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.

Why play history games: Similar to my math…

2026 Goals and Memories
This past year I spent three months updating my blog. One of the things I did was go through and delete a lot of posts, over 200 posts, and consolidate many of them down into a single post for each year for my memories. In the process I learned I really liked the years that…

November in Review
Okay, it’s December 2 and I’m sitting down to write this. That tells you what my November was like. And most of what made my month crazy there are not pictures for and I can’t totally put on here because it involves things that I won’t share publicly. (There are affiliate links in here) Week…

Christmas in Iceland
I attempted to recreate Christmas in Iceland, and very quickly discovered I do not have the necessary baking skills. So this became a slightly less aggressive set of Homeschool Christmas and geography lesson, and instead focused a bit more on the spirit of the activity. Christmas in Iceland So, an Iceland tradition is to make…

Gingerbread Man lesson
As part of our Christmas in Germany unit, we read The Gingerbread Man. There are so many great copies of this book you can find (I’m somewhat partial to the Jan Brett version), but for this particular unit, since we were studying Germany, I stuck with the original tale; besides, it made a great homeschool…
