The school year is coming up, and I wanted to share with you my favorite homeschool themed books I’ve read over the last year. I got so much out of each of these and strongly encourage anyone who is homeschooling or considering it to read these. Even just one will be an incredible asset to […]

rylie’s preschool graduation
I never thought I’d be the parent that took preschool graduation photos. It just didn’t seem like a big deal to me… to “graduate” preschool. And then my oldest finished preschool and was gearing up to enter Kindergarten. And some of her best friends were having little graduations and I saw they’re pictures & I […]
spring learning theme – easter week
I love Easter time. My Pinterest board is flooding with ideas + inspiration for the season and I have loved creating our own special traditions for our family. This year, I decided to incorporate it into our learning time. Simple, but fun. Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Please read my […]
spring learning theme – bugs & bees
One thing I really enjoyed about springtime last year was our themed days (you can see what we did here – week one & week two). Since Rylie finished her Pre-K bookwork ahead of schedule, I brought the fun back for weekly themes this spring – starting with bugs & bees. I’ve got a lot […]

They were very creative with their zebra stripes and Emmaline obviously took an abstract approach to its eyes as well haha As for the books, Zagazoo was kind of weird until I realized the author was probably comparing each […]
letter y
Y brought on a Yeti craft and even the girls had no idea what a yeti is, they were pumped to make their fuzzy white friend. I really love the book selection for this letter. “Yes, Let’s” is a new favorite of mine and “Yellow is my color star” is right up Emmaline’s alley. & […]
letter x
X is a tricky letter, and I was curious how the library was going to handle the craft & books. When I saw the craft was a fox, I realized they were focusing on words with X at the end, which made way more sense and was probably easier haha. Emmaline and I worked together […]
letter v
“THIS WEEK’S CRAFT IS A BIRD!!!” -Ryle hahaha this week’s vulture craft allowed for a great opportunity to chat about different kinds of birds in addition to all the common V words. The girls favorite part of the craft was gluing on the feathers. I don’t blame them 🙂 This week’s books really showed off […]
