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.

  • Ethiopia Unit

    Ethiopia Unit

    I have no clue what to write for an introduction here. So imagine I wrote something super original, about this Ethiopia Unit, and you were super entertained and I got your attention. Sorry, my brain is fried right now so I’m sure I’ll be revising this geography lesson later as I’m adding it into my…

    I think an amphibians and reptiles unit is one of the most fun science lessons with little guys because it’s so easy to become a field trip.  You just load up and head to the nearest pet store and spend a long time watching the snakes and turtles climb around. A perfect field trip if…

    Hi! Okay, this is Future Ticia 2024 coming in and updating this post for when we redid the unit in high school.

    STEM challenge: Design a Greek Temple

    There are certain design styles that are eternal. They come back into style over and over again, and one of the most eternal is the Greek columns. You constantly see them brought back whenever a society wants to show they are mature and need to be taken seriously. Look at all of the European capitals…

    Zoology is a favorite subject with elementary kids.  They love to watch animals, go to the zoo, act like animals, and will watch endless animal movies. Or maybe that’s just my kids?  Either way I’m discovering I’ve got dozens of animal and zoology for kids posts. Future Ticia 2024 wants to add that our elementary…

  • Delaware Unit

    Delaware Unit

    Hi! Both Future and Present Ticia 2024, way back in 2011 I wrote a Delaware Unit post with our version of our unit back then. Fast forward a dozen or so years and we redid our Delaware Unit when the kids were in high school because they remembered NOTHING! Okay, that’s not fair. They remembered…

  • Who was Moses book review

    Who was Moses book review

    Often times we treat figures from the Bible like they are figures from an episodal TV show. They show up for their episode, but it doesn’t affect anything else in the show after they disappear. Our Bible lessons are episodic, and do not connect one to the other as a general rule. Who Was Moses…
