday our little town is having its first ever mini-homeschool conference. Booths will be set up displaying different types of curricula. There will be classes about each of the online programs available in the state, the “S” word (socialization), dual enrollment, early childhood learning, laws for homeschooling in Nevada, etc. I get to do […]
Everyday MOMents by Jessica Poe {Review}
Today started off as one of “those” days. Here, let me show you a picture. If you’ll notice the bottom rack of my dishwasher, which is loaded, is on top of my counter. There are piles of dishes on another counter. My daughter is watching my husband (not pictured) work on our dishwasher that decided […]
#MyForeverFamily Challenge
You may have noticed all my posts last week centered on family history. I loved writing about the ways we “do” family history! It doesn’t have to be boring. We make the dash between the birth and death dates of our ancestors come alive. You can too! I have joined with 14 other bloggers this […]
Using Dolls to Share Family History Stories
As part of our female family history unit study my mom came up with this ingenious idea! My girls love their American Girl Dolls so my mom thought, “Why not use those dolls to share family history stories?” She sewed doll outfits to represent our different ancestors. This outfit represents the ones my sister, Vanessa, […]
