How to Make Homeschool Decisions
There are so many choices out there for your homeschool: Charlotte Mason, unschooling, unit studies, student led…to name but a few. And then there’s the curriculum choices, with multiple options in each category. What’s a homeschool mum to do? In this post, I will share one simple tool which will show you how to make……
Homeschool Viking Presentation
Welcome to our homeschool Viking presentation. In this post I have recorded how we set up for the presentation, how we prepared for it as well as some of the photos from the night. This presentation happened almost a decade ago, so the photos aren’t great quality, but they’ll give you an idea of how……
How to Make a Trench Cake (World War One)
The British government released the following recipe to teach the British public how to make a trench cake. The goal was to create a cake which could be sent to soldiers in the trenches from home. It became affectionately known as ‘Trench cake’ because of its dubious ability of not going bad over time. It……

Benefits of Homeschooling
We have homeschooled since the beginning. In fact, we knew we would homeschool before our eldest was even born. However, neither Gary or I are against schooling as an excellent educational choice. We both loved our school years. That said, there have been multiple benefits of homeschooling our five children. Benefits of Homeschooling… Time Just……
Keeping Homeschool Records
Keeping homeschool records is becoming increasingly more important in the UK. This is because the government is pushing for homeschooling in England to become more regulated. It needn’t be a hassle though, and there are enough options out there that even the most hardcore organisationally challenged families should be able to find a method which……
Seasons of Joy {August 2022 Edition}
❤️ The Comings and Goings of Claire ❤️ Four Frogs. We have four new residents in our little garden pond. The children have named them, but the names are so ridiculous I can’t bring myself to tell you! Gary bought a sort of grass or perhaps a type of reed (I’m not really sure). It’s……
Is Homeschooling Your Calling?
Is homeschooling your calling? I certainly believe it is for me. And over the years this has been important. Believing deep in my heart that God called both Gary and I to homeschool our children has been vital to me. I have been homeschooling for over twenty years now. I still have at least five……
Guido D’Arrezzo Composer Study
This Guido D’Arrezzo composer study is a perfect accompaniment to a medieval unit study. Guido D’Arrezzo was a Benedictine monk and one of the most influential music theorists of the Middle Ages. Practical in nature and wanting to make learning music more accessible and efficient, Guido laid the foundation for our modern system of music.……
Dealing with Home Education Authorities
Last week I wrote about the Home Education Law in England which is so important when considering homeschooling. For most of us, dealing with the home education authorities will happen at some point in our home educating careers. If you are in an area with supportive authorities, it can be as simple as sending in……
Precious Moments {August 2022}
The past month has been fairly relaxed as we learnt about the Romans and just enjoyed being with each other. Back in May, Becca had asked if she could throw a summer slumber party. I do my best to say yes as much as I can to any ideas the girls might have, and they……

Beowulf, prince of the Geats, attempts to destroy first Grendel, the foul fiend, his mother, the hideous sea-hag and finally a monstrous sea dragon. First, we read Beowulf by……
