Today we decided to go on an adventure through time at the Missouri History Museum. Even though I've lived close to St. Louis for the majority of my life, I had somehow never gotten around to checking this museum out until now. I know, worst "St. Louisan" ever! (Unfortunately my photos from this trip are terrible quality. That's what I get for bringing my cell phone ... Read More

What about us homeschool moms that need to combine the best of both worlds? We need a planner that's made just for us, so I decided to try my hand at helping with the ... Read More

Top 5 Deals for Dad’s Day
Our homeschool would not be able to function with the hubsterdude. Not only is he the man of our house and helps me play good cop/bad cop when the ladies get out of hand, but he helps me play the role of teacher in so many ways as well. Without having him around to help me on those days where I just can't brain any further, or helping me further explain scientific stuff in a ... Read More
Roadschooling: Learning that Comes to Life
Roadschooling is something that is so intriguing to me. The hubsterdude and I have always been travelers, and because of this we have created three mini travelers as well. Being on the road is so enjoyable for us that my oldest once told me she liked the driving part more than the destination sometimes. Having kids who love to travel as much as we do has made life so much more ... Read More

Free Types of Sentences Printable One of the topics my girls needed to spend a little more time on was sentence types. They had a hard time remember what declarative, ... Read More
See How Jen Uses Pumpkin Seeds for Learning – Link Up 6
Halloween may be over, but today's featured post was too good not to feature. In fact, I'm bumming that I didn't catch it until after my pumpkin carving was already over and the seeds were already burned (yes, I should not be allowed to ever attempt that one again). Besides, with Thanksgiving right around the corner there are still plenty of opportunities to carve pumpkins for ... Read More
