Teaching civics in your homeschool can be a harrowing task. So I wanted to create a post that shows you the easiest (and mostly FREE) way to have a homeschool civics curriculum that you will all enjoy. In Florida, Civics is taught in 7th grade. But as we homeschool, I thought I would slowly try…

OK, we have given up on winging it for science! We are three weeks into our 6th grade homeschool curriculum, and my backup plan to use Real Science Odyssey has already begun! We honestly planned to make up our own homeschool science curriculum for 6th grade, however, this just did not work for us! Freddie…
Christmas is our absolute favorite holiday, in fact, the whole month of December is. We have always had a Christmas Eve Box for Freddie, but why should he get all of the fun? So this year, I have decided to create a Christmas Eve Box for us! I will go through all of my Christmas…
As we are now heading into homeschooling middle school, we were on the lookout for a homeschool writing curriculum, that isn’t boring! Freddie although loves reading, absolutely hates writing! This is until we have started using WriteShop. I know having a dread of writing is fairly common, certainly with boys. So we spent a lot…
I have absolutely no idea why financial literacy for kids is not taught in public schools. However, as we homeschool, this is something we have been doing for a number of years. This post is aimed at older elementary kids and middle school-aged children. But financial literacy is something that should be taught as soon…

Freddie has been playing the piano now for just under a year. He has in-person lessons for 30 minutes weekly, but to supplement this I wanted him to have online piano lessons too. Here I have listed all of the best online piano lessons for kids I could find. Some of these are completely FREE,…
Thanksgiving is a new holiday for us, that we have only been celebrating for the last 2 years. It always falls near my husband’s birthday, so we get to have DOUBLE celebrations. Any excuse for a party!! After playing the waiting game last year while the turkey was cooking, I decided this year to make…
We are just about to finalize our 6th grade homeschool curriculum so I wanted to share what we will be using this year. Freddie is now 11 years old and would be going to middle school if he were in public school. If you are reading this from the UK, this is the same as…
We first came across Curiosity Stream a couple of months ago, and I have to say we LOVE it. We already use a lot of educational videos for kids in our homeschool mostly through Youtube, but we couldn’t find any good documentaries on there. So we started looking and came across Curiosity Stream. **Disclosure –…
Learning about the 50 States is super important to us, especially as we are from England. We of course knew a lot of them, but certainly didn’t know any of the capitals. We love to have FUN in our homeschool, and learning about America is a perfect time to bring out the games, activity books,…
Ok, so the last couple of weeks have been hard. We have been homeschooling through the summer months, and wow what a challenge. So I thought for the next couple of weeks we would try something different. Teaching with Star Wars! I know, genius right! Well of course this will only work if your little…
We are just about to introduce Shakespeare into our homeschool, and I am so happy about it. We haven’t been back to England since moving to Florida over 2 years ago and we all miss it. So learning about Shakespeare is such great timing for us, we used to live very close to Stratford Upon…
As we approach our first day back to homeschool, it got me thinking. Wouldn’t it be nice to get him a homeschool gift? He doesn’t get to go back to school shopping, so no new backpack, no new clothes, so I thought this year as he has a lot of public school friends I would…
