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.
Germany Unit
We studied Germany a couple of different times in our geography lessons. We studied it first when the kids were little as part of a Christmas Around the World Unit. Then we made a delicious meal, and finally we did a mad dash through Europe in high school. Now in 2025, years after we completed…
Pirates booklist
Arrr! We all love pirates, or we like the theory of pirates, but if we think about it too much, we start to realize pirates are not the fun romanticized idea, so let’s just go with ARRR! I was looking up some books on something else when I saw a book I vaguely remembered reading…
China Unit
Geography studies are a great way for your kids to learn about different countries, and with Chinese New Year being so recent a bunch of us have been looking for China activities for elementary kids. What amazes me is how many amazing things there are to create a great China Unit for a geography lesson.Hi,…
Comoros Unit
Y’all I have sat here with this post half-written for like 2 years because I apparently forgot to make the recipe for Comoros. It needed a very specific ingredient and I bought the wrong thing, which means it was not going to work, so I wrote up everything else and it has sat here forever.…
Ethiopia Unit
I have no clue what to write for an introduction here. So imagine I wrote something super original, about this Ethiopia Unit, and you were super entertained and I got your attention. Sorry, my brain is fried right now so I’m sure I’ll be revising this geography lesson later as I’m adding it into my…
Amphibians and Reptiles unit
I think an amphibians and reptiles unit is one of the most fun science lessons with little guys because it’s so easy to become a field trip. You just load up and head to the nearest pet store and spend a long time watching the snakes and turtles climb around. A perfect field trip if…
December 2024 in Review
Christmas time is here! Music everywhere. Actually I don’t think that is how the song goes… Huh, I should try and figure out just what those lyrics are.(yeah, there are affiliate links here)Week 1Okay, this is a very boring week of pictures. I put the pictures for the craft on last month I think, and…
Florida Unit
Hi! Okay, this is Future Ticia 2024 coming in and updating this post for when we redid the unit in high school. I’ve clarified the projects we did in our original Florida Unit back in 2011, and then updated with more information for a more thorough geography lesson and all that for our current United…
STEM challenge: Design a Greek Temple
There are certain design styles that are eternal. They come back into style over and over again, and one of the most eternal is the Greek columns. You constantly see them brought back whenever a society wants to show they are mature and need to be taken seriously. Look at all of the European capitals…
