Homeschool programming is just as important in my opinion as math and languages. We live in a very different age now, with everything working remotely and all on the computer. Programming and coding should be a core lesson and we treat them as such in our homeschool. **Disclosure – there may be affiliate links included…
Online classes are a big part of our homeschool week, I just can’t teach everything! Especially as we head towards middle school, even math is getting more and more challenging, and with science, I was struggling in elementary grades! So we have been using online classes for a long time. I understand this is more…
Science is one of those subjects or at least for us where it doesn’t come naturally. Up until now, we have kind of winged it! For elementary we used a very ad-hoc homeschool science curriculum, but as Freddie is now going into middle grade I need to up my game! I have created this huge…

The Elf on the Shelf is an important part of our festivities, even though Freddie is now 11. He might not believe they are real, but he certainly believes in the magic of Christmas. Our Elf on the Shelf, Twinkletoes, even makes an appearance at Halloween, as the Halloween Elf! What better way to have…
We absolutely love treasure hunts in this house, so after the popularity of our scavenger hunt for Christmas, I thought I would create a Halloween treasure hunt for this year. we have also created a treasure hunt for the Elf on the Shelf!

We are really lucky as Freddie has always enjoyed reading, so much so that we have books everywhere. Now, this is where my problem starts, as we homeschool we have loads of curriculum books and loads of workbooks and even more reading books. So I thought rather than buying a new house to keep all…
As we head towards our first day of homeschool, I like to try and find fun activities for us to do, but also take some time to reflect on previous years. We always create some all about me questions and back to school mad libs, which you can download for free at the end of…
I just love writing these Christmas gift lists, as it always means Christmas is on its way! I have written gifts for 10 year old boys and gifts for 9 year old boys previously. But as my son is about to turn 12 this year I thought I would write a new post all about…
I don’t know about you, but I like to be super organized. So at the start of every new homeschool year, I check out the best homeschool planners. I actually use two, a digital one for me that I use for planning and a paper one that Freddie uses every day to list what he…

Learning a foreign language is hard, especially if you homeschool and only speak one language. We are from the UK but now living in Florida. So being able to speak Spanish is pretty important. I learned French in school as many do in the UK. But of course, as the years have gone on, I…
