We’ve been trying to eat more fruit. Well, let me rephrase that. I have been trying to eat more fruit. My husband and children have no problem with fruit — they could eat it all day long. I will eat vegetables all day long (love them), but fruit is something I have to really be in the mood for. I am not a huge fan...
Worries and Woes
Posted by Meg | 3 comments
As moms, we often feel like we’re entitled to worry. We sometimes equate being a loving, caring mom with worry, as if the two must walk hand in hand. When they’re infants and toddlers, we worry about our children’s growth and development. We worry about the world in which they’re raising them, with all...
Getting Back To Your Roots
Posted by Meg | 0 comments
One of my New Year’s resolutions last calendar year was to explore my roots. I signed up with Ancestry.com, gathered formerly published genealogy books from family members, and set to work. It’s been a year, and I have made quite a lot of interesting and fascinating discoveries. It didn’t take long for our two...

There are...

When September and October arrive, I begin to think about apples. I begin to think about lighting apple-scented candles in my home, visiting apple orchards near our home, and incorporating apple crafts and projects into our homeschooling days. Here are some of our favorite apple projects, apple-themed books, and learning...
Beyond the Books

As a new school year dawns, I begin thinking about what I want to teach my children. Of course, at the forefront are the basics and fundamental subjects: History, handwriting, math. But what about beyond the books? One of the reasons we made the decision to homeschool in the first place was to have freedom over what and how...

Handwriting Practice For Your Little Artists
Posted by Meg | 0 comments
My daughter loves, loves, loves to draw. Yet like most preschoolers, handwriting is new and novel and isn’t quite as fun as drawing animals and people. A book series that incorporates both drawing and handwriting was recommended to me for use, and I’m so glad I was enlightened to their existence! The Draw Write Now...
