Phonics and Reading with McGuffey is a learn-to-read app by Literacy Soft that entered our lives just about a month and a half ago- thankfully! But before I delve into too many of its details, I want to tell you how we got there and why we needed it. Roman has been in… Read more…
For the past month and a half we have had the pleasure of being able to try out the Great Empires elementary curriculum by Home School in the Woods. I have had my eye on this company for a few years now because I just love their graphics and how hands-on their learning style… Read more…
How she’s 9 months old already is a mystery to me! Crawling (mostly like a bear) for nearly two months now, 4 teeth in (that she grinds together so badly it makes me want to jump out the window!), and FULL of personality- I LOVE having a daughter! There are so many things I… Read more…

Judah loves to do school right now so I knew this math curriculum would be the perfect thing to give him something solid but fun to sit down with on a regular basis. The… Read more…
