Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
I love gardening. It can be such a fulfilling way to connect with the natural world. (Plus, with the cost of groceries these days, many of us are becoming more interested in growing our own food!) But the garden can provide more than just food for homeschooling families. It can also provide a great way…
Let me share with you how I came to even consider Notgrass History and Our Star-Spangled Story, an elementary American history curriculum by Notgrass History. In the summer of 2022, a sweet friend of mine and I went to a homeschool convention together. Friends, my mind was BLOWN. We sat in presentations from Pam Barnhill,…
Let me share a little about our dyslexia journey. You might be in a place where you suspect your child has dyslexia (that’s where I was), or you may have an official diagnosis after completing a dyslexia test. Our journey may be very similar or wildly different, but I really think it helps to hear…
Do you have difficulty believing you can make math fun with math games? I know, right?!! I was right there, too, when I first started homeschooling. Confession time: I hated math when I was in school, and I was afraid to even teach it (even the lower levels of math)! So, I was always on…
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about celebrating a significant other, it can also be a special season to share some sweet moments with all the people we love, especially our children! We’ve put together a list of Valentine’s Day books for kids. We get excited about Valentine’s Day around here. Don’t believe me? Check out this…
As a homeschool mom, I love it when I can find fun resources that can be used by my children independently and with parental involvement. Our recent experience with the World’s Most Fascinating Rock Collection was just that! My kids were obsessed with it, but I loved most that the recommended activities take various amounts…
If you ask my 7-year-old what her favorite subject is, she will say “science” in a heartbeat. She is a voracious reader so I put together this list of fun science-themed children’s books about winter and cold weather. She is curious about everything from how our bodies work to why chickens lay eggs. I am…
Winter is a great time to do a nature study! You may think it’s too cold to be outside, but don’t let the cold temperatures deter you. We’ve had some pretty astonishingly lovely winter days here lately. So pick a nice day to get out and walk around the park or go for a nature…
We are excited to announce our new Geology Camp and Cave Crawl! We’re going back to Kentucky with an all-new Geology Camp and Cave Crawl! Every year we have repeat travelers (We are SO thankful for all of you!!), but as we continue to provide fun and educational travel for homeschool families, we are growing…
My daughter loves crafts, but I struggle to come up with them, but in this Ivy Kids review, we’ll see how this struggle solved!Seriously, our art room is filled with construction paper, paints, brushes, scissors, glue, chalk pastels, and everything else needed for craft time. I usually give her free reign over what she wants…
We know with inflation at its highest, many homeschool moms are looking for ways to help with the family budget by working. We have great news! Compass Classroom has four positions open at this time. If you saw our STEM Day Giveaway (in November 2022), you saw how popular their giveaways were. Compass Classroom has…
Have you ever tried doing Magic Tree House unit studies? Fall is the perfect time of year to give them a try if you haven’t before. Well, to be honest, any time of year is the perfect time! I love doing unit studies in the fall, though, because snuggling up with a good book is…
