It is so important to get kids coding at a really early age. See all of the coding recommendations that we use in our homeschool.
I absolutely LOVE homeschooling! Do you know the main reason? We can be led by our child’s dreams and aspirations. We don’t need to do anything in order, and we can pick and choose the curriculum that works for us. Coding is a great example of this. We have been coding in our homeschool for…
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…
We’ve all heard about coding, and we all know it is important, but if you are anything like me you probably have no idea how to teach it! Getting kids coding is so important that I needed to find some way of teaching it in our homeschool. We originally started with coding in early elementary…

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. First I want to just cover the subjects we will be doing in…
Ok, so the last couple of weeks have been hard. We have been homeschooling through the summer months, and wow what a challenge.

Homeschooling is not just about the academic curriculum anymore. There are so many changes happening in our world now that it’s important for me to provide my kids with an education that will prepare them well into adulthood. Whether they go onto college or get a profession right out of high school isn’t matter –…
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…
