What do you do when your child asks if Santa Claus is real? It can become quite a conundrum depending on how you’ve approached the tale of Santa over the years. This post is one I wrote back in 2020 for my first Blogmas. I have updated it and want to share it again because... Continue Reading →
Our Homeschool Curriculum 2024

I'm not sure of the extent to which it was remodeled, but I do know that it was painted and new flooring installed. I just remember walking in and my eyes landing on the fireplace.

Sausage Penne-Ghetti
One of the simplest and quickest dishes we make on a weekday is spaghetti. You boil the noodles, cook the meat, mix it together and add the sauce. Ta-Da! It's done in less than 20 minutes. But what about when you want to add some variety? This is the question that we asked before deciding... Continue Reading →
