I will share with you as much help and support as I can over our homeschool journey.
Our situation is quite unique as we started homeschooling in the UK when my son was 8 years old. After about 18 months we moved from the UK to Florida where we now live and continue to homeschool.
I try and share knowledge from my time homeschooling in the UK and now in America.

Our kids have gone through so much over the last few years. Much more so than we as parents had to deal with, and unfortunately, with what is happening in Ukraine, it is just getting worse. Starting conversations about topics as hard as these are incredibly difficult for adults never mind for children. There is…
I have been homeschooling my son for over 4 years now, one year in the UK where we are from, and the remaining 3 years in Florida where we now live. I have shared all of the homeschool resources that have helped us through the years. He originally started in the public school system in…
My son loves to read, I mean really loves to read. Therefore, I wanted to share with you his absolute favorite books for 13 year old boys that he can’t put down. He is a self-confessed geek and loves all things Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Marvel, so a lot of these kids books fall…
As we are wanting to finish grade 6 early and jump straight into 7th grade, I wanted to do some map testing homeschool with NWEA mapping tests. I know I have an incredibly bright child, that is one of the reasons I decided to homeschool in the first place. But actually, I have no idea…
Do your kids know what they want to do when they are older? This career test for teenagers and tweens is going to help no end. The reason we took this career test is so we can shape our homeschool curriculum to fit the path he is likely to follow. Prior to this career test,…
We’ve all been there, you know the time the kids ask for their first cellphone. “But Timmy from soccer practice has got one!” I think the first time Freddie asked for a cell was when he was about 8 years old. Now to be fair, he saw his brother and sister with them and didn’t…
Black Friday is nearly here!! I am so excited, I tend to buy all of our homeschool curriculum and supplies either in June or in November, Mainly as I love the sales! Carry on reading for over 30 black Friday deals for kids. I have scoured the internet to find the BEST Homeschool Black Friday…
The very reason we wanted to homeschool in the first place was to give Freddie the absolutely BEST options when it came to college/university. We knew he would thrive at homeschool, and now that we live in the USA, choosing a college will be here before we know it! Homeschooling in the UK and America…
Homeschooling is hard whether you have multiple children or just a single child. I just want to put that out there straight away. But you can absolutely homeschool an only child, and we have been successfully doing it for the last 4 years. We love it and you can love homeschooling an only child too….
We all know these dreaded days when mom is sick and you have to take care of the kids! It’s even harder if you homeschool, you are not just a mom who can send the kids off to school. You are with them 24/7! See how we homeschool when mom is sick. But don’t worry…
We have been homeschooling now for nearly 4 years, and of course, the pros and cons of homeschooling are varied through the years. We have homeschooled both in the UK and America, so we are very versed in both countries. Now before I start I need to say that homeschooling is not for everyone. Homeschooling…
Multiplication charts are a really easy way to visualize the timetables. These free multiplication chart printables are beautiful and will look great either printed on the wall or even added to a ring binder for easy reference. If you are going through the pain of learning multiplications with your kids, I really feel you. It…
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 kids educational videos in our homeschool mostly through Youtube, but we couldn’t find any good documentaries on there. Carry on reading for our Curiosity Stream review and why we love…
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…
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…
