Beast Academy is a comprehensive math curriculum for grades 3-6 that focuses on problem solving and critical thinking. Below you will find my Beast Academy Review and why we switched to this program! When I first made the decision to homeschool our three children this year, I knew that one of the major predictors of our success as homeschoolers was choosing high-quality curriculum. At this point in time, my kids want to return ...

September 11th Remembrance Art Collage
As we are homeschooling this year, I wanted to take the time on September 11th to remember and honor those who died in the 9/11 attacks. Most of us Americans (who are old enough) can remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when we first learned of the September 11th attacks. We vowed we would never forget...and part of that is sharing this tragic part of our past with our children. I came up with this ...
Homeschool Lesson Plan Printable
Once we made the decision to homeschool this year, I knew I wanted to make a super simple at-a-glance lesson plan. I was already overwhelmed with choosing curriculum and I wanted to be able to look at ONE page for all THREE of my children, rather than having different lessons plans for each child.

While that might work for some families, we simply don't function well without some structure (as the last five months can attest to). I am not a morning person, so getting up and going in the mornings is a challenge for me. Thankfully, my kids are more "morning people" than I am so the hardest part this year might ...
Our Homeschooling Curriculum Choices for 2020-2021
I shared in Instagram stories recently about our decision to homeschool this year. This is our first year to ever homeschool! My children have attended our local public school since kindergarten and we have always felt confident in this decision. This year, however, we made the decision to homeschool in light of the pandemic and all of the uncertainty it brings. When I shared on Instagram about our decision, I received many messages ...
Hungry Hungry Hippo Pool Game
This life-sized Hungry Hungry Hippo Pool Game is perfect for groups and parties! The game can be played with four people and is much more challenging than it looks! One of my favorite games growing up was Hungry Hungry Hippo. Sadly, as an adult my fondness for this game has grown weary due to the incessant noise the game creates, causing my sensitive and aged ears to groan in protest every time it is played. But thankfully ...
