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.

    As I’ve been working on different science lessons, I’ve been trying to tie them to specific units, and saying this is this type of science lesson, and I keep saying, “Oh we did this as part of our Flying Creatures Unit, when we covered Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day, let me go find that…

    A few years ago, we studied anatomy for our homeschool science, and we made a wonderfully complicated edible cell model.  We are reviewing biology this year with the kids, and we reviewed all about animal cells.  To help get it into their heads, we made an animal cell cookie model.(This post contains affiliate links)Animal cell…

  • March 2025 Memories

    March 2025 Memories

    It’s been a month of fighting technology, so I didn’t want to start this, gonna be honest. I’ve been feeling rather discouraged with how everything has been acting behind the scenes.(there are affiliate links in the form of many books and a few games)Week 1I started off March with a book release. My friend Stephen,…

  • Learn Math Fast Review

    Learn Math Fast Review

    Math is the subject for which I had the hardest time finding a homeschool curriculum that worked. I tried several different math curriculums, and one that worked for one child did not work for another child. A math curriculum that worked one year did not work another year. I am a big proponent of experimenting…

    Hi! Okay, so I went to go look at my Jesus Feeds the 5000 Unit post and realized, I had it with the Jesus Walks on Water Unit, but the URL is for Jesus walks on water, and so I realized, why don’t I just copy that over into a new post, rather than writing…

  • Botany Unit

    Botany Unit

    We never officially studied botany in our science lessons. We just ran into the occasional botany lesson, and I think we may have had a short botany unit when we had a year of zoology. Mainly because I remember having a lesson about different leaf types. Okay, but either way, I was realizing I had…

    Making a mummy

    We started studying Egypt this week in our homeschool history lesson, and what do you think of when you think of Egypt, but mummies.  So, taking a page from the Story of the World Ancient History lessons, we’re making a mummy.Warning, not for the easily grossed out, or germ-o-phobes.Hi, Future Ticia 2025 here, and I’m…

  • Peru Unit

    Peru Unit

    I was looking for old posts to share and found a chicken soup post to share, I’m reading it and realized it was from back when I was doing Around the World in 12 Dishes, and it was a Peru dish. It was an interesting flash from the past. It was also probably not a…
