On my parents little sheep farm near a small town in South Dakota the kids got to watch the sheep sheerer one rainy morning in June. Educational stuff, to be sure. (Can I just throw in there how bad my back would hurt if I were bent over at such an angle for hours on […]
TOS Review: Christianity Cove
I’ve had the privilege lately to be studying with my children two different materials from Christianity Cove. I received the Activities to Teach the Fruits of the Spirits pack and the Lord’s Prayer Lesson Pack. Both files I received were PDF downloads – but not just any PDF. Colorful and fun, these were really well […]
Brothers.
After a minor (though Sterling would most certainly debate that word) mishap on his bike, Pierce was highly compassionate toward the agony of his brother. (Interesting, since Pierce regularly attempts in inflict said agony on said brother. Funny how that works.) I particularly enjoyed the cheek pinching and ear pulling. It’s compassion… in a one […]
Sterling.
On the very same driveway where I learned to ride my bike twenty-odd years ago, my newly-turned six year old son learned to ride without training wheels. And then he fell down, whined about it for a bit while while his brother watched him bleed. (And I compassionately photographed the event.) […]
TOS Review: Let’s Make a Web Page
Liberty (age 9) and I got to use Let’s Make a Web Page from Motherboard Books for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review Crew. I received the PDF download and Liberty and I worked through it together on the computer. Let’s Make a Web Page states that children under age 10 will need an adult alongside, […]

TOS Review: Math Mammoth
Liberty and Eden have been trying out Math Mammoth for the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew lately. We got to use three different worksheet sets, all from the Make it Real Learning series: Arithmetic I for grades 3-6, Arithmetic II for grades 4-7, and States by the Numbers – South Dakota for grades 3-7. Not a […]
TOS Review: See the Light
I’ve been able to review See the Light and their art DVD God’s Runaway with the kids last month as part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew. I received the DVD that contained the story of Jonah and three different lessons that had you drawing along with an instructor with step by step instructions. The […]
Sterling’s 6th Birthday
Sterling turned six on Saturday. To start off the day, he requested homemade doughnuts for breakfast – complete with Christmas colored sprinkles. He didn’t mind. I think they were good. I had this great idea for his gifts. He got four – usually I have several small things for them, but Sterling’s gifts were […]
On Friday morning, bright and early, I throw a week and a half worth of clothes for seven people in the van (7×12 = 84 outfits. Be still my beating heart. We’ll take less and wash laundry. I’ve learned to limit them to packing in their backpacks or our gas mileage will suffer from the […]
