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.

    50 State Study: New York

    I was going to write about when we studied New York in high school where we did our quick blitz of a geography lesson as we ran through United States Geography, and I realized I had written about this way back when the kids were tiny all the way back in 2011, so as I…

    June in review

    It is June 19 and I’m starting my post. That tells you about my June so far. (there are affiliate links in here) Week 1 I took practically no pictures this week, which is a perfect contrast to next week where I have all the pictures. The big thing I remember is going out for…

  • Beauty and the Beast

    Beauty and the Beast

    My absolute favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast. I was at the perfect age for the Disney Renaissance and when Disney’s Beauty and the Beast came out, I had so many friends excitedly tell me I was totally Belle. Over the years I’ve collected several Beauty and the Beast picture books and Beauty…

    Discipleship Through Parenting

    Over the years, as I’ve parented, I’ve learned that parenting is discipleship. All the bible lessons ultimately are applied as we parent. It’s a series of small moments that you take the time to fin,d and sometimes you recognize them and sometimes you don’t. Some of these are just me reflecting on a moment and…

    Robin Hood book club

    Years ago my brother read the Robin Hood Illustrated Classics book and told me all about how Robin Hood actually died. Or how he died in that particular version. See here’s the thing about Robin Hood, he gets reinvented every few generations for the politics of the current generation. Which makes this a perfect Book…

  • Oklahoma Unit

    Oklahoma Unit

    We have now done an Oklahoma Unit twice. Once when my kids were super little, and in kindergarten, and a second time when they were in junior high. Both times, they were fun geography lessons, but they did teach me a lesson in humility. Just because I vividly remember a book and activity, does not…

    Guinea Unit

    Oh man, it’s been over four years since we did our Guinea Unit and I’m now sitting down to write this post and I realized I don’t remember much of what we did, so I’m rewatching the Geography Now video and reminding myself of what we did for this geography lesson as part of that…

  • Parable of the Unclean Spirits Lesson

    Parable of the Unclean Spirits Lesson

    by

    in

    This is one of those odd lessons that Jesus taught. It’s also one that isn’t a super common Bible lesson. Almost everyone can retell the Parable of the Uclean Spirits in some form or other, but it’s not a common Sunday School lesson, but it’s a good Parables lesson to teach. Though I had the…

    May in review

    Okay, in theory, I’m getting this post written in real time, at least as of the first week that’s what is happening. Let’s see how this goes. There are affiliate links in here, mostly books. Lots and lots of books Week 1 We started May with Leezard getting her staples out. That was rather hilarious…
