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.

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…

Mayflower craft Thanksgiving lesson
There are a whole slew of great books about the Pilgrims and the Mayflower to use for our history lessons, but I wanted to do something a little different, so we watched, drumroll please: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (affiliate link, there are several more in here) I remember seeing this as a little kid and…

October Month in Review
October has been so insane. I’m attempting to catch up with it all, and get life caught up, and I don’t know how I thougth life would slow down once the kids were in college. Clearly I was insane to think that. (there are affiliate links in here) Week 1 This is all from that…

Viking Unit
Vikings are such an odd time period in history. As a culture, we are very obsessed with them. We’ve created so many movies and TV shows about them, and their actions did a lot to change our culture, but the individual Vikings do not do much to change our history. It makes it difficult to…

California unit study
Well after many tries and travails we have finished our California unit study, and that means it’s time to share some more homeschool geography with you. We completed the California unit study twice, once when the kids were in preschool, and a second time when they were in 5th grade, so I’m including both versions…

Man After God’s Own Heart lesson
A few weeks ago, our Sunday School lesson was the Call of David, and specifically, we were focusing on how David was a man after God’s own heart. I thought of a fun way to teach this to my fifth-grade students and really teach them this man after God’s own heart lesson to them. (there…

Ten Timid Ghosts craft
“Ten Timid Ghosts” is about, well…. ten timid ghosts that live in a house, and a mean witch moves in and ‘she wants them out.’ Reading this book makes for a fun homeschool Halloween lesson, and my kids loved the rhyme. {This post contains affiliate links} Ten Timid Ghosts is a cute rhyming countdown story about…

Washington state unit
When I was in third grade, my school got Weekly Reader newspapers. They were small papers with a theme, one week the theme was Mount Saint Helens and the great volcanic eruption. Somehow, in my head, Mount Saint Helens had just erupted. In reality, Mount Saint Helens erupted several years earlier, and they were reporting…
