With another school year starting, we thought it was a good time to talk about home schooling. We’ve been traveling continuously for over a year while homeschooling our four children and this is what we have learned along the way. One of the biggest draws for homeschooling (at least it was for us) was the flexibility that we have to …
We were all pretty excited about our recent visit to Space Center Houston to get a sneak peek of behind the scenes at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. We are a homeschooling family and we live on the road fulltime so anytime we can trade the books for real life, hands-on learning we all get excited. Space Center Houston is the …
One thing is for sure, we are a water-loving family. I grew up going the lake and Hilarye quickly fell in love with the water as we dated. We wanted to share our love of wakeboarding with our kids and get them some wakeboard lessons. However, being in an RV we’re not currently boat owners. We had never even considered cable wakeboarding …
With the help of American Girl, we surprised the girls with MaryEllen’s Airstream Travel Trailer, the new American Girl Camper. They were so excited to have their AG dolls experience a little of what they get to do on the road and have a place of their own in the American Girl Airstream. Summer is one of my favorite times …
When I heard about Turkey Hill Experience in Lancaster County, I knew it would be a must for our family to visit. Since we homeschool, we are naturally drawn to educational experiences for our kids. On top of that, we love to attend factory tours and watch how things are made. We knew we would be visiting Hershey Experience and …
One of my greatest desires for my children and homeschooling is for them to graduate knowing a second (and possibly third) language. You may have noticed but traveling is one of the most important things to me right under faith and family. I love for my children to gain a wider perspective on the world, an understanding for other cultures …
My kids are so obsessed with all things American Girl right now. And if I have to be honest, I kind of am too. Only because it’s something that is so reminiscent of my own childhood. I didn’t actually own any dolls but I had oodles and oodles of the books and every time that AG catalog came in the …
My oldest is obsessed with all things American Girl. I am serious, straight up obsessed. She spends hours and hours pouring over the American Girl magazines, reading the books and when she gets a chance watching American Girl YouTube videos. She would have her own doll, but I really wanted to wait until she was older (she’s 6 years …
As you likely know by now I am passionate about teaching my kids about the world, usually from hands on travel experiences. It’s a gift that Reid and I are giving our children, really. A gift of understanding, acceptance and love. Even at a young age I want them to appreciate the beauty of different places and different cultures. We …
We have been doing a lot of talking and teaching about emergency preparedness as of late. We are not trying to scare our children but teach them how to be self-reliant and create peace of mind that if something were to happen we are equipped and prepared to take care of ourselves so we can in turn serve others. …
