Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
Have you ever heard of the practice of creating commonplace books or the habit of commonplacing? Friends, I am delighted to share information with you on this timeless custom that is beneficial for homeschooling! A commonplace book is a literary practice that dates back to ancient and medieval times. Authors, writers, and everyday folk…
Some people tend to be crafty, and others have a more classical approach to art. I do a little of both but tend more toward a fine arts approach when it comes to materials. If you’re looking for help in choosing art supplies, look no further! I’ve made a list and done the shopping for…

We all want to encourage our children to love reading, so we wanted to help you by creating a series of articles on various topics related to reading and book lists. Early Chapter Books for…
Create something out of nothing with scribble art. There is nothing more fun than making art from a scribble. The thing I like most about these funny little mixed up scribble creatures is that they are whimsical and clearly imaginary. One thing I feel that’s missing for many children today is a sense of imagination….
When I began homeschooling, the first thing I chose was our math curriculum. This was one subject I didn’t trust myself to teach without a textbook.
