Our Week in Review: Including Leonardo da Vinci, & the Zoo

  Welcome to another Week in Review here at Nourishing My Scholar! We had such a fun week with it's ups and down. The down would be that I got stung by a hornet and ended up at Urgent Care for a Steroid Shot...not fun. I also haven't quite decided when our first "back to school" day will be. Granted, we school year round but I still like to have that special first day. I've begun ordering … [Read more...] about Our Week in Review: Including Leonardo da Vinci, & the Zoo

A Week in the Life of Unschoolers

  Welcome to another week in the life of unschoolers. This is were I fill you in on all the goings on and adventures we had with our children during the week. The biggest news this week...our son, Gabriel, asked to have his hair cut. Not just any hair cut. A Dr. Who (Matt Smith) hair cut to be precise. Not that he had to ask. His hair, his choice, but I must admit...I'm going to miss those … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of Unschoolers

10 Things You Need to Know to Homeschool

10 Things You Need to Know to Homeschool

  I never thought someone would come to me and ask, "How do you homeschool? How do you make it all work." But that is exactly what has happened. Several moms new to homeschooling have asked, "How do I get started?" I'm no expert. I am however, an expert on my own children. We've only been doing this homeschool gig since our children were preschool age. So in that time frame, I've learned a … [Read more...] about 10 Things You Need to Know to Homeschool

A Week in the Life of Unschoolers

  We started this week at the Library. There nothing like being surrounded by books to lift one spirits. Our son, Gabriel, made his selection and walked out like a boss. There was a little strut and everything! Following our trip to the Library we proceeded to read all about Corn Snakes, Black Mambas, Rattlesnakes, and King Cobras. Yes, there was a theme. Gabriel may or may … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of Unschoolers

A Week in the Life of Unschoolers

  Another full week has gone by. We had family visiting for most of it and the children loved having visitors. My sister and brother-in-law came from their farm in Tennessee to hang with us here in Georgia. We loved having them. The kids adored the epic battles at the playground in the rain with Uncle Joe. Just because we had guest didn't mean that our son, Gabriel, … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of Unschoolers
