Moses and the Exodus: Reading Along with the Mystery of History text, I read Exodus, and Wonders and Miracles to the girls. These are both excellent books, especially Wonders and Miracles – it is full of stories, poems, readings, songs and incredible drawings. I consider it one of the more special books I own.

Homeschool Plans for Rebecca {Aged 12-13}
My plans for Abigail are based very much on her goals for her future and her interests. She loves everything science related. Becs, in contrast, does not! Becs finds all things academic incredibly hard. We are thinking about getting her tested for dyslexia. It is an expensive endeavour in the UK, and she doesn’t show… Continue reading Homeschool Plans for Rebecca {Aged 12-13}
Code of Hammurabi {Mesopotamia Homeschool Unit Study}
The Code of Hammurabi is fascinating on so many levels. Firstly, it is the longest and most complete set of legal rules known to man.

Tuesday Study Day {Master’s Chronicles}
As you know, I wear many hats. Sometimes (ahem…yesterday…cough) the hats fall off and I am no good for man nor beast. Yesterday culminated in me making a lovely bolognaise and adding a little water to the tomato puree jar, shaking it and belatedly finding out I hadn’t put the lid on properly. My lovely… Continue reading Tuesday Study Day {Master’s Chronicles}

Homeschool Log Book {November}
This is all the work that the girls have completed over the last few weeks. These weeks have been filled with winter colds and bugs.

Achievements in July
July has been a tough month for me. I have been feeling really tired. Not my fairly frequent ‘I haven’t slept for weeks’ kind of tiredness, something worse and not normal for me at all (think falling asleep sitting up whilst working). This has made getting up early and going to the gym regularly difficult.… Continue reading Achievements in July
