Homeschooling, Running & Biking Adventures
So, “roads.” I use that term loosely. These were more like ideas of roads. After a good rain, they turned into slip-and-slide obstacle courses. We woke up to gray skies and goopy trails, but also a good excuse for art projects and extra coffee. We knocked out some morning chores and then broke out the … Continue reading Nebraska Trip: A Vacation Series | Day 4: Sloppy Roads
Our oldest officially caught the farm bug. She fed guineas, checked on gardens, took out the trash like it was her life’s calling, and even harvested some veggies. She was in her element, walking around like she’d been hired on as farmhand-in-chief. It was honestly beautiful to watch—there’s nothing like seeing your child fall in … Continue reading Nebraska Trip: A Vacation Series | Day 3: Farm Chore Day

The dedication, the hard work, and the passion that go into traditional schooling are incredible. My husband? Homeschooled his entire life. And me? I spent my last three years of high school … Continue reading Why We Homeschool
When we first started homeschooling, I knew I wanted something different. I didn’t want our days to be confined to four walls, stuck at a table with worksheets and a never-ending to-do list. I wanted learning to be alive—something we could see, touch, and experience. That’s why adventure is a non-negotiable in our homeschool. In fact, we … Continue reading Why Adventure is a Non-Negotiable in Our Homeschool
