Review: Night Zookeeper – A Great Idea, Poorly Done
When I first heard about Night Zookeeper, I was intrigued. A gamified approach to language arts? A platform that could actually get kids excited about writing? As a homeschooling parent, that sounded almost too good to be true. At first, I thought it might actually deliver. My kids were excited, and while the program was…

The Big Bang: Where Stardust to Storytellers Begins
Every story has a beginning. For our universe, that beginning is the Big Bang — and it’s also where our Stardust to Storytellers Prehistory curriculum begins. Before there were dinosaurs, before Earth, before even time itself, there was… nothing. Then, 13.8 billion years ago, everything changed. Space stretched, time began, and tiny particles formed the…

Free High School World History Curriculum with OER Project
The OER Project’s history courses is one of my favorite free resources for high school level material. It’s comprehensive, adaptable, and designed with inquiry-based learning in mind. It also happens to be free (the best price for my family). In July, OER Project released an updated version of the Origins course, so I’ve updated my…

More than Music: How Suzuki Cello Built Helped Our Homeschool
When people ask what makes our homeschool work, they usually expect me to name a curriculum or time management trick. But honestly? The most consistent, grounding, and transformative piece of our homeschool has been music—specifically, Suzuki cello. All three of my children started cello at age four. Ten years later, we’ve lived through book recitals,…

I Read This So You Don’t Have To: A Review of How to Homeschool the Kids You Have
I started reading How to Homeschool the Kids You Have at 11:18 PM. By 11:22 PM, I hated it. By 2 AM, I had powered through the entire thing—fueled by spite, caffeine, and pure disbelief. I wanted something encouraging and grounded, something that honored the real-world, messy, beautiful challenge of homeschooling. What I got instead…

The Bittersweet Beauty of Letting Go: Watching My Child Come of Age
This weekend, I sat in a sanctuary and watched my child stand tall and speak with a confidence that shook something loose in me. He was taking part in his Unitarian Universalist Coming of Age ceremony, a rite of passage among Unitarian Universalists. But more than that, he was taking a step I didn’t prepare…
