Since this is my birthay month, every Friday I will be highlighting one of the FREEBIES in my TPT store.

This worked last year and over the summer, but just has not been jiving with our schedule this fall. Having a dirty house does not bring me peace. The kids are busy all day with lessons,… Continue reading The new house cleaning plan

A Whole Year of FUN Spelling Practice for Homeschoolers!
I just added a WHOLE YEAR of monthly themed spelling word practice activities for homeschoolers to my TeachersPayTeachers store. Many years ago, when we first started homeschooling, I quickly learned that spelling practice was not a favorite activity for my girls. It did not seem to help them to just copy the words over and… Continue reading A Whole Year of FUN Spelling Practice for Homeschoolers!
