SQUILT: Music Curriculum Review
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

Review: The Homemaker’s Guide to Creating the Perfect Schedule
To schedule or not to schedule, that is often the question roaming through my mind. I, personally, love a schedule. I like things to be in neat lines and tidy rows. I get excited walking through the organizational aisles at the local shops. A spreadsheet makes me smile and if it’s colour coded I’m in absolutely heaven. My family on the other hand... not so much. Here’s the thing though, certain … [Read more...] about Review: The Homemaker’s Guide to Creating the Perfect Schedule
Classical Curriculum – Arithmetic Books
I don't know what it is, but I am always drawn to what I call the "Little Old Books." I guess it is the time-tested methods and the harkening to a better simpler time that always piques my interest. It seems like these days, most of the current curricula for little children is either digital, complete with all the blinking, bleeping, flashing distractions that kids today have come to love, or … [Read more...] about Classical Curriculum – Arithmetic Books

Hands-On Elementary Science – Science Works Book
When my daughter was in the early elementary years, we focused on the three R's for our homeschooling. Then in the summers, we usually added in some science studies. So when I was looking for a resource for our summer science activities one year, I wanted something fun and hands-on. And I found both of these qualities in ScienceWorks-ENERGY, by Evan-Moor.

Learn to Sew with Sewing School
As both a Charlotte Mason style homeschooler and someone who enjoys making things, I have made it a point to introduce my children to many handicrafts. I see handicrafts as a way to teach skills, encourage creativity, and promote productive use of time. Sewing is one of my favorites to introduce to children because of the wonderful things you can make and the usefulness of this life skill. … [Read more...] about Learn to Sew with Sewing School
Review Math On DVD Calculus
Last winter I reviewed Math on DVD Pre-Calculus by Steven Gottlieb. Since then my son has been learning calculus, and it has not been easy. However, his frustrating experience has often been soothed by a session with Math on DVD Calculus 1. As a physicist I’ve worked with calculus for many years, but I do not remember much of it after almost two decades as a stay-at-home mom. And, while it … [Read more...] about Review Math On DVD Calculus
A Collection Of Math Lessons Review
When my twelve-year-old was seven, math became a chore for him and thus it became a chore for me. When the mere mention of math time caused panic and fear in both of us, I decided we needed to change our routine up. At that point I’d been doing a lot of research and running from something dubbed in the homeschool community as Living Math. In short, we chucked our math curriculum out the window … [Read more...] about A Collection Of Math Lessons Review
