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.

Once we are adults, we spend large amounts of time writing reports, but it is not an easy skill to learn, and there are several types of reports. It is good from an early age for kids to write reports and learn how to write reports. I like to find different ways to incorporate learning…

Travel Games
We LOVE road trips. We travel quite a bit, and that means I have kids who are bored in the car. In the 13 years, this is Future Ticia of 2019, not the 2013 Ticia saying this, of parenting my kids haven’t had electronics in the car. Instead, they’ve read books, listened to audiobooks, and…

Can you cross the Oobleck Ocean?
A few years ago we studied astronomy (check out our astronomy lessons), and at the end of it all we had a Life in Space Unit, and one of the activities I somehow forgot to write about all those years ago was crossing the Oobleck Ocean. This is a super fun and messy STEM project,…

January in Review
Okay, let’s go. It is so weird to think that one fourth of this century is done. And here goes my plan of just recycling these posts and republishing them each year. This may be a crazy idea, but I think it will work. (There are affiliate links in here) Week 1 The first week…

History Games for School

I love finding new and unique ways to teach history lessons, and games often fills this challenge. Though many history games are not intended for young kids.

December in Review
Mwa ha ha ha, it is December 15 and I am starting to write. This is so much better than November when I started writing the post on December 4. Sigh, that month was insane. (there are affiliate links in here) Week 1 Looking at this, these pictures are totally out of order, but here…
