Welcome

Hi! I’m Ticia, and this is my little corner of the internet. I’ve successfully homeschooled all three of my children and sent them out into the world. You’ll find our lives starting in preschool all the way up to present day. I loved homeschooling my kids and sharing our crazy messy lives and the fun adventures we had. You’ll see a lot of history, a smattering of science (though not quite as much as the kids got older as their science got more complicated), many books, and a lot of Bible. I hope I can give you the confidence to know you can homeschool your kids and teach your kids all about the Bible even if you don’t know all of the answers (spoiler, no one knows all of the answers). There are so many fun ways to learn, and writing about it gives me an excuse to keep learning and keep doing all this cool stuff even though my kids have graduated from homeschool.

    As a teacher, I loved working with Laura Numeroff’s books. The kids loved listening to her books and the antics of the different animals. In my second year of teaching I got a stuffed animal of her Mouse from the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie books. Now that I have my own kids…

    Homeschool Thanksgiving

    I’ve been slowly working through the homeschool holidays to get everything organized so I can know what we like to do, and then I hit Thanksgiving.I discovered I don’t have any posts on a homeschool Thanksgiving, and that’s because I spent most of the kids early years trying to decide how I wanted to teach…

    Syria Unit

    I was going through my emails to find a recipe and saw my Syria unit recipe and thought, ‘Why do I still have this email? I already wrote this,’ then I came over here to discover, no I never actually wrote my Syria unit. I just thought I had written it. So years ago we…

    Apologia Science is a wildly popular homeschool science curriculum and a great spine for building your science lessons. When my kids were in elementary school we used them, and we I’ve created a lot of lessons for our land animals unit, and I wanted to put them all together in one place rather than scattered…

  • West Virginia Unit

    West Virginia Unit

    As I write these posts I try to find pictures that capture the idea of the state. There is no specific “this location says West Virginia,” instead I think of rolling mountains covered in trees, and I start hearing a sort of vague blue grass song in my head that I don’t even really know…

    Figuring out how to disciple our kids can be a tricky thing. Some of us grew up in the church but had families that didn’t have a plan for discipleship at home so we don’t know how we want to teach our own kids. Some of us didn’t grow up in the church and are…

    Design a Siege Tower

    When we talk about technology we always think in terms of digital items. We think something that involves a screen most likely because that’s what technology has been recently. But thousands of years ago technological advances were much simpler it was the inclined plane or the screw. When the Assyrian Empire was around they created…
