Copywork Using Great Literature Broadens Minds
I love using copywork in our classroom because it’s such a powerful teaching tool. I’ve found it has numerous benefits that reach far beyond just learning to write neatly. Today I'm going to share some tips for copywork using great literature. (To learn more about copywork read What is Copywork? And why it’s the missing piece in your homeschool day!) One of the great things about copywork is how it lends itself to broadening a child’s world. Through copywork, beautiful works of literature are available to a child in a way that’s more easily consumed and understood. It’s one thing for a child to sit down and ...Read More
20 Easy Habits to Create a Christ-Centered Home
My oldest just turned fifteen, so excuse me for being a little nostalgic. How is it possible that my new-mom days seem like just last week—but at the same time they feel like a lifetime ago?

Or it may derive from the Scots Gaelic term sgonn meaning a lump or mouthful. Others say it comes ...Read More
Homemade Lemon & Lavender Laundry Soap
I first began dabbling in making homemade laundry soap to save money. We were on a tight budget—anything I could do to save a few pennies here or there helped give us a little more wiggle room. And making my own homemade laundry soap was definitely an easy way I could save money. The lemon & lavender laundry soap also smells absolutely divine! But the more I began to learn about what was actually in most laundry soap, the more I realized we needed to make changes. Fighting Lyme disease, I knew my body didn't need to also contend with all those toxins rubbing on my body through the day. And I certainly didn't ...Read More
