My goodness what a trying week we have had around these parts. Chalk it up to homeschooling ignorance / over ambition — aka just because homeschooling affords your family with lots of free time, this doesn’t always mean you should sign your kids all up for eleventy-billion extracurricular activities. Oh sure, it’s possible. And yes…
Today we’re reviewing a cute preschool workbook, Draw and Learn Faces. This beginner workbook is perfect for any tiny tot ready to yield a writing tool. At first I thought maybe my four-year-old would be a little too old for this work, but he loved it. Really anything that is his own that the big girls…
We have fallen in love with a couple of gorgeous, wooden calendars. First is the traditional, wooden perpetual calendar that comes from Etsy shop FromJennifer.

About a month ago, I saw a for sale post in the Montessori Materials for Sale group on Facebook for a lovely, wooden sun stacker. With our upcoming…
Pin It Maps are seriously cool. We ordered the Land and Water forms set for my beginner readers, ages 6 and 8; my goodness, the pin map has quickly become a favorite activity. There is some assembly involved — but there’s no need to be intimidated. I roped in my sweet hubby to help me tape the…
