The Last Days Way Journal
I don’t think I’ve ever been more expectant as I am for this homeschool year. The more years of home education under my belt, the more confident I am that this is exactly where we’re supposed to be and what we’re supposed to be doing. My oldest daughter, Lavender, will be starting Form 2 this […]
Last month, I decided to embark on the tedious task of documenting every single lovely picture book that we’ve enjoyed, in the hopes of sharing them with other mamas that are looking to grow their home libraries or just have a better experience at their local public library. I will go month by month, giving […]
Our History with Math and Why We’re Switching Curricula Many of you have followed along with our family as we have had quite the journey with Math Curriculum. Last year, we hit a real sweet spot with Math with Confidence. We’ve used Math with Confidence K, 1 and 3. We still absolutely love Math with […]
Every homeschool family looks at Summer a bit differently. Some take long, full breaks; some hardly break at all. Our family falls somewhere in between. I view Summer as a time to work on skills that perhaps got put on the back burner during the previous school year. I also view Summer as a time […]
I’m starting a new series, folks! And boy, is it taking me down memory lane. I’ve decided to do a summer of picture books, month by month, day by day. One of the most frequent questions I receive from new moms is, “what books should I buy?” When building a home library full of high-quality, […]
There are countless reasons to include nature study in your homeschool, but I’ll just focus on the reasons that make it invaluable to me. Creation is used throughout the entire Bible to point to its Creator. Trees, roots, branches, stars, rivers, torrents, sparrows, eagles, mountains, steams, deserts, gardens, clouds, constellations, rocks, fire, seeds, wildflowers- can […]
Introduction We are studying the 1700’s, and I am so deep in planning that I’m actually starting to have dreams that I live in colonial times. We are focusing on following the 1700’s chronologically, while also digging in on diverse perspectives within the colonial era. I see a lot of mamas in the Charlotte Mason […]
We have officially finished out the 2025-2025 school year, so this is the time of year where I get to come here and reflect. I personally enjoy coming back to these blog posts and reminding myself of what we accomplished and the memories we made. I also like to be share what we actually used […]
Lately, I’ve been asked to share how our family ultimately decided to go with a stricter Charlotte Mason philosophy as opposed the more eclectic Charlotte Mason “leaning” philosophy that we held before. This decision has come with much thought and prayer. I was the girl who said I’d never be caught dead reading six volumes […]
This year has, without a doubt, been the most successful homeschooling year yet. What’s laughable about that fact is that our life has also never been more full of uncertainty. We are currently living with my parents in a very small, quaint townhome where we have very little space for schooling. 95% of our materials […]
