Ghiberti Art Project: Metallic Art

This month our family is spending a little time with Renaissance art as we prepare for next semester’s community fine arts projects. We’ve used this Ghiberti art project as one of our advent calendar activities this year. (My inner multi-tasker is loving this killing-two-birds-with-one-stone thing.) Supplies Needed: Ghiberti Picture Study Pages (pictured above) from this Great Artists […]

A corporate mom’s decision to stay at home

Oh, my. As I was scrolling back through past emails in search of job descriptions of my former engineering and education careers, I came across a note I wrote as I made the decision to be a stay-at-home mom. I’m not sure why, but I feel compelled to share it here as one of the most important Ebenezers of my life. […]

Americas & Antilles Countries Capitals Flashcards

Boy howdy! Survival mode has hit me quite a bit this semester! Between directing a homeschool community, directing a toddler, and directing a middle school student (not to mention the rest of the family), plans just don’t happen as planned around here.

We Choose Virtues Review

  Character training? There are honestly so many great programs available, but what has stuck (literally, up on the wall) the longest for our family is not a curriculum or unit study; it’s simply a set of words we rehearse over and over again.

European Countries & Capitals Flashcards

We’re studying world geography and wanted to share a little something I made for Stephen (but mainly me, ahem) to give him (or rather, me) a different method of practicing the countries and capitals of Europe. He hasn’t wanted to use Seterra or Quizlet to practice, and drawing and labeling are tough to do when you’re […]

Latin Noun Declension File Folder Games & Cues {Printables}

Several months ago, someone asked if I had a noun declension game like our verb conjugation file folder game. Since then, I’ve been working on this little somethin’ a little bit at a time (as much as a toddler and life full of other stuff will allow). And finally, it is finished (I think?)! First, […]

What about Worldview? {Studying Ancient Religions}

“Learning to discern the worldviews behind the literature we read or the entertainment we watch is a powerful safeguard against becoming the ‘simple person’ to which Solomon referred.*  Many people absorb their worldview from the influences around them rather than learning to think critically about what is being communicated and to evaluate whether or not […]
