God has created babies with an incredible ability to learn new things. Just think about it. Everything is new to a baby! They are exposed to new sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and textures daily. In the first years of life, children develop faster than at any other time. They learn to sit, crawl, and walk.…
Reading Kingdom
How can I teach my child to read? I think that is one of the biggest concerns of parents planning to homeschool their young children. We’ve been led to believe that it is really difficult and that it is very important that you chose the right method or you might ruin your child’s entire future!…

Beeyoutiful Laveshmint
I’ve received a lot of fun curriculum products as a member of the Homeschool Crew. And I really like curriculum, but I have to share the curriculum with my children. Beeyoutiful sent us some products just for us, the homeschool moms. (Or any woman, of course.) I know that I spend very little time on…
