How we teach our kids to cook, starting at age 2, with a five level cooking method Hello! If you were here, it means you’re interested in teaching your kids to cook. We started our cooking journey six years ago… I am so glad we did. My daughter, who is now eight, can cook completely by herself… Just with supervision for things like the oven or the stove top. She graduated as a level five this year… let me break down the levels for you. We generally start level one whenever they are ready to start helping put stuff in a bowl, which is usually age 2. My one and a…

Adding Poetry to Your Homeschool- Why? and How?
Adding Poetry to Your Homeschool- Why? and How? Poetry… Honestly? Not something I ever imagined would be quite this big into our homeschool. I grew up on simple nursery rhymes, and other rhyming poetry such as Dr. Seuss. I love rhymes, and I love books that rhyme! But that was where my fascination stopped. It wasn’t until I read “The Brave Learner” by Julie Bogart, where she talks about igniting passion in your homeschool with poetry, that I even considered adding it in. Now, the way she talks about it is along with Poetry Tea Time. So back in 2019- my kids and I dove DEEP into poetry…

The Answer to: “But how do I know WHAT my homeschoolers need to learn?”
The Answer to: “But how do I know WHAT my homeschoolers need to learn?” The simplest answer, they need to learn what they want to learn. But, if you are like me, and want to be that loosey goosey but CAN’T- well then, this is for you. I went to school to become a teacher. Is that training necessary for homeschooling? Absolutely not. They didn’t teach me to homeschool, more how to manage a classroom along with some general education. BUT what I did learn was where to look for “standards” that public schools use across the country. Because I live in a SUPER low regulation homeschool state,…

Using Book Based Unit Studies to Enrich Your Family Life
Using Book Based Unit Studies to Enrich Your Family Life Yes! Book based unit studies are our life around here. You will always find us with some kind of book… even down to the 1 year old. Although his book preference is pulling them off all of the shelves and leaving them scattered about. BUT Books and Book based studies have CHANGED OUR LIVES and our homeschool. We actually build our homeschool around books, not just trying to find somewhere they can fit in. So I wanted to share a few things with you. What is a unit study? What are some good book based unit studies? How in the…

Our Chore System, and How it works with a 5 and 7 year old
Hey everyone! I have a new chore system to share, and don’t forget to download the free chore pack that comes with this blog post! This all started because I was pregnant, and really couldn’t do much. It had been a hard pregnancy! So I needed my kids to help out more, and even do a lot of my chores that I couldn’t physically do anymore. My husband and I were talking about ways they could help around the house- for my sake, but also for them to be a little more responsible before the baby comes. So I thought… what if they earned points for their chores? What…
