Intimidated by the thought of teaching homeschool greek? These resources will help put those fears to rest.

As I worked on my World War 2 Books for Kids and Teens post, I considered how delicate it is to teach our children about such a traumatic thing. We all know that for each child we must consider individual needs and temperaments, but these are the first thoughts that come to my mind. (This […]

In today's post, I'll share a brand-new picture book and 3 other books that teach children about illustrating their writing!
The fifth novel in the The Chronicles of Barsetshire, The Small House at Allington concerns the lives of the two Dale girls, Lily and Bell, who live at the Small House. While Bell is in love with the local doctor, James Crofts, Lily is pursued by two men: the worldly, rich and handsome Adolphus Crosbie and the poor but honest Johnny Eames. With each determined to gain her hand in marriage, who will she choose?
