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!

It is an expensive endeavour in the UK, and she doesn’t show… Continue reading Homeschool Plans for Rebecca {Aged 12-13}

Mystery of History Volume One Posts
I have very slowly been writing the Mystery of History posts as we cover each lesson. We are probably going at a quarter the speed we should be, but I’m thinking some is better than none. And the girls call this fun school so I must be doing something right, albeit at a snail’s pace… Continue reading Mystery of History Volume One Posts
