As soon as I began reading The Frame-Up, I knew it had to be on this year’s book club reading list. The premise of living artwork was too fun not to explore further! There’s one important rule at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery—don’t let anyone know the paintings are alive. Mona Dunn, forever frozen at thirteen… Continue reading Book Club, Art Edition: “The Frame-Up”

A Year of STEM Activities with Tied 2 Teaching – Review
My kids love doing STEM projects. We even started our own tiny STEM club this year so that we’d be sure to incorporate STEM on a regular basis (because, face it, finding good plans and collecting the needed materials can be challenging). That’s why I was super excited to give Tied 2 Teaching‘s STEM Activities, Full… Continue reading A Year of STEM Activities with Tied 2 Teaching – Review
Drive Thru History® “Acts to Revelation” – Review
Drive Thru History® is our all-time favorite history curriculum, so we were super excited when Drive Thru History® “Acts to Revelation” showed up in our mailbox!

Book Club, Hiking Edition: “The Honest Truth”
Just like in Dan Gemeinhart’s debut book The Honest Truth, the weather wasn’t cooperative for this month’s book club. With loads of rain, the rivers ran high, and we had to change plans often, which diminished the size of our group – but not the adventurous spirit with which we enjoyed this book. Mark from The Honest… Continue reading Book Club, Hiking Edition: “The Honest Truth”
Book Club, Girls’ Edition: “Absolutely Truly” & a Wounded Warrior Project

Kids Create: Making a Historical Documentary
As a kid, I always wanted to be a teacher; as an adult, that hasn’t changed. I was worried about that when we decided to homeschool, but I find myself still teaching – just in a wider variety of roles than ever! Sometimes, what needs to be taught is pushing my boundaries of knowledge, however. … Continue reading Kids Create: Making a Historical Documentary
Book Club, Durham Edition: “The Ambrose Deception”
I love when books lend themselves to big life activities, and that’s exactly what Emily Ecton’s The Ambrose Deception does that in a very big way! The book is kind of a cross between Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and The Book Scavenger, both books that we’ve done in book club, and so I was very excited to… Continue reading Book Club, Durham Edition: “The Ambrose Deception”

First of all, the… Continue reading Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women – Review
