This is all the work that the girls have completed over the last four weeks. In general things went really well. Becca in particular feels that the balance of academic with less academic is good. Abigail’s workload has been a little too high for my liking so next month I hope to reduce it somewhat……

Wobbly Wobbly Weightless # 2
Hellooooo, and welcome to my next wobbly wobbly weightless post, where you’ll find inspiration to wibble and wobble and perhaps weight lose as well. I have joined Noom. ‘How exciting!’ I hear you exclaim, ‘What is Noom?’ Well, I’m glad you asked! Noon is a psychology based weightless program which I tripped over when reading……
Historical Discussions in Your Homeschool
Education is a funny thing, meaning different things to different people. We are in a strong position as home schoolers to educate our children with our family goals in mind. I’ve said it before, but I don’t want the children to simply learn facts. Ideally, I’d like to see them learning from the lives of……

Birthday Blessing ❤️
As much as I hate having my photo taken, I asked for this one for posterity. Gary won a raffle ticket for dinner at the very exclusive restaurant at his work. This was haute cuisine and promised to be a dining experience of a lifetime. Unfortunately Covid happened soon after, which meant that we didn’t……
Akhenaten Homeschool Lesson

In this Akhenaten homeschool lesson we will be looking at what made him so different, as well as looking at how he changed the nature of art, specifically relief work during his reign. Amenhotep IV, The Early Years Akhenaten was……
Learning from History
In our homeschool, learning from history happens intentionally between the ages of about five and twelve. History offers us everything. Apart from events of the past, history also gives us people to study, art, architecture, food, fashions, science, inventions…I could go on…and on…and on. Literally every ‘subject’ under the sun can be found within the……
What Does ‘Being Educated’ Mean?
What do you think ‘being educated’ means? Knowing the answer to this question will allow you to plan a homeschool with your own goals in mind. It will also protect you from the opinions of others, and from see-sawing from one homeschool method to another. In this post, I take a comment left on my……
Hero’s Are Made in Battles
I was reading my devotions yesterday from Sally Clarkson’s ‘Mom Heart Moments’. She was talking about the struggles we face in life and how important it was to always be facing towards God. These struggles are inevitable because we live in a fallen world, and, she continues, ‘Heroes are made in times of battle, and……
Seasons of Joy {September 2022 Edition}

The Lion Man Artefact Lesson
This Lion Man Artefact Lesson is a fascinating study into the earliest known surviving figure sculpture in the world. Carved 40,000 years ago, archeologists have dated the Lion Man to the Upper Palaeolithic era. Found in parts in the Hohlenstein-Stadel cave in Germany’s Swabian Alps, Ute Wolf and Elisabeth Schmid reconstructed the Lion Man from……
Aristarchus Homeschool Lesson
In this Aristarchus Homeschool Lesson, you will learn about Aristotle’s geocentric model of the universe and why Aristarchus did not think it was correct. Aristarchus was a scientist ahead of his time. His heliocentric theory, that the earth was not the centre of the universe, and that rather the earth orbited the sun, would not……
Daily Homeschool Schedule
Welcome to my daily homeschool schedule. I am a creature of habit and feel at my most peaceful just working my way through my tasks of the day. I do have some time constraints, such as the start of school or lunch, but mostly my day is routine and rhythm rather than time scheduled. Before……
