Designing a home-centered life: learning, exploring, and creating with our five littles
Y'all, this girl gives me grace upon grace. I have stumbled, more than once, in front of her and she has kindly and generously encouraged me and supported me. God is using her to work in my life and I'm grateful!Please welcome my friend Kim to the A Day in the Life series today. Perhaps those with teenagers will especially find the change in … [Read more...]

She's lovely, super cool, and organized…not to mention, generous with sharing her experience. Please enjoy this peek into a day in their life!Hi, my name is Sarah Herr. I have been married to the … [Read more...]
As many of you now know, we are expecting our fifth this summer. Yay! :) As amazingly lovely as babies are, pregnancy can be just as strongly terrible for me. At least in the beginning…and then again a little at the end. :/ Besides being a physical battle for me to remain upright (I'll spare you the gory details), it is also … [Read more...]
Guys, get a fresh cup of coffee and settle in for a warmly honest talk with my kind friend and fellow CC mom, Sarah Keating. Her family is dear to mine and it is a joy to share life and learning with them. I hope you find the peek into their day (especially if you have a new baby at home too!) refreshing and maybe you'll even find some … [Read more...]
Friends, please welcome Kirsten Gregoire to the blog today!

In fact, I think I learn something new in each conversation with Becki and her resource recommendations are always spot on! Please enjoy this look into their day. … [Read more...]
Raise your hand if every day is homeschooling utopia with your family. No? No hands raised? None here either! One of my most favorite things about my group of friends is no matter what kind of day I’ve had with my littles, if I tell my friends, at least one of them can relate. Good? Yup, they’re all cheering me on and sharing their … [Read more...]
One of the best parts of homeschooling is the customization it allows. Over the last few years, I've had the chance to learn what I like in a curriculum and what works for our family. I'm sure this will change in slight ways over the years, but keeping these criteria in mind as a guide when making selections for our family is very helpful to … [Read more...]
We do lots of little projects on paper in our schooling - copywork, drawing, diagramming, worksheets, cut & paste, etc. My littles really love doing these activities. They're so good for reinforcing memory work and for expounding with more information. We store all of these papers in their notebooks. Each little has a 1.5 inch … [Read more...]
