Remember when you could walk into a little thrift Remember when you could walk into a little thrift store, dig through the book shelves, and come out with an armful of books for just a few dollars? 

Most thrift stores aren’t like that anymore… but today I found one where the books were still just 25¢ each!! It was picker heaven @salvationarmyus 📚 

It felt like finding a little piece of the good old thrift-store days. And yes, I bought a lot!

Homeschool mom of 5 here 👋 One thing I have to rem Homeschool mom of 5 here 👋 One thing I have to remind myself of a lot is that academics are only one part of their education.

Of course I want my kids to learn and do well academically. But I also want them to spend hours outside, have plenty of time to play, build strong relationships with each other, develop good habits and character, notice the beauty around them, love good books, and most importantly, learn to walk with God.

Those things aren’t extras we squeeze in after the “real” schoolwork is done in our home. They’re some of the things I care about most!

Academics matter, for sure, but I’m not just educating their minds. I want their education to shape their whole souls.

A little more intentional time with my two littles A little more intentional time with my two littlest, one week at a time. They have started getting so excited for this together. We spend about 30 minutes and it fills their little cup all week!

Recipes, crafts, messy projects, and plenty of fun art because the creating matters more than the finished product over here!

Follow @wonderandtower as we make something together every week.

Welcome to our uncurated homeschool! We had such a Welcome to our uncurated homeschool! We had such a peaceful day yesterday, and I just had to document it. Not every day looks this calm. 

The toddler sometimes interrupts. The kids sometimes struggle to focus. 

But it has taken YEARS of faithfulness to get here. YEARS of learning to listen to the Bible while we work quietly with our hands. And like I said, most days we are still working at this.

@cindyordoamoris has always been so encouraging to me in homeschooling to remain faithful to the work at hand. It’s the day in and day out that we can faithfully complete, not all the grand plans we could never live up to!

Based on my priorities in educating the souls & minds of my children, what can I commit to daily? And how am I going to faithfully accomplish it? This is the beauty of morning time to me.

Our morning time schedule (spread throughout the week)  consists of:

- Prayer 
- Bible reading
- Poetry 
- Bible memorization
- Artist study
- Composer study
- Hymns
- Folk songs
- Geography 
- Habit & Character 
- Calendar work

We have done more or less throughout the years. Sometimes I have scheduled too much and we don’t get things done. This year I have paired back and it’s been such a sweet spot of holding their attention and time together!
