Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
I’ve had the blessing of being part of (and sometimes running) different sized co-ops for over 20 years. If you ask my now grown children, they will tell you that the things they did and learned in our co-ops are some of their best homeschooling memories. I can tell you that the relationships I’ve made…
A few weeks ago, I purchased a silicone letter mold for my kids. The molds make letter shapes and can be used for ice, cookies, food, clay, and anything else you can think to squeeze into them. My kids came up with the idea to use the letters to make frozen words, and they had…

As any homeschool mom can tell you, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get it all done. You are busy! And while you do have good intentions and want to read aloud to your children, there is always something getting in the way. Science experiments, busy toddlers, meal prep. You know how important it…
Astronomy is a subject that is often overlooked, but it’s also one that many young students (and older ones too) are very interested in! I remember as a child when my dad told my sister and me that we would get to stay up late that night to drive out to the country and try…
When it comes to languages, we simply love them! All of them! Even the dead ones! Haha! And by dead, I mean Latin. Yes, Latin may be a so-called dead language, but I see it more alive than ever in many other languages that we are studying. In this post, you will see how we…
Do you have a home-schooled student in middle or high school? If you do, you know that it can be a frightening time when algebra and chemistry start to make a daily appearance in your and your child’s life (yikes!) In many cases, this is when school begins to transition into a more independent learning…
When it comes to my pre-reading kids and planning homeschool curriculum, I never put geography and church history on my radar as subjects to worry about. At all.
