Homeschool Curriculum
Through our many years of homeschooling, I’ve had the privilege of using many different curricula, some because I thought it would be the perfect match for our family, some because I was getting to try it out to share with y’all. I don’t know about you, but I find it immensely helpful to see how other homeschool moms like a particular curriculum, or materials, and often use it to make my curriculum buying decisions.
(Side note, I rebranded my blog, and there are over 10 years of posts to update, so many of the posts I’m linking to here are not updated yet, it takes way more time than I realized)

Fine Arts homeschool curriculum reviews
Fine Arts is an area I struggle with, while I enjoy both of them, I am not naturally gifted at teaching the subject. So, I am quite happily using great music and art curriculum others have created.
Foreign Language homeschool curriculum reviews
I have no natural ear for foreign languages, I was quite happy to take sign language in college and not have to mangle accents, so I’m always looking for more ways to learn a new language.
History and Geography homeschool curriculum reviews
I hate the term social studies, I don’t know why, so I’m calling this history and geography, even if it’s bulkier. There are a plethora of great homeschool history curriculum, and there are a few really good homeschool geography curricula, of which I’ve only tried one or two.
